Haves, Have Nots and Have Some's Three Caste System (American uni-party politics of skewed prosperity)

from The American Enterprise Manifesto: My America's Vision of Peace and Nonviolence for Humanism · host Jerry Rhoads

American politics of have, have nots and have some, creates three castes... America's democracy is being defined by what the founders wanted to avoid.  One party rule of inequality and inequity, that causes violence, vulgarity and excess wealth between the castes.  In a democracy, the individual is the focal point, not the greater good.  Capitalism and socialism also focus on the individual.  The greater good isn't rewarding effort and quality with prosperity, equally or equitably, when a few get more than the rest.  It's a distortion to assign labels to either, for political purposes. Thus, the three castes in our pseudo democratic society.  The defining difference in the castes is monetary and political influence.  It's not democratic values of opportunity for all, prosperity for all, and risk and reward for effort. It's now, the institution of bigger is better government; not just a monolith but a monopsony.  Monolith meaning, out of date and monopsony meaning, a destructive economic formula for complete control of how the castes are segregated, into the burbs, the gated communities and the ghettos.  A formula that has given rise to Marxist's socialism and communism around the world. Including the USA. In my books The American Enterprise Party Trilogy, a new world of three-party politics, brings us back to the constitutional form of government, using bipartisan debate for the individual rights to free enterprise, free speech, secure borders, right to protect those rights being represented by the party that best defends them.  This should be the objective for all parties, allowed to present resolution to problems ... not just lawmaking.  With enterprise offering jobs that give the American citizen the right to earn their prosperity based on quality of work, work ethics, patriotic values and sustained effort, to support the American enterprise that they choose. What is preventing this Wealth of Nation culture and ideology from happening is two control devices ... monopoly and monopsony.  Monopoly is where the seller of goods and services are controlled by one enterprise, (say Face Book), for the sake of profits and marginal quality. The other is Monopsony where the buyer of the goods and services are controlled by one entity (Government) for the sake of dictatorial control by excess taxation, and distribution of prosperity on unequal and inequitable shares. The balance, according to Adam Smith, is the quality of the capital and work combined in delivering a quality product every time, on time.  This is lassez-faire free market enterprise.  In America we have yet to attain the perfect balance between monetary capital and human capital values.  Typically, the capitalist starts and sustains the enterprise for profit, while the human capitalist (enterprising Americans) contributes ethical and patriotic work products for earning their share. That's in the perfect Adam Smith world of lassez-faire, where free markets and gross national product, (the greater good defined by laws of conduct), are delivered by competitive private entities for preventing a Monopoly and a Monopsony.  The governing entity isn’t to control that process, until it is destructive to the functioning of the free market sharing of prosperity, between the capitalist investor and socialist worker. If it over rules the competitive process, and dictates the flow of goods and services, using over reaching rules and regulations, it's a monopsony.  Our judicial, restraint of trade rules, prevents monopolies but do not prevent the growth of government. Where government rules the flow of goods and services, using excess taxation and deficit spending for infrastructure to solve environmental problems.  Funded by long term debt instruments, printing currency and borrowing from Medicare trust funds to finance noncompetitive goods.
