Time is running out and therefore debate has become a luxury as well as a form of entertainment designed to divert our attention from doing what has to be done. Today many Americans are close to the breaking point economically with stagflation staggering the middle class and those already in poverty. The future is bleak. Housing costs have spiked to levels beyond what most people can afford. All necessities, including food and utilities have seen a 30% to 50% price increase since 2020, and inflation continues unabated. Wages are stagnant or minimally rising. Profit margins for businesses are shrinking which means the corporate bankruptcies are only beginning, and the long forecasted economic crash isn’t far off. The only way out is to make dramatic and drastic changes in the ways our government and society operate. These are the drastic overhauls necessary to begin to turn things around:
1: END THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX, THE DERIVATIVE STATE TAXES, AND PROPERTY TAXES FOR THE 99%: The first step would be to end income taxes for individuals and small business owners outside the 1%(those with incomes over $800,000 a year). Income taxes were not conceived to be permanent. The income tax started in 1913 with a small 1% rate on net personal income over $3,000, and a 6% surtax on incomes above $500,000 (the one percenters at that time). That tax has now ballooned into a 15% to 20% monstrosity and when you add in state and local taxes, the aggregate is crushing middle and lower class buying power. This situation also allows the FedGov to balloon its budgets, wasting our money on bogus, often unconstitutional schemes while sapping our entrepreneurial spirits and lessening our freedoms. There is no reason for the income tax to exist other than to feed our slave masters at the Federal Reserve, bankrupting us bit by bit. How would the GovMint pay for services and national security? As it does now by printing money out of thin air, while making you think taxes are doing the job. They gaslight you by pretending to fight over the contents and size of the budget then putting up a show over “continuing resolutions”. They keep threatening to reduce social security payments soon when all they have to do is print the money needed. Up until 1913, tariffs on foreign trade were the main source of money for the GovMint. Why not go back to doing that? It could be tinkered with and tailored until the right formula was found though it is possible that unknown agreements among nations has ended the very concept of “foreign products!”
Meanwhile, property taxes are going through the roof in good part for the new schools and teachers for the hordes of migrants that by law we are required to educate (rather indoctrinate) them to be good little socialists in our public schools. BlackRock and its ilk are buying up the distressed and underwater mortgages and properties that families can’t afford anymore where they’re not drowning the inhabitants on land containing valuable minerals like lithium. They then construct tacky cookie cutter housing that look like institutions or prisons for the newly created peons and illegals to rent, a matter that drives up such costs while the moneyed “landlords” make out on like the bandits they are when the GovMint provides subsidies to augment the rents they receive from the illegals! The result of these machinations is that these “landlords” make more moolah from the illegals than they would from the suffering natives, so they rent to the illegals adding to the homelessness of the natives. Meanwhile, general inflation and the high interest rates are also driving our coterie of natives out of house and home. Fooling around and trying to fix rates and dampen inflation is complicated and controversial, but property taxes could be ended tomorrow for the 99% without sorrow – except for those getting the money from those taxes. To fill the gap, a fair sales tax should be more than sufficient. A slightly higher sales tax would encourage thrift, care and caution in purchasing goods and services in general, discourage indiscriminate buying, and reduce debt burdens. (Post Scriptum: Of course, none of this takes into account the present legal determination by the various government, local and state, to stop considering shoplifting and even looting a crime. Of course, when you shoplift and loot, you don’t pay sales tax! Gee!)
2: REMOVE ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM THE US: (The writer apologizes to his readers for presenting this obvious truth as if you didn’t know it already, but we’re trying to stick to a program here!) The illegals need to go to stop the drain on our funds and natural resources, reduce welfare payments drastically and apply them where really justified, slow down the great replacement significantly, greatly reduce urban sprawl and loss of farmland, and reduce pollution of the environment and stop the tremendous increase in the (especially violent) crime rate. The figures on the numbers of illegals now ensconced in their new digs fluctuate from the 11 million figure that has been floating around for ages to possibly over 50 million, depending on who is doing the figuring and propagandizing and what their biases are. They are taking millions of homes off the market that should go to our own citizens, causing hospitals to shut down because they get free emergency and routine medical care, and we don’t have enough medical staff to care for them. This just adds to the severity of the shortage of nurses we already have. Foreigners are taking all the new full and part time job opportunities that arise. As a matter of fact, native workers have lost more jobs than they have gained in recent years, and that trend began long before the Covidiocy. We would then not have the excuse that we don’t have the funds to help victims of natural disasters, such as was the case with Hurricane Helene.
3: REVITALIZING AMERICA’S WORKER BASE AND SMALL BUSINESS BASE: The numbers and quality of the workers engaged in the construction and similar trades is declining. America’s economy used to thrive due to the prevalence of informal apprenticeships and a lesser emphasis of getting college degrees, which are geared now to white collar vice blue collar jobs, so good paying technical and blue-collar jobs are going begging. George Washington and Ben Franklin were apprentices at one point in their lives. We need to bring this tradition back. Specifically, we need apprenticeships in business operations, medicine, manufacturing, engineering, equipment repair, construction, plumbing and electric work and in the computer and software fields. The US has a self-sufficiency problem that must be addressed immediately lest we are forced to depend on foreigners to solve all our practical problems. Imagine contacting Pooh Bah in India for help with fixing your leaky faucet instead of a computer glitch.
The above are fundamental actions I think we can agree on without the excessive arguing and debating, something frequently – and often intentionally – leads to inaction. We must conceive of practical ways to accomplish these objectives. Once we Americans get the ball rolling, things will start turning around.
