Democratic Capitalism
as Practiced in the United States Government 1. Regulators protect society from improper behavior associated with white collar crime with an undisciplined fine system. 2. Federal, state and local parks are for everyone and carry a nominal fee and cost society a lot of money. 3 Civil Courts are to settle disputes and cost society a great deal of money. 4. Citizen rescues by governments are free in most cases and cost society a great deal of money. 5. Prisons are to rehabilitate, not punish,
white collar crime is not punished severely, and the system has a
tremendous cost to society. 6. Treasury and and the Federal Reserve are manned by capitalists who used big money from Wall Street to get their appointments. These people believe Wall Street is the heart of capitalism and protect it, and when finished with their government service, return to wall street. 7. Congress people are helped with the design of legislation by assistants who get free information from lobbyists. 8. Entitlements follow a defined benefit philosophy.

Capitalistic Democracy Certain Government Departments make a profit and would come under the supervision of the Comptroller of the Currency Government 1. Regulators charge fines that cover all costs plus a reasonable return on invested capital. Example, the IRS and FBI fraud division, should be profit centers paying all of its cost plus a 10% return on invested capital. Whenever possible, investigations would be contracted with the federal government paying a percentage of the collections. 2. National Parks of all types charge what the traffic will bare and must cover all upkeep cost plus a reasonable return on investment. 3. Civil courts provide a service and should charge enough to cover all costs plus a reasonable return on investment. 4. Citizen rescues due to negligence would be charged all the traffic will bear. 5. Prisons are to keep dangerous people away from society, white collar crime is punished severely, but those convicted must pay their way out based on the ability to pay principle. A profit must be made based upon a reasonable return on investment. Example: Mike Millikan must pays his way out at 5% of his equity per year, for his10 years sentence. 6. Treasury and the Federal Reserve are manned by equally apportioned bankers, company finance people, academics, and career civil servants. 7. Congress people are helped with the design of
legislation by assistants who get information from a newly created
Congressional Information Office similar to the Congressional Budget Office. |

Education 1.
Primary and secondary education is managed by educators based
upon a normal distribution of abilities described by Multiple Intelligence
Theory . The aim of education will be to determine which kind of
intelligence a student excels at and to enhance that intelligence. Schools
are judged by the percentage of students who finish high school and the
percentage of students with high math and/or verbal intelligence who are
accepted at academically rigorous competitive colleges. |
