--- but as an American I don't believe in that set up --- I believe in a self-reliant middle class --- taxes for international poverty programs are not the answer --- we need to promote the middle class -- a society built around people being able to work themselves into a comfortable lifestyle

As you are well aware, I share your views on domestic capitalism, where our Founders have provided a Constitutional system of checks and balances to establish a moral and level playing field for economic competition.

Unfortunately, in a 21st Century of globalization, such a system of checks and balances does not exist on an international scale. And even though I'm opposed to the globalization trend in favor of our own national sovereignty, it may be necessary to permanently shackle global corporatism with its evil twin, global socialism, in hopes that the two extremes eventually destroy each other.

I agree --- we need a return to the Constitution and the checks and balances --- especially against unfair taxation --- just like now --- American labor has a very unfair disadvantage with all our many taxes and very large government with very large Socialist programs --- we cannot work as cheaply as those in third world countries who have very few taxes to pay.
