"To love our neighbor as ourselves is such a truth for regulating human society, that by that alone one might determine all the cases in social morality."
- John Locke

Economic goal
Everyone would have enough resources (or steady income) to provides for current needs
Save for Future goals
Save for emergencies
And save for retirement
When this is achieved
There would be no need for government assistance of any kind

Deep Thought
Just because I want something,
doesn't mean it's a good idea

There's more to this world...
You can criticize corporations and capitalism without being for bigger government
There is such a phenomenon as a person who doesn't like big business or big government
I'm the type who thinks big business controls big government
They create big government
Big business create laws that stifle competition from smaller businesses, defraud their consumers, and exploit their workers
More government is not a solution to poverty and it doesn't create prosperity
Also, unfettered corporations are not a solution to poverty and they create their own prosperity at the expense of others.
Big government is tyrannical, guilty of force, fraud, waste, and abuse.
So are big corporations
From my perspective, private industry holds the power and government is their tool to enforce their will on the people.
There is not a law or regulation in existence that private industry didn't create or allow
Laws that seem to benefit the worker or consumer are only there to keep us placated. Only there to prevent us from rebelling.
As long as there is a lawmaking body in a society that can enforce rules upon others, private enterprise will control that lawmaking body
If you want a true free market,
you either have to get rid of laws and the power to enforce them completely, since there is no way to create a law that has no economic impact
Which is why we've never had a free market in the USA
Or you have to create a government that derives its Powers from the informed consent of all individuals.
No one would have to follow a law they didn't agree to, nor would they have to fund it.
If a law they did not consent to some how affects their life, they have means to circumvent that law.
I denounce all hierarchical structures.
And structures that do not operate by informed consent of all parties involved
