Cutting Tax

Tax cuts work. They raise revenue, at least of some. Those that argue that tax cuts raise the US (or any other) economy are correct, or at least we should pretend they are. Next time you are asked about tax cuts, say you are in favor. In fact begin advocating that tax cuts should be given to every man woman and child in the US (or any other country). This time, begin at the bottom of the tax ladder. Reduce taxes beginning with the lowest tax rate, lowering it to zero. If the economy doesn’t revive or achieve, then move up a ladder, lowering the taxes, again to zero if necessary. Continue this until we have achieved the necessary growth, or the theorists have shut up, or cried out that that isn’t what they meant. Of course it is what they meant, just not whom they meant.

Pollution Solution Too Late

How long do we have?

The question asked by many in ’08. The honest answer is the optimists broken glass. None. Even though we are not in the six month club, we have treated this problem, this planet as an economic problem for so many years, so many generations of consumers, that we may as well just let economics take it’s time. Let the dollar decree how many of your children live, and how well they live… It won’t matter now.

It’s all over baby green.

Put this another way. When someone tells you the market will create the solution, ask why the market hasn’t already created the solution. Isn’t the market mechanism, and it’s academic acolytes the mainline cause, rather than the cure?

To Clarify It…

Clearly the market fundamentals underlying energy haven’t changed..so says a trader on the exchange floor

while continuing with:

so it, I mean, the run up, sorta, in price is clearly a matter of speculators..

Got that? The price of oil isn’t because of the market, at least not the free market. It is because of speculators. The speculator market. Yah, oh wait, isn’t price always a speculation, a trimming, growing, vital thing. The thing that is the heart of capitalism. Und spekulation is kapital. Otherwise it is set, fixed, static, without changing information, without risk, boring to both bear and bull. Or is that all just so much Bullshit to keep you away from my Lamborghini, my sacred cow is your holy cow.

To Be Clear, A Game Is Always A Game, Until You Fool Yourself.
