Bush buys 111,000 barrels of crude last week, with taxpayer money at 110 dollars a barrel.

JUST TO PUMP IT BACK INTO THE SALT MINES OF THE SPR..

The Bakersfield definition of Capitalism is:
 

'Me',

Served by my slave labor and peasant customer.
 

'Me', is the center of the universe. Any other thought is sacrilegious. Any thought other than my own must be evil. Because religion serves 'Me' at the expense of a small tithing.
 

The peasants have no time to worry of the other peasants. That is my job. And I will do it when time comes. 

Redistribution of Wealth is not a liberal idea. It is a basic tenet of Capitalism.
 

If you condemn Redistribution of Wealth. You condemn Capitalism.
 

In order that an economy not resort to a fiefdom. There must be a redistribution of wealth. Money would all pool in the hands of one if capitalism did not hold close the practice of Redistribution of Wealth..
 

There are many forms of redistribution. All of them have as a purpose the betterment of society and therefore the benefit of the economy of the Capitalist society. Building of roads, parks, welfare, support for the needy, the ill, the disabled, the elderly, along with a tax in proportion to ones benefit from society. Are all examples of legitimate redistributions of wealth.
 

Capitalism can not exist outside of the law. Capitalism can not exist outside of regulation.

Capitalism can not exist outside of Society.

Capitalism can not exist outside the Redistribution of Wealth.

PERIOD

Nationalization.
 

Why do we pretend it is bad. Why do we pretend that it does not exist in America. When it has been in Kern County and Bakersfield for over a century.
 

Would the thought ever come to mind that our Sewer districts should be made a private entity?
 

San Diego, Los Angeles and Sacramento all have municipal Water and Power districts. No matter your consternations. These are in effect nationalized entities that serve the public because no other can do the job better.
 

These three thrive in the midst of what are some of the largest for profit districts in America. And they provide more reliable and cheaper services. 

If you Google municipal sewer, water or power districts. The lists go on. And On And On....
 

Yet to Nationalize a foreign national Petro Corp during wartime seems to leave a sour taste in many peoples mouth.
 

I can not for any reason see why.
 

Is it that because of History. The Ringing of the words 'American Made', still sound true to many. Especially in Kern and other oil producing areas.
 

Sure the oil is in our soil. But is pumped out of our dirt. Then abused by the Multi National petro CZAR. Refined and exported from our nation at the expense of our National security during a time of war.
 

When will we set greed aside and proclaim Security as the title on the post card card that outlines our purpose.

 No part of Capitalism allows for one group to amass all of the wealth. That is a fiefdom.
 

In capitalism the farmers are to protect the rights of the Villager. And the Villager is to protect the rights of the Farmer. In this way they are able to promote commerce and create a better economy for the Nation.
 

Adam Smith presented HIS Capitalism. The only TRUE capitalism in a book called. ''An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776).. Notice it is not named the Wealth of Superman. Or the Wealth of the Petro Czar.
 

He recognized that Capitalism is not government. It is a form of an economy that supports THE NATIONS economy.. That capitalism can not survive outside of society, laws and government. And that those structures must be protected at all cost.
 

Under Adam Smith capitalism, each entity. Each individual MUST return to society/Nation in proportion to it's benefit from society. No one is allowed to monopolize any portion of the society, or commit any act that would reduce the relevance of society.
 

Adam Smith was a deeply religious man And wrote strongly about his believes and the need for proper morality in society and it's economy. You may also want to Read Adam Smiths, “The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)'. (you can google these books and read them on line or go through my posts and find the links within them)
 

So you might figure out on your own. He was strongly opposed to monopolies and said so.. 

 I have no problem with you inventing an economy. I just don't like it when you call it Capitalism. Practice your economy allll you like. But an economy of one man gets tiresome in short order. And is usually booted from the dominant economy.

In a society you don't get to chose if you want to pay for a road a society feels is necessary. You must pay for a bridge when the majority of society says the bridge must be built. You must pay with a premium that resembles the benefits you have achieved from the existence of the society that you live in.
 

If you get contagious and sick. You must stay out of the public. And society puts a sign on your front door.
 

In a society. There are rules. You must abide by those rules or step outside the society and be denied the benefits that society may present for it's law abiding members.
 

This tough guy idea that I can do better than what society can give me. Is not reality. There is no wealth outside of society. There are no friends, there is no happiness outside of society. Reality is that you exchange benefits and labor with society to make society a better place. To maintain a society that is viable and offers you the ability to grow both spiritually and financially.
 

There are no dead bodies left to rot in the gutters in front of your house. Because society collects a premium to insure it is that way. Do you want a life where the bodies are just swept down the street until someone may concern himself to dispose of the body in the dessert?
 

Must I remove the corpses, for you, in my pick up truck. Because you do not want to bother with that part of society?
 

Being a part of society and contributing to it, is not socialism. It is humanity. It is mankind and what we have evolved into. It is what separates us from the animal.
 

You must contribute to society in proportion to the benefits you receive from society. Because that is capitalism. And that is the economy America has chosen to participate in.
 

Of course you can always count your wealth in pecans. And safe harbor in the mountains. Please pay cash for a mirror before you go. You may want to pretend you have a friend.

Bush Jr and the Fed reserve bank Nationalize the Housing market.

Treasury Notes will be exchanged for Bad bank loans.

I always knew Bush was a corporate welfare liberal.

I can't wait for him to nationalize the petro industry and health care.

Vote republican. Vote for bigger government. Vote for a government that holds your hand while you are in the bank line. Vote for a government that answers all your phone calls before you do.
