Someone once asked me if I was a socialist. My response was, if you mean that if by me thinking there is enough resources in the world for every person to have food clothes, shelter and health care means I'm a socialist? Fine, I'm a socialist. Label me.
I'm not saying ban capitalism. Actually, I'd like to. Capitalism Sucks! But while you may think I'm naive (sticks & stones, again), I am being realistic. There are too many people who have too much money who will not give up their evil capitalist ways. So if you have to label Trickle Up Economics, you can call it "Capitalist-Socialism". Oxymoron? Nah. It just means we raise the bar a bit. Instead of letting people starve and suffer we help them to become good little consumers. Once we do that it's every little capitalist pig for himself (I made that masculine on purpose). I believe that once people don't need to struggle for what they need at Maslow's first two levels they'll chill out and they won't give a shit about money and what other people think. Now if I'm wrong, what's the worse thing that would happen? We just created millions (billions if you think world-wide)of little capitalist piggies, all scurrying for more stuff. Isn't that what capitalism's all about? There'll be a freaking McDonalds on every corner of Ethiopia for crying out loud! Hurray!
