The Popular Capitalist View, No. 16: Where Once Was Capitalism by Carl Peter Klapper
Time was when your family could make something or buy the somethings your neighbors made, hang a sign on the front of your house and enough neighbors and visitors would walk by and step into your mom-and-pop store that you could make a decent living being a “merchant”.

A key part of the Popular Capitalist program is to reduce the cost of living. A lower cost of providing the necessities puts the rudimentary task of paying the cost of sovereignty more easily within the reach of the political economies of regions with modest resources. This allows those political economies and thus most political economies to offer its citizens opportunities to reach beyond mere survival and build capital that will benefit their communities for years to come. Also, a lower cost of the living beyond survival makes those efforts at building capital more attainable.
Who Built This State? ~ Carl Peter Klapper
The workers built this state, the country,
Not the unions. Not some party.
Not some distant calling in the wind.
“Legalizing Sad and Sorry Marriage” ~ Carl Peter Klapper
And yet another law
And another law where the sun don’t shine
Where the lawyers oughtn’t be
About things the lawyering can’t fathom
As Jesse might say, Amen!
“A legislation of a misconception.”
Amen, brother! Amen, again!

Created by Those in Power
Those are the words that are missing
From the end of the phrase on the news.
Echo advertisement nestlings:
“A bad break has us chirping the blues.”

The Popular Capitalist View
In my last column, I discussed education through the filter of the perennial New Jersey political theme of property taxes. There I had slain the dragon, at least to my own satisfaction, so that I can return to the subject again without further acknowledgment of what remains a pressing issue for politicians who do not bother to read the Johnsonville Press despite my pointing them to it on numerous occasions. This column is therefore directed to those of us who find more to education than the uninteresting problem of how to pay for it.

The Rushing Never Fruitful ~ Carl Peter Klapper
The rushing never fruitful
In its speed from here to there
Makes there so much more distant
And this place never here…
