we have now. But as for the rest, I’m absolutely certain the phrase and

idea "progressive taxation" was coined in a letter by Thomas Jefferson

to James Madison. The truth is the socio-economic reality was vastly

different than it is now; small business owners were small merchants.

Most people were impoverished labourers,and the few who

actually had lodging had built it from logs. Lands and other natural

resources were subject to centralized aristocratic and royal power.In

that time, capitalism was a way of uniting the peasants and

artisans into an economic system that would free both from

dependence on the decadent aristocracy. The Founders could never

have imagined the rapid, beaver-like construction of the complex

laissez-faire system that has torn through the modern world like the

Black Death.

If he really cared, he would use his money to challenge Monsanto for patenting seeds (our natural food supply that they did not create and should not be able to own) and growing GMOs that contaminates other crops and ecosystems, make humans and animals sick, sterile, allergic and worse; causes famine and poverty because the seeds can only be used for one harvest; and hasn’t been tested long enough to determine the long-term effects (although the rat and pig deaths in studies go ignored by our governments). Instead Gates is working with Monsanto and contributing to the problem by thinking about his own self-interests by making sure he has a stake in healthy and natural foods that belong to us while everyone else are left to be the guinea pigs. It looks like they know that GMOs will cause problems and food shortages and they’re making sure they save all of our natural seeds that they can use for themselves (and seel back to the people at high prices). The world’s seeds, the food, and it’s biodiversity belongs to we the people, not Gates, Rockefeller, and Monsanto!

I really wish we would try it here in the US sometime, I think it would fix a lot of what is wrong here. So to answer your question: No this is not the capitalism our Founders dreamt of. It started to fall apart almost immediately after Congress started acting as a charitable lender and was giving taxpayer money away. Both James Madison and Benjamin Franklin spoke about it.

I blame Congress and Fiscal Liberalism for our current problems. Let’s try capitalism on, I really think it could work. Nothing else I’ve seen in my 40 years has.
