Capitalism is a Victim of ID Theft

Wall Street hijacked the terms and tools of capitalism
to decapitalize businesses and decapitate jobs:
Decapitalism--Economic Bloodshed.

In principal, capitalism means rewarding the individual for using his head (capita) to solve time-wasting problems. The time saved or created is the profit of using one's head which takes one forward to a problem-freer existence: profit ... pro esse ... forward existence. Regardless of the current commercial symbols of problem-solving time (currency) the true, existential profit is the time created or saved in one's actions ... on or off the job.

For optimal problem-solving for a world progressing from less to more freedom and happiness, profit-sharing needs to be an economic and political reality. The timely profits need be shared equally between the solvers and sufferers. If the solver is not paid, problems will not be solved. If the sufferer is price-gouged, he will choose to live with the problems. Optimal profit-sharing is the Golden Mean between the extremes: fifty-fifty.

Problem-solving is timely profits-making. If a worker is robbed on his way home with his wages in his pocket, he has suffered profit-taking. A bank robber is a profit-taker of many savers' profits--a worker's money in excess of one's production costs daily With 401ks, the biggest bank robbery in history, corrupt, incompetent politicians have metastasised systemic profit-taking from wage-earners, the basic creators of wealth, the basic creators of timely problem-solutions.

Because pride and proud have the same Latin root of profit (pro esse), on the moral level a profit-taker cannot be proud and can only have false pride.

The Morality of More Time on the level of economics should be the bedrock of all political decisions. It is not.  

Corrupt profit-taking is the norm. Re-election-addicted habitual politicans legislate private laws--privileges--that allow legal theft. You and they know it is morally wrong when the action is qualified by "And, it's is legal." This is decapitalizing the many to over-advantage a few, that is, decapitalism for a few instead of capitalism per capita.

Existential capitalism, based on the morality of more time, is nowhere near the scene of the economic crimes that have destroyed the American Dream.

Timism offers a banquet of solutions, some old and some new, e.g., term limits, brainbees, and grassroots gerrymandering. Profit-sharing is needed more venues than corporate profits: taxation and loan refinancing.
