Sympathy from the Devil

In Meritocratic Democracy, the Devil’s Advocate ensures the strength of newly conceived policy. The most meritorious members of society are the utmost accomplished experts in their chosen field.

Meritocracy: A Closer Look: Part III

100% Inheritance Tax — after one million How it works: When someone dies, the state will be left with the inheritance of people who have assets worth more than one million dollars. It’s a tax that will affect only the rich. The dead do not need cash, housing or anything. Without this rate, we will […]

Rich Kids: Don’t Envy Them — Pity Them

When I was at boarding school, those years of my life were filled with both the sweet first tastes of freedom and the bitter first tastes of how unfair the world could be. As with most schools there exist distinct “cliques”, or groups of students who naturally gravitated towards each other due to some unseen […]

In 1989, the Berlin Wall fell. Savants everywhere claimed that it signified the end […]

1776: Boom! The American Revolution. The United States of America was established with the Declaration of Independence. At that time, America was no longer a part of the British Empire.

Wall Street: Robin Hood a No-Show—Part II

In Part I, we explored the failure of a petition set by a concerned anonymous citizen, to be saluted for his endeavor, regardless of its failure. Noting that roughly 11,000 American citizens signed the petition, there appears to be at least a growing concern, and conscientiousness for the future of the country. However feeble the […]
