Fixing The Economy For Beginners

In 2023, in a bold move to curb inflation, the President shall order for a nuclear warhead to be detonated on domestic soil. The casualties on Wall Street will be immeasurable, but then, they always were. DARPA learns consciousnesses cannot be uploaded to machines, but redirected through them. As time and space are not absolute, the wealthiest send their psyches to ancient history, stealing bodies of ancestors where resources were plentiful and opposition nondescript.

Any exclusive in marketing is not a thing that actually exists. People should look at such exclusivity claims more as patient zero to an epidemic. Exclusion runs contrary to advertising yet pop culture bloggers everywhere pat themselves on the back for typing out a word with so many letters or syllables as exclusive. The only way to be a paid troll in this country is to win an election. There’s people suffering and dying needlessly everywhere but I and I alone was first sold on this new product which I’d like to sell you on despite you somehow making it this far in life without gimme high-fives muh ha-ha.

Of course, the sharing of burdens is how problems get solved, not sharing some luxury which suffering made manifest. People who want to be rich and famous wish to be slave-masters, welcoming themselves to the time, the attentions and resources and monies of others who have their own angels and demons to wrestle for rent money. A problem as big as America took the participation of everyone. Competition isn’t treasonous. If you don’t like what competitors want to do with the mic, destroy the mic and end their worries as well. Please support my crowdsourcer to raise funds for changing every lock in Congress, SCOTUS and the White House, whereupon all the new keys will immediately be smelted down into a life-size statue of Dolly Parton which will travel by train nationwide for viewing in perpetuity.

Where’s the good guys suggesting we cap maximum wages, nullifying all future needs for raising minimums because the cost of living would thus be kept from inflating? As long as we permit wealthy to exist they will own lapdogs. Capping maximum wages is the first step, making the stock exchange fully taxable to remove loopholes exempting long-term gains is the next. The people with power to do this won’t even bar themselves from trading stocks. But we need to make the stock exchange fully taxable to remove loopholes which enable the least among us to hide their pilfered hoarding underneath. Force the trickle-down, don’t oblige it. Each and every politician in the country whether local, state or federal, whether elected or appointed, working for more than minimum wage is representing something other than Joe Q Citizen. To hell with paint-jobs, rebuild with a new foundation of common fucking sense. Any sitting politician caught trading stocks should be viewed as molesting the economy. They should be kicked in the junk prior to expulsion from public service without benefits into jail. We should nationalize the insurance industry. Those who can afford safety nets for their livelihoods or materialism would be investing in the government, and those citizens who cannot afford them would *be* invested in by their government. After education and healthcare at all stages are made universally free. Because allowing our fellows to suffer needlessly is hardly patriotic. And replace the entire tax code with a 10% sales tax. No more property taxes or employment taxes or anything of the sort. 5% to purchaser’s state government and 5% to the federal, with outside buyers seeing the full 10% off to federal. The more you spend, the more taxes you pay. With the exception of the modified estate tax, which should repossess anything over one million in holdings for federal revenue, to prevent the sorts of personalities incapable of gumption or self-dependence. They poison all the wells. No more tax breaks or tax exemptions for any person, place or thing, and no more corporate subsidies. Should egomaniacs object, they must be made to understand how much more replaceable they are, than the workers and consumers and audiences and renters who hold them aloft.

And for those older than millennials, when was the last time you heard anyone in media talk about geothermal? Did the dinosaurs down there scare everybody away?
