Our most privileged aristocracy, The World-Wide Bureaucracy, has bankrupted states, nations, and entire continents so they may preserve and increase their numbers, salaries, benefits, and pensions. As Localized Bureaucracies grow more international in scope, they are able to do far greater damage than could their more regional predecessors.
World-wide frauds are developed to provide excuses for more money to flow to the World-Wide Bureaucracy. Such frauds make themselves known by attempts to invent and solve Imaginary Problems. We are told to worry about ephemeral issues like Global Freezing/Warming, rising/falling sea levels, too-little/too-much rain, and the ever-present “chemical pollutants”.
Those Imaginary Problems are joined with other sprawling lies to make people afraid of even the most preposterous scams and who are, therefore, easier to tax. Inventing and pretending to solve such Imaginary Problems has been justifying looting on an international scale without the wartime disruption of production that has, in unfortunate periods, made some local and national bureaucrats unemployed.
Amid the economic destruction, there’s a clear solution that begins with defining the problem. When we look at what’s gone wrong with economies, we see two destructive cash flows.
One river of money is the forced flow of cash from people to their government. Imagine it as a very wide river. Some water (money) evaporates from it, is blown over land, and falls in the form of rain (income redistribution). As the river deepens (the bureaucracies become impossible to reduce), it carries a greater amount of water with less surface area, so the land (poor people) receives less water. The amount of money available for food stamps, Social “Security”, heating assistance, unemployment, and other benefits is continually reduced by the WWB’s increasing demands to add to their own numbers, salaries, benefits, and pensions.
A second, smaller river flows from consumers to those able to profit from automation. That river is made of the money saved by putting people out of work. It’s a smaller river, but it moves so fast that it eats away a lot of ground. Unemployment caused by automation makes more people dependent on the water that drops from the sky. The World-Wide Bureaucracy eagerly passes laws and regulations that prevent new businesses from being formed to provide jobs for the unemployed. That increases the number of people dependent on the various parts of the WWB.
While more citizens are made to rely on benefits provided the WWB praises itself for providing, the WWB is keeping more of the money that used to go to people for themselves. So, people are growing poorer.
The least violent way to solve the problem? Reduce expenditures of all bureaucracies by 5-7% per year. Those who do not wish to do so are in thrall to, or are afraid of, the World-Wide Bureaucracy.
