Open letter to Mr. Musk from an ex-dyed-in-the-wool Peon and present-day admirer of (some) of your accomplishments.
I am an Ayn Rand Capitalist but don’t have any clout whatsoever to do what I think she said somewhere but if she didn’t, I still think we should work to save Capitalism from the Capitalists.
If you were to use your vast POTUS-making fortune (the same one you used to help President Trump) to take over the Democratic Party—’kinda like Trump took over the Republican Party—and turn it into the Capitalists For Peons Party (the wealthy already have their version of Capitualism in the Republican Party) that would be just great.
Capitalism—the now known Ideal--is good and so far great, but not so much so that it doesn’t need help (Chapter 6) in perfecting itself even more.
Why do you want to waste your time starting a Third Party when you have the bones et al. infrastructure of a dead Political Party already there just waiting to be taken over by people who know how to think and act at the same time—not unlike our Founding Fathers did when they created our great country back in the last quarter of the 18th Century. If we start now then by the last quarter of this 21st Century--a mere 300 years later—we could have an enhanced, more-perfect-Capitalism Country that could have previous Capitalists—even the Greedy ones—biting their palms in unrequited, wistful desire.
Back then—1776'ish--they said, “We the People in order to form a more perfect union ...” and so on, did it.
We Americans today are the beneficiaries of their toil and troubles and success at creating a better Union.
If now isn’t the exact time, it still seems as if it is damn close to it—close enough to “... form a MORE perfect Union ....”
How exciting would this be.
Could be.
Maybe we (I) should drop the peon moniker and make it: Capitalism for thee and Capitalism for me.
The new Democrats (the ones taken over by your Fortune if you so choose to do it) could be in their traditional role as for the little guy and rather than call him peon he/she/they/them could be called Mainstreeters. If so then we’d have Capitalism for Main Street--new Democrats--and Capitalism for Wall Street--Republicans. (If this, then we can drop the slip (key word search it) I let stand above about Republicans being Capitulation Capitalists.)
We ex-peons know that the authentic Capitalists—qua authentic entrepreneurs like the olden day James J. Hill types—are the cause of wages.
Cause in the scientific sense of cause and effect—entrepreneurs seek profits and need wage earning employees to help them achieve their goals.
No profit seekers, no wages for seeking.
But because of the Wall Street Capitalists now, today—albeit maybe not forever if we aren’t careful--there is plenty of profit seeking going on and hence lots and lots of need for wage earners.
We Main Streeter types—making up the bulk of the wage earner types—need help making sure that we don’t get scammed—rather skimmed—to death by taxes and other methods the Wall Street Capitalists—not all, just the Greedy (BM) ones (the ones who have the, “ ... let ‘em eat hamburger ...” mentality as “we” BM’s can steal their paltry surplus and use it via summing it to hundreds of millions of peons and someday billions of duped taxpayers the world over to help us Greedy BM’s maintain our worldview of being TWBA’s—The World’s Best Altruists.
Apparently, the ultra-rich need “moral” goals too.
SBT—sad but true—we are still being skimmed-to-(spiritual)-death by the Altruists to do their bidding.
Rather than give your fortune away at your death like the TWBA wannabes Buffet and Gates types, why not use yours for advancing the Capitalism-Selfish'ism-Good to levels that could very easily unseat G ... oops. I’d better be careful here with my enthusiasm least I offend too many Altruists the world over—the bulk of which come from the ranks of Religion as well as from the now dead Democratic Party of yesteryear.
Rather than me concluding here with have a nice day, how about, Have a glorious future.
