Amazing how people simply can't do the numbers.
First of all, taxing the rich more will not work because there are not enough of them. Taxing the poor more won't work very well either because if you are single and working a good job on the books these days you are already so fucked that the light from fucked takes 11 minutes to reach you. You should see some of the rates I've paid and you know, maybe it's not all that much but no healthcare, driving on fucked up roads that wrecks my cars without even hitting something, traffic jams, Can't go to a bunch of different countries because they hate us, They do not properly regulate food or drugs and legal drugs kill more people than illegal drugs, and the food is full of poison and devoid of nutrients which means you are going to get sick and lose all your shit. No regulations on banks, or most industry, but you got liquor control so if I work second shift I can't go to the br on the way home, ad couldn't anyway because they turned DUI laws, which are pretty much a good thing, into revenue generators instead of anything really in the public interest. (for example, why do they want to test you for pot after drinking and driving ?, go fuck themself)
But I digress no more, don't want to turn it into a rant. (I know, shaddap)
Another thing people seem not to grasp is the limits of the powers of the branches of government. If you think Trump can simply direct the mint to print you are mistaken. I know part of what got JFK killed was wanting a parallel, well backed currency and did it by EO (11011 I think) but congress controls the fed, NOT the President.
And they are already printing tons of money, but not literally. This quantitative easing is not having as much of a deleterious effect on the value partly because not that many people know about it. Especially those with money in the stock market, unless they do know and are soaking it up. While that is highly possible they better know the day before it is going to stop and get out or the will lose their ass.
And without it, half of the private retirement would be shut down.
Without oil subsidies they might actually lose money. Tax is more than profit on each gallon of gasoline. If you keep that down, since the tax is not a percentage of the cost but a per gallon tax, the more they sell the more the government gets. The government gets that money producing nothing, so in technically if people drove less because gas is too expensive, the government would lose more than the oil companies.
This has al been though out and there are no easy answers. Republicans want to cut spending for the People, all but the military and a few friends, and the democrats want more taxes, but have no plans whatsoever to retire the debt, they want to spend it to buy vote. Sickening, but sides.
And it doesn't matter anymore, it is already too late. We can't do what Iceland and Hungary did because it is simply too damn far out of control. I advocate a controlled meltdown. Have to default on some of it. Hell, the city of Cleveland defaulted ad I didn't see the guys from Cleveland trust (Citibank) Rolling the desks and chairs out of the offices at city hall. I didn't see race riots because o not having any cops, all layed of. I saw nothing o the sort.
What's ore is nothing is going to happen because of the power of the banks. Now that I mentioned it, the bank did things to encourage the default to place pressure on the city government to sell CPP, the city owed power plant, to CEI, the privately owned competitor. (Dennis Kuchinich was instrumental in stopping that) Yeah well that is business. In the end there will only be one company - the "We Say So" corporation. The courts are of no help, the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper went to court to get the right to buy the Cleveland press, its only major competitor with the promise they would not shut it down. They shut it down as soon as the ink was dry on the paperwork.
And a half trillion defense budget but every REAL attack on this country has succeeded. That is an offense budget. The ones they stop are generally when they themselves entrap some young dumb and full of cum rebel type with zero common sense.
Also realize a few other things, so many people work for the government now that when they make cuts, unemployment goes up significantly. And if they cut contracts to domestic companies it gets even worse.
It has gotten out of hand. There should have been a revolt when they called in the gold back in 193whatever. That was an act of war against the People and the People should not have put up with it. But they did. And now it is really too late.
Any supposed solution you can come up with, with proper research will be shot down as either ineffective or unfeasible. Try me. Not to be a party pooper really, but really the best thing to do is take the ride down and try to cushion your fall.
Get precious metals, water, weapons, staple foods like learn how to salt and smoke meat. Hook up with some farmers raising cattle or whatever and make a deal with them. A generator. Remember how the prices of them went up right before the year 2000 ? Hell not long a ago I saw I think a 5 KW for like $600. And don't forget fuel for it. Get a diesel because you can run them on alot of different things. We got two fridges and two deepfreezes here, 5 KW would run them just fine plus a few lights.
Tell y'all what, I have been and and I see how these rich assholes are. The way I see it, there are three types of math. Democrat math, republican math and real math. Real math is what we have to use to figure out if we can afford something. The other two, well, one side says there will be an ice age in a few years and the other side says Florida will be gone in a few years. The ultimate solution - don't move to Florida. Other than that, do whatever. It doesn't matter.
