So what if Jews inhabit the high places.

If you believe in America as it is designed, meritocracy counts more than anything. However, it is a function of the society to provide equal opportunity to everyone, which our government has sucked at big time. Just the fact that everyone seems to think it is the government's job to make jobs is a major malfunction of this society.

You know the Peter Principle, you rise to your level of incompetence. It is true, meritocracy takes us to where we fail, where it is just too much to handle. Recognition by managers is critical to keep it at a minimum. People should be able to reach up as far as they can though.

Letting the government make those decisions is what needs to stop, my solution is pure capitalism, where the market runs the show and people have the opportunity to excel to their limits. The government must be left out of the economy, other than supplying the money to support it. No corporate favoritism, think Boeing, no corporate lobbying, tax rates favoring venture capital and stock growth. Just a start.

Stop limiting economic growth and encourage it, damn Obama's modus operandi.

Well nepotism mitigates against meritocracy. Nevertheless, it will defeat it and/or destroy it in the short term. I think the Jews may have an artful combination going for them. Not a bad thing? Well they don't like us, you see. Google the Kalergi Plan to find out how much they don't.

The format for life is nothing more than a (flawed) game, and you admit that by promoting capitalism.

OBTW, you know why Jews and Mormons do so well economically? They stand together, work together and support each other instead of constantly trying to rip each other up like the Gentiles seem to do. Our government and media is the antithesis of "together" so that By supporting each other, Jews and Mormons work their way into high positions easily.

True. We can't compete against the level of nepotism plus real ability in many cases. We must imitate them - which means having nations of our own which they are not a part of.

In one breath you promote letting the free market work, and in the next you praise the Jews and Mormons for doing well economically because of "networking".

What about those who do not "network"?

The object of capitalism is to win it all.

Wining it all is the equivalent of Israel dominating its neighbors economically and militarily for decades, and in the end they are surrounded by the enemies they have created.

I don't have the answer, and perhaps there is no perfect answer, but capitalism plays out over time, and this is where we are at.

No where did I say I favor their methodology, I do believe foremost in capitalism, pure capitalism with no government bias or interference. No where in the world does that exist, and the Leftists of America are fighting hard to try to get rid of capitalism here. We will rue the day that happens.

The object of capitalism is to win it all, is exactly right. When the market works, all boats rise according to the talents of the people. That is NOT the problem here. The government wants dependence to control the public, including their votes. They do not want a free society with meritocracy as the basis for achievement. They want servitude, feudal serfs to serve them. Capitalism rose from the feudalism of the Middle Ages along with the middle class. Socialism destroys the middle class.

Capitalism does play out, becoming crony capitalism as the government interferes and corrupts the free market and controls the creation of new companies and technologies.

That is where we are at. So now, who do you want as president, a businessman who has succeeded and favors a free market, or an ult-Left socialist who wants the government to make all decisions. Let me think.
