CAPITALISM
Let's
vote on it!
A third party?
We have had a thousand "third parties."
Each has offered its wares, been rejected and disappeared.
We have had socialist parties, communist parties, prohibitionist parties,
labor parties, progressive parties, women's parties, new parties, people's
parties, reform parties, green parties, states' rights parties
...
They all placed their ideas before the voters and the voters said NO THANKS.
The American people have had a chance to embrace every ideology under the
sun but one:
Capitalism
has never
been offered to the electorate.
Why is war so expensive?
Because the current government-operated
military establishment violates the basic principle of capitalist warfare,
which is, after all, profit. Armies originated in the sacking of
cities and other market-driven activities
The Capitalist Party will privatize the
armed forces and free them to participate in the emerging global economy.
Taxes
At last the era of progressive taxation has
ended. But the flat tax is only a half-way measure.
The Capitalist Party will institute a
negative income tax for the highest income brackets. Capitalists will not only
be freed from the burden of taxation: they will receive matching funds from the
Treasury.
The Capitalist Party will put more money in
the hands of investors, and that will produce more jobs in an expanding and competive economy.
Health
As the Texan statesman and philosopher John
Tower observed,
"Life is a commodity like any
other."
Insurance companies have made great strides
toward the realization of this inspiring capitalist vision.
The Capitalist Party will fulfill the
promise of our insurance system by establishing a commodity market in which
lives and body parts will be freely traded.
Crime and Punishment
The war on drugs has given us a marvelous
new Drug Capitalism and vastly expanded our prison population, much as Rome's
conquests expanded her slave population.
The War on Drugs addresses our housing
problem, provides workers at competitive wages, and strengthens authority.
At the present rate of growth, however, it
will take sixty or seventy years to imprison everybody.
The Capitalist Party will implement
progressive policies to achieve immediate universal imprisonment from cradle to
grave.

CAPITALIST FUTURE?

Capitalist Party in this historic enterprise.
What if
we lose?
Communism, like Capitalism, ruled without a mandate for a long time.
At length, the people of Russia and environs were allowed to choose.
The Communists lost, and they graciously conceded and bowed out.
If Capitalism were likewise stripped of legitimacy, our Capitalists would
surely follow that example.
But we are confident that the American people, now that the issue is before
them, will give Capitalism a mandate.
