The subject of Organic Economics is reserved to the end of this entry to lead and encourage the reader, from generalized history, to current, into desiring real Organic Economics. (This post assumes the reader has a general knowledge of the political history of the United States of America as its lacking in citations. It’s all from my memories of life and history classes I’ve taken).
Also, this entry should in no way suggest I’m in favor of any kind of taxation. Organic Economics is the only moral system in my eyes and eschews involuntary taxation at all costs.
This blog entry is a consolidated edited version of a previous one removing my sarcasm and effluent opinions that detract from the seriousness of the economic calamity of VooDoo economics or rather, post Reagan income tax rates that Trump is still lowering and thereby steadily increasing the national debt. Today, through the infamy of fiat currency we spend all of our income tax revenue on the Military (MIC) and Defense contractors and then the government has to borrow money just so cover its operational costs.
The beginning of this blog entry is aimed at So-called Democratic Socialists who lust after the involuntary altruism of income taxation; in order to learn something about the business world before hitting the Big Red Easy Button of taxation by popular consensus; But I believe this is good information for anyone.
Conspiracy theorists say that the “Central Authority” the Federal Reserve, caused the Great Depression in order to effectuate greater controls over society itself. In any event, I do not consider an organization that can print and retract money supply, at will, beneficial to a society desiring anything close to an Organic Economic System.
Also, this part of my blog entry is dedicated to President Eisenhower and his wisdom to warn us of the dangers of the Military Industrial Complex.
With that said, a system that taxes income must also require a scary high tax rate. Key word, “Scary” (If you’re not a progressive, please Stop Laughing).
A tax system that taxes income (as long as we have to deal with one), must also include real choices and multiple tax deduction mechanisms which result in business owners being able to choose from a range of tax policies which can make the their overall taxes fair in a regressive income taxed based system, such as we have now. (There are, however, fairer ways to tax people).
For a happy income tax payer (if there will ever be one) must include choices that best benefits their particular types of needs. Ie. Big business, small business and start-ups, need different tax options. These benefits are for businesses and there employees, not for the needs of government or society at large.
All society needs in the current tax paradigm is a healthy velocity of money and the inflation it causes but regulated by tax policy itself and Not the inflation caused by controlling fiat money supply. (Ie. Arbitrarily adding or contracting money from the market in a faux attempt to control the uncontrollable).
It is the natural constant velocity of money and the inflation of both salaries and expenses caused by tax policy and deductions that eliminates the need for massive government programs of the welfare state.
With the encouragement of scary tax rates that offer real deductions, Businesses will avoid paying the government and pay their employees properly instead. The employees will then earn their own way out of welfare with pride, as the tax incentive is there to entice businesses to pay well. Not via a minimum wage but though the different tax policies they can choose, except the choice not to pay anyone, either the government nor their employees. Hence the need for scary high tax rates as I already stated.
I’m not going into business strategies to make money. My concern here is how taxation, and more importantly, how targeted deductions will benefit the economy and businesses alike. (Solely with regards to Forced taxation of income).
Due to the implementation of Income taxation, It takes a government willing to tax all businesses and high income earners heavily because they do not automatically grow their companies and expand solely because their wallets get fatter from not paying high taxes. They do serious market research and their reports never say..... if you raise salaries consistently, people will buy more of your products because they’ll then have the money to do so. They only expand when they see lots of people with money buying things in their stores.
Unless consumers have real disposable incomes, the elites will not have any reason to expand their companies to serve a non-existent customer. Hence the Voodoo and the current drive, caused by stagflation, to find more dystopian ways to provide a governmentally sponsored universal income, which is also regressive in nature.
Smart companies do, however create both the market and the products to satisfy that market. But that’s a side note.
The Voodoo Economics that we have today and that Trump wants to continue, results in a slowly shrinking economy, as the elite because of low taxes, hoard wealth causing consumers to band together and take it back through the power of consensus and misguided welfare taxation.
Giving Business owner’s a choice by creating competing economies through tax policy is the key to unlocking and unleashing a healthy velocity of money and healthy, semi-organic economy which takes people from welfare to a self sustainable income.
Formerly called Eisenhower Economics 101: Scary High Income Tax Rates combined with scary liberal and variable deductions, targeted at the three types of businesses discussed earlier, encourages tax free startups or reinvestment, growth and expansion or simply encouraging the behemoths of industry to hand out bonuses to get into a lower income tax bracket.
Variable tax policy and targeted deductions causes economic growth organically by giving business owners choices as to where their “Tax” Obligation lays.
Placing Higher “tax rates” on business owners while allowing deductions for self retooling, asset purchases and/or re-investments in their own business will either create jobs or higher salaries for the current employees. It will encourage owners to spend on expansion and grow; so as to grow equity rather than liquid wealth. (This tax structure encourages tax deductible spending and increases the velocity of money, which is good for the economy.).
Thus, creating tax deductions that cause growth based spending and investments on oneself and his employees to avoid paying the government is a good thing for America.
Here are the Choices:
If a business has a choice 1. Give bonuses often to its employees. And/Or 2. Retool its equipment being incentivized by a targeted deduction for reinvestment in a business which will also lower its tax burden. And/or 3. Expand and Hire more employees to operate the retooled business because spending the money is tax deductible and lowers its overall tax burden. Or 4. Pay the high tax rates and let the government provide the large infrastructure needed for large scale public works projects that benefit everyone.
These examples are Eisenhower Economics. Expand and Grow or pay a high income tax to the government to spend it for you to benefit you as well as everyone.
Reaganomics Or Voodoo Economics penned by Bush Sr. Or trickle down economics assumes people with great personal wealth automatically expand and grow to hire people but as we can see that hasn't really happened.
The current upward trending is a bubble and will burst just like it did at the end of Bush Jr.’s presidency. The cycles of boom and bust since Reagan took office are self evident. Also I think the market is up simply because we have a crony capitalist in office instead of the previous socialist which scares market. Period.
When Carter was president we had high inflation and high taxation but limited deductions caused by the New Deal progressives.
Johnson’s policies tried to tip the scales of racism but instead continued the racist policies of American Apartheid, providing the poor (predominantly black at the time) with regular slave like income. Also, Johnson’s regime funded the Korean & Vietnam wars, so heavily that by the time Nixon was elected, the treasury was so bankrupt we had to fully leave the gold standard and created the petrodollar by agreement with OPEC; causing a defacto loss of sovereignty to OPEC and the FED.
The businesses eventually revolted and resulted in implementing Reagan’s voodoo. But, back before then, single income homes were the norm. (Except for minorities). Now everyone has to work and rent out the spare room to enjoy the same life styles we had when Carter was in Office.
Today, however, we have legislated integration and affirmative action, but still have the legacy of the New Deal consumer creation machine, expanded to HMOs and further to HMO’s on Steroids known as Obamacare; and expanded wars to the Middle East, that we almost have no hope of getting back to sound tax policy and incentivized deductions to eliminate the need for the New Deal.
A look farther back when Eisenhower was president;!it was the hay-day of comfortable living. (We had scary high taxes, spawning tax shelters, but also fair and targeted deductions).
The key word though, of the voodoo, is trickle down. That slows the velocity of money to a trickle and we need it moving pretty quick to get the regular Joe into paying taxes rather than expecting to collect earned income credits.
Remember when Bush Jr. had the treasury give everyone an advance on their tax return? He was causing velocity to stimulate the Economy.
Remember when Obama changed the Tax Policy to temporarily allow a choice to take the full deduction of the cost of recently purchased business assets or choose the current way to depreciate them over time? That was targeted to stimulate the economy during the 2008-2014 recession.
VooDoo Economics with no regulatory controls recommended by Neocon think tanks places control of expanding the economy in an uncontrolled market rather than where it should be; on an intelligently designed semi-organic system that encourages self expansion and growth that organically Creates Jobs; But again, doing so requires a scary high income tax rate that exempts specifically this type of spending... growth and expansion creating jobs.
The current voodoo encourages taking on debt to expand a company because currently direct spending of un-mortgaged Capital on growth isn't deductible like it was under Eisenhower.
Eisenhower Economics VS Voodoo Economics. We have seen the results of both.
Scary High income tax rates with targeted deductions that stimulate growth using psychology rather than Wishful Voodoo; Voodoo which ends in the stagflation we saw happen to Bush causing businesses to lobby for even less taxation.
There are other regulatory factors which negatively affect the economy but none more-so than how taxation works against business expansion; which expand only when profitable to do so. Again, When large amounts of consumers have real disposable wealth they earned from their actual labor they cause organic Velocity; not the kind caused by government handouts which progressives have been so intent on creating since the year they created the HMO under Nixon.
The key of Eisenhower Economics is the psychology of limited choice and targeted deductions.
But this isn’t over.
Absolute Organic Economics assumes a de-centralized system with no organized controls nor any central authority controlling fiat currency (but instead leaving it up to the market to decide how or what to exchange with each other for goods and services), likening it to a living system evolving on its own through natural markets excluding all non organic controls and excluding all taxation; but that seems impossible in the current paradigm.
What we have today is a completely non organic system of economic controls sponsored by government.
How we get to an pure Organic System is the holy grail and requires pure fealty to the ideology of Absolute Morality; which is utter respect for other peoples’ lives, property and treasure and naturally excludes taxation.
But, if we have to live in a world that taxes it’s people’s income then a simple lesson of Eisenhower Economics must be brought back before we bankrupt ourselves and end up like Venezuela and the Historic Weimar Republic, when the oil supply gets cut off or they find another global reserve currency.
