United Socialist/Communist/Fascist States of America?

Yes, if you pay any attention to truth, this is where we are headed as a nation.  As of April 1, 2012 the United States of America holds the highest corporate tax rate in the WORLD.  Yes, you heard me correctly, the WORLD.  It was previously held by Japan, who was beating out our 39.2% rate with a 39.5% rate.  Japan has just lowered their rate to a 38.01% leaving the United States with the highest corporate tax rate in the world.  To put this in perspective: China is undoubtedly a communist country, and Communism is made up of huge Government that is accompanied by huge taxes.  China has a corporate tax rate of 25%...Again, you did hear me correctly, 25%!

We are clearly on a path to some other form of economic system other than Capitalism.  I have no idea what that system is.  Ill just call it Political System X.  It could be state capitalism, socialism, or, god forbid, communism or fascism.  Throughout history it has been proven that none of the previous systems that I stated stated work.  We saw fascism fail in Italy under the rule of Mussolini.  We also saw Communism fail in the Soviet Union under Stalin, where 50,000,000+ people were killed because of famine.  The famine was ultimately caused because of the Government takeover of all the private farms.  We also saw Communism fail in China under Mao.  Mao killed upwards of 50,000,000 because there was again, not enough food.  There is proof throughout history that communism, fascism, etc. do not work, but our Government insists on Government run everything.  From farming to healthcare, if the Government does not run it, you are getting hurt.  However, if you look at history it is quite the opposite.  

Capitalism is the only economic system where anybody can make it and you can have affordable food and various material goods.  Example: you know when that brand new TV comes out and it costs $2,500 and there is no way that you can afford it.  But, then you go back a couple years later and it is down to $1,000.  That is capitalism at work.  Because it is a few years old and a combination of new technology and not as much demand for that particular product, the company must lower the cost in order for people to keep buying it.  That is Capitalism in a nutshell and it is clear that it is the only system that works.  

For any hipster or occupier out there that might be reading this on their iPhone or iPad(not likely) and saying, "But Capitalism doesn't benefit the poor and we need to give the wealth to them."  May I suggest the words of Benjamin Franklin, "We should make the poor uncomfortable and kick them out of poverty."  If you keep handing them money they won't do anything to rise up and get out of poverty, so you must make them uncomfortable and make them do it by themselves.  Oh yeah, and another thing for those hipsters who apparently hate large corporations, so you would think that they would hate Apple...Anyways, it is because of Capitalism that you can afford that iPhone or iPad that you are reading this on.
