Numbers

I don't like the use of numbers written out instead of numerals. It's easier to find numerals when skimming, so I'd like to always use numerals, except maybe the number one written out if it's the first word in a new sentence. Hillmon7500 (talk) 04:49, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Talk:Democracy. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Saddhiyama (talk) 22:12, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

I'm sorry. Is this okay to add? "USA is not a democracy" Lundberg

Ferdinand Lundberg said in “The Rich & the Super-Rich” (1968) the USA has never been a democracy [majority rule]; they’ve always had an “oligarchic rule, usually of a rather low order… it is an exact statement of the case… It is a parasitical oligarchy…” One can only get rich by favorable circumstances; corporations pay no taxes, it's paid for by raising prices of products; profit is before human life and health; fines on corporations are trivial for doing very bad things; marriage between the wealthy concentrates wealth into fewer and fewer hands; price fixing by corporations; the rich pay small fines for crimes; most corporations were started by doing something illegal or started soon after; welfare is quite inadequate; charade about monopoly; 70% of Americans are poor; upper class crime steals more than all poor criminals; medicine is a luxury for the majority which few can afford; large companies steal ideas from the poor; most rich people are heirs (often quite stupid) would make terrible employees; law enforcers commit crimes too; most of USA'a early fortune builders were lightly educated, even dropouts; corporations run government; most taxes are paid by the non-propertied; people fear that Social Security and welfare might make most people lazy but not the rich heirs; corporations become larger through cannibalistic mergers; war means peace, peace means war; the wealth of corporate power is 100%; if one business fails it causes an endless string of failures… World War 1 was produced by rich industrial tycoons, American and foreign, from far out in left field; for the wealthy execs that's paid for by taxing the poor, the rich pay no taxes; Foundations and Trusts were set up for the rich to keep their wealth, without paying taxes; corporations cannot fail due to bail-outs; taxation is a swindle & house of horrors; Capitalism produced Communism (so doesn’t that mean that Capitalists actually killed all the people they say Communists killed?).....and says lots more… Hillmon7500 (talk) 15:43, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

• Hillmon7500, the purpose of article talkpages isn't to discuss the subject in general (still less, in the case of an article like Democracy, to discuss whether or not a particular nation is a democracy) but to discuss improvements to the article. Please note the template at the top of the page, especially the bolded sentence "This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject." Bishonen | talk 15:54, 21 April 2014 (UTC).

Capitalism and automation

Good luck in your effort on incorporating the Rifkin material into the article. Seems to me the elimination of all work would result in a lot of people looking for non-existent jobs, not having any money, and they'd have too much time on their hands. Egad, they'd spend their time editing Wikipedia! We'd get 4.5 billion articles instead of the present 4.5 million. Edit wars would become rampant as every editor sought to have their version of particular pages as the current page. But then they'd get tired of of the electronic battles and go back to farming. So, just like 200 years ago, everybody would have a productive job (like when the majority of the population worked the land). Damn automation! As we read in History of agriculture in the United States, it serves to eliminate jobs. Please be careful, Hillmon, the butterfly effect of your edit may accelerate the rolling automation ball. Also, besides avoiding the impending catastrophe/rebirth of the Garden of Eden, be sure to follow WP:SUMMARYSTYLE and WP:CONTEXTMATTERS. You've got a tough challenge ahead of you, so enjoy. – S.

Hillmon, your POV is showing through with this comment. Please keep in mind that article talk pages are for discussions on how to improve the article. They are not soapboxes for complaining about the topic in general. I suggest you go through the NPOV Tutorial. Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 15:54, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
