The Impossible Dream

What is an impossible dream? Well, for one thing the classless society is an impossible dream. At least it will be impossible in the current direction of this country and most of Europe as well.

Today we have more or less three classes: The political class of legislators and their bureaucrats is a class on one end of the scale. On the other end of the scale is the poor. And in the middle of the scale is the vast “middle class”, the class of workers, inventor, and producers.

Now this middle class produces all of the world’s wealth upon which the other two classes depend. So when and if the socialists achieve their impossible dream, what will you have? Answer: You will end up with two classes: The politically elite class which is still dependent upon the now lowly slave-laborer class. So there appears that there is a dilemma

Or is there? To truly achieve or even approach the impossible dream, the power of the elite political class must first be diminished. This means returning to the world of the framers of the constitution vision. This ultimately means reducing the federal government’s role to protecting the citizens from invaders and criminals. The federal government should not attempt to rescue an automobile company, nor a bank, nor any other business. The laws should be rolled back to what they were in the middle of the nineteenth century. That means getting rid of a lot of unproductive laws such as: The Wagner (labor) act, Social Security act, the minimum wage, welfare, and a whole plethora of “social” engineering laws which are destructive. Then the lower “dependent” class will have to go to work and join the middle class
