7 pillars of idiocy


 
feel like some up lift ?

try these 
burger good guy 
bedroom pumps 
 on for size
------------------------------
but fuck 
watch out for 
 the prance
of  korporate hooves on the roof 

they're cloven ya know  

==================


this really appealed to me

proves the sky box seats
have their boobs indeed

the author
iz publisher of the LA Times 
a one in a thousand type
for sure
and 
by merit one supposes

and yet
to be one of the quarter million
top cats 
whatz it reveal to ya

if these are points of light to you
these calls
to make the quality top fivers
 share more
in the up keep of our social enterprise


and yet 
some pointz
even 
reminded me of my own japes

but sly


like a santa 
but one thats  purveying

 a khristmas klub skam 

especially 
the  fucking bean brained 
trumped up consumer 
credit mobilier  deck shufffle   

and
the sweet smelling

tax
 consumption 
not wages
or
" hee haw hee haw"
   SAVINGS  

AND TAX PROGRESSIVELY

HEE HAW HEE HAW

 for a  universally
reswitched 

 tax and transfer

happiness   revival  

------------------------------------
1 Every baby a trust-fund baby.

 Just as the nation broadened 
the ownership of land in the 19th century 
through the Homestead Act,
 and 
of houses in the 20th century 
through the mortgage interest tax deduction,
 
expanding the ownership of financial assets 
should be the cause of the 21st century.

inaugurate a new era
 of universal capitalism in the United States
. 
2 Universal coverage for universal responsibility.

 Why not approach health insurance 
like car insurance by making it mandatory?

 Coupled with public subsidies
 for those who need them,

 mandatory insurance could cover all
 43 million uninsured Americans 

and 

lower the cost of coverage 
for those who are insured 

(by broadening the risk pool 
to include the young and healthy,
 the 18- to 34-year-olds 
who are the most likely to be uninsured), 

all while costing the government 
less than Kerry's plan,
 which is said 
to reach 27 million uninsured. 

3 Tax consumption, not work.

 You would never know it 
by listening to politicians, 
but
 more than 70%
 of American families 
pay more
 in payroll taxes
 than in any other tax.

 Yet no other tax 
does more
 to retard job creation 
or 
to reduce take-home pay,

 especially among low-income workers

By

 eliminating the payroll tax 


and replacing it 
with

 a progressive national consumption tax,

 we could create a lot more jobs 
and 
generate a lot more savings 

— thereby solving our two greatest
 economic problems at once. 

4 End all farm subsidies.

Our farm subsidies are vestiges of the past.
 They harm farmers
 and
 the environment,
 create agricultural gluts,
 retard global free trade,
hurt Third World countries
 and
 cost taxpayers $20 billion a year.

 By ending these subsidies,
 we could not only alleviate
 these various problems
 but free up the resources 
to, say
 endow every child from birth
 with financial assets
. 
While we're at it, 
let's end all forms 
of corporate welfare, 
which would free up
 an additional $50 billion
 for better uses. 

5 Family-friendly workplaces. 

Although the traditional family 
is no longer the norm, 
our workplaces have yet to adapt,
 penalizing those who need flexibility
 to fulfill their caregiving responsibilities, 
often by depriving them of good jobs 
and basic benefits. 
This two-tier labor market 
should be ended by making basic benefits
 citizen-based instead of 
employer-based 
and by giving all workers
 the flexibility of today's part-time workers
, along with the benefit security
 of full-time workers. 

6  A race to energy independence.

 It is a cliche that the United States 
should pursue energy independence
 with the same vigor
 that once fueled its race to space.
 Yet we lack a viable plan 
to light this new fire.
 The answer may lie
 in another recent revolution 
— the biotech one —
 in which a competition 
between private industry 
and a public consortium 
greatly accelerated 
he mapping of the human genome.
 Why not apply a similar model
 to energy efficiency 
by funding a high-profile 
contest between public and private parties? 

  7 Building a global middle class.

 At a time of a ballooning trade deficit 
and global overcapacity,
 the U.S. needs other countries
 to consume more and to export less.

 The best way to accomplish both
 is by exporting
the middle-class development model 

(such as 30-year mortgages) 

that created mass affluence 
in our own nation half a century ago.

 By recasting the globalization debate
 around the overarching goal 
of building a global middle class,
 we could promote 
prosperity and stability at home and abroad.

notes

(assumption :
politically 
can do all thiz )


1  who's kidding who here

a birth right endowment 
universalization of capitalists
every american
 may never be a king
but
 he can be a capitalist

tom paine had a scheme like this 

my wrinkle would be

" here moron 
its yours at sixteen
invest it as you will 
but you can only spend x% 
of it per annum
and borrow only y agin its value "

unlike land deals
the supply of "grant capital"
has no limit

if you can't actually spend it
or borrow against it

 its the illusion of  wealth 
what a  pure and simple social pacifier 

as to the x%
thats  limited by the size
and  growth
 rate of global 
excess productive  
capacity
and  of course
there are other competitors
 for that excess 
like uncle's budget deficit 


2 boils down to
a draft of funds
from job holding 
 young folks
 to 
help cover old folks
 health costs


the state has to net something 
 or else hows it going to work win win wise?

needs funds 
its not now getting 

by  putting everyone 
into the system
that isn't a squeezing at least some to pay in
kinda like
make run away dad pay stuff 

and the termite even sez flat out 

its uinsuredless
 joblings under 30 mostly
he's after

how many are they?

one hopes he's seen estimates with cred


notice no single payer 

nope keep

the rube goldberg profit farce just as it is

old growth capitalism after all

the fact he can see
how keeping
those hmo smoes 
is not blatant 
  corporate welfare
by other means 
is 
well
maybe 
why
 he's publishing the LA Times 
and say
 Pinky's not 


o kay single payer
would 
violate
"the interests"
and besides 
shotting profits in a barrel
on't it save some fuckin' white collar jobs

jobz for yobz

profitz for sloffitz  


and whoopee

notice 
theres no medicaid here

 we're cashin that  out 
    son 

details to come later 

smells like  welfare road to me 

 i guess
 you know 
the fate of cash outs 
by
now  

pinky's rule
better take it in kind
if you want to keep gettin it

whether its 
food stamps or rent stamps 
or health stamps 
its got legs

once the fuckers 
 cash out
once its in the general subsidy
as just so many dollars
then it becomes just so many more dollars then
those lazee mother fuckers deserve 

taxpayers know:
 cash goes for booze and freetos
not open heart repairs

and besides
free cash by entitlement only
 makes a job slacker out of ya 

 call a klinton about thiz
 if ya don't believe me 



3 end pay roll taxes

SHIT I'M FOR THAT!

raise the lost funds by 

progressive consumption tax

what no VAT system ?

whats wrong with the income tax?

well they each got a problem
this plan ain't got

vats are consumptiion taxes
 but not progressive
income taxes are prpgressive
 but they tax investments

so we 
go
one step better

the more you spend 
on consumption

the higher 
the marginal rate  you pay


this way work and invest it all no tax
the more you earn the more tax you avoid by investing

only problem
you want to incourage poor folks to save

so if theres to be a variable reward for investing

I prefer
A STEEPLY PROGRESSIVE INCOME TAX
WITH  a regressive 
 investment tax credit 
THAT ACTUAL AT LOWER BRACKETS
IS A MATCHING PLAN

GET MY MEANING
DOPE FIENDS ?

OH AND MINE
ONLY QUALIFIES IF ITS INVESTED
IN AN UNCLE SAM INVESTMENT FUND


then there's
NOT AN OPEN SEASON
FOR YER RIGHT SIDE IVY LEAGUE LEGAL WIZZARDS
TO INVENT 
ALL MANNER
 OF LOOP WHOLE NONSENSE
ONLY 
THE ONE IN A THOUSAND 
SUPER DUPER RICH MAN
CAN GET 
HIZ FUCKING
 BLOOD DRENCHED
EXPENDITIURES THRU
 
by the way
scouts

 the fact it enshrines
un examined
is the save the bucks shit


 savings is america's highest calling 

better then a donation to the church



 yet despite all the roto montain 
I'LL 
 give point three here a  pass

THE GREAT MAN'S
 
one fer three so far 



4 this is an old old dead horse

  and 20 billion

shit 70  billion
DON'T BEGIN TO COVER THE GROUND
 WALL STREET WELFARE ?

TRY A TRILLION AT LEAST

DON'T BELIEVE ME

WELL HERES ONE ITEM

 THE DEFENSE BUDGET 
500 BILLS

HOW MUCH OF THATZ
 FOR OVERSEAS COPRPORATE PURPOSES


300 BILLION ?

AND THE FISCAL DEFICIT
ANOTHER 400 BILLION
CAUSE COPRPORATIONS DON'T PAY TAXES ANY MORE
AND

AND 
SHALL I CONTINUE

WITH TRADE BARRIERS
AND T BOND RATES

AND THE GROUND RENT INTO MORTGAGE
INTEREST  HUSTLE
WHICH BY THE WAY THIS HEEP OF RERO ROCKETRY
CALLS A LITTLE MANS BONANZA  



as a birth endowment
on a new boen pop of 4 mills

 thats  under 20 k per  

but un spent and doubling every decade
ie a 7% cmpounder 
till 60 
would create a cohort of millionaires 
in fact 

$ 1,280,000- aires


5 go to sweden
this is probably there already
only they're trying to run away from it 

citizen benefits vs job benefits

problem
can't make the jobless life 
too kool for too many 

now the above
 progressive consumption tax 
is doing even more
heavy lifting 

so when the dust settles

i wonder
will it be domestic  wages
that  take up the added income 
now that taxes on work are removed  
or will corporate profits go up

how will the two way  pie get cut ?

pinky sez
once corporations 
are relieved of the bene burdens
they'll take the proceeds andrun like bandits 

whats your guess ?
 

 6 this is just sad 

  public v private 
  high tech
race to  new energy 

which by the way will be won
by back yard  fusion 
coming in  a hair ahead of 
fuel cell  hydrogen 


7
what can i say

the red nosed special 

 the greatest reindeer of all !



notice the credit crud 
here too

global endowments 
at birth perhaps

ina new universal equivalent
 paper gold 
issued by the united nations
