Capitalist Perfection

My belief is that capitalism is a near-perfect system, if all parties involved adhere to the moral principles and values of a sovereign God. Failing that, capitalism slowly devolves into a system of greed, power and wealth. That is what we see today in the US and it is observable in all nations that do not closely follow Christian principles.

Now that the US is no longer a Christian nation - regardless of what Sunday preachers or televangelists may claim - just look around for proof - a postcapitalist system must be implemented which is fundamentally different than the capitalism that built this nation. It must be fair, equalitarian (equal opportunity for all but not equal results for all) and adhere to principles which both theists and atheists can agree to. This postcapitalist system must also be open, transparent and comprehensive. Tax rates must be reduced, regulations loosened or eliminated, the Fed, IRS, DHS and Dept of Energy disbanded. Education must also be restructured. A charter school in Yuma, AZ seems to have a grasp of what is required. Rather than classrooms, students sit in cubicles. Lessons and course are available on the computers within each cubicle and teachers monitor and assist. Students learn by doing rather than by rote. And they learn at their own pace. This is just one method which seems to be working. The only thing I would change is for the students who have mastered the material to help those who have not.
