Money Men in the Temple of the Status Quo

Money men know that all they have to do is give a liberal enough money and they'll eventually turn into a conservative.

This process also works at the same time in the reverse as well, of course. 

And a stable economy depends as much on the asymmetry the two must always retain in relation to each other, as always having the right proportion of both. But those proportions are not static, thanks to our technology, and are simply the result of the particular brands and versions of the "beliefs" we happen to have about the nature of money, property, and power. But those beliefs obviously need to be changed, which is the last thing anyone with money, property, or power, would want.   

It is not that these ideas are necessarily anathema to forming any truly moral society, although we often fail to see or understand the many valid arguments offered for why they may very well be, from people like P. J. Proudhon in "What is Property?" It is that the ideas we currently have of what money is, and how it should operate, needs a complete overhauling to reflect a concern for people more than profit, and then building a global economy that actually produces this result, instead of just producing an endless army of priests, politicians, and economists, who we all pay lavishly to tell us it will, because it has for them, even if it seems like it has only ever done so at our expense.  

For our distant ancestors, when we were still nomadic hunter-gatherers, that proportion was probably 50-50. That was pretty much the case in the opening scene of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, for example, until one of the monkey's transformed a bone into a weapon, shifting the proportion for stability to something like now requiring 2 or 3 to 1. As that monkey evolved into us, it developed the ability to create more tools, all of which start as ideas, and the most powerful of which tend to remain that way, like our ideas about money, gods, governments, and economics. 

With the rise of armies and city states, it shifted more to an 80-20 split, with the 20% being the wealthier class, and the 80% being the stratified lower classes. But when money became political power, as today it so clearly has, it produced a split that is now 99.9 to .1. And that's because the .1% have figured out how to make the 99.9% pay not only for the military and police that will be used agaisnt them if they ever question the status quo, but also for the political accomplices who facilitate the private theft of public funds, while lying to our faces every chance they get.
