We believe that all people, no matter what circumstance they are born into, should be allowed and encouraged to reach their highest potential. When people reach their potential, the lives of all people are improved. Making it easier for other people to reach their potential, creating a feedback loop. A feedback loop that makes this time on Earth a little better for us all.
Capitalist Prayer
Lord God, I pray that somehow and in someway, I improve the lot of all humanity, And that my existence is a blessing on mankind forever.

Meeting Human needs is what Smart Capitalism is all about. In meeting a human need, the smart Capitalist becomes wealthy. The more profound the need of the people and the greater the need of the people, the greater the profit. Leveraging his/her wealth to the continuing improvement to the lot of mankind, makes him more wealthy still. Then starting a foundation to give the wealth away for the continuing advantage of mankind gains, the Smart Capitalist, immortality.
Turn greed into a positive motivator of men, and men will do good deeds, allow the Elite to their greed however, and we all suffer. That’s because the Elite (Government) lives by rapine, taking from the producers and using that money to enlarge the power of government, and thus the Elite’s power.
Sovereignty is like a see saw. There is a pivot point about which the two poles rotate. One rising while the other necessarily goes down. When Government power goes up, the individual’s liberty goes down.
“Courtesy is the grease that allows a Society to function.” If people tried to be a little more courteous and utilize the Golden Rule, everyone’s life would improve. Therefore it is in our personal best interest to be courteous. Because our own life improves when all lives improve.
Tyrants have Subjects.
Democratic Republics have Citizens!
Nothing is hard, Once you know the trick.
The trick is… finding out the trick.
Perhaps it’s time to add a fourth branch of government to Montenesque’s three others. The NUMA, after Numa Pompilus the lawgiver of Rome. This hypothetical branch would have no Legislative, Judicial, or War Making powers. All it would be tasked to do, is be the police of the government. The overriding legal authority if you will, to enforce the laws that government sees fit to saddle themselves and the rest of us with. Incapp believes that government must not pass laws that apply to the populace but not the Elite.
Similar to the Roman Censors. They would strictly enforce the laws the government has passed, only on government officials, DIRECT employees, and elected office holders. Only the governors, not the governed would come under the purview of the NUMA. They would have broad ranging police powers to investigate, apprehend, enforce and prosecute the Elite. This could, if properly applied, stifle the predilection of the rulers to misuse their power.” (excerpt from the Manifesto).
A fourth branch of government solves the “Principal Agent” dilemma, as it pertains to government. This new branch would be the overseer of the Agent (government), for the Principal (governed). It would not insure that the agent would in fact work in the best interest of the people, (that is for the people to decide). It would however, insure that the Agent would not undermine societal structure by being corrupt. This would allow government to govern, instead of policing itself.
Without having to police itself, much of the natural partisan bickering would be redirected to policy, instead of ad homonym attacks on the “other.” When the question of the legality of both (or more) parties has been determined, the people’s minds will be at rest. The Elites minds will be at rest. It is my belief that were this the state of affairs, more enlightened policy would ensue. More enlightened policy will result in society evolving to a more Human Hearted future, and the standard of living will improve for everyone.
The beauty of Capitalism is that it uses such a powerful emotion (greed), to impel people to help each other. To the benefit of everyone. Capitalism is all about meeting the needs of people. Think of the stated philosophy of retail Capitalism, “The customer is always right!” This ethos naturally drives better service to customers… a measure of the lot of humanity.
The impulse to meet our needs that propels Capitalism is the natural human want to get a better life. This can be characterized as greed. No matter what you call it is a powerful motivating factor. For Capitalism… and against Socialism and Communism.
That is one of the key points where Socialist and Communist philosophy falls down. It needs to change fundamental human attributes else it doesn‘t work. The primary motivating factor of Socialism and Communism, jealousy, is only motivating to punish, not advance.
