Unlimited Mattress!!!!!

Real Quick.....  If you understood my last two posts.

Do you know who has a mattress full of money with an unlimited supply?

You are right!!!!  It's the FED = (Federal Reserve Bank that is privately owned by rich dudes.)

Remember the story of the guy who went to California and bought up all the shovels. (He limited supply.)
He then sold the shovels for a very high price to the hopeful miners and ended up being a millionaire?)  Was that fair?  Was it fair to the miners? ....... You answer.

Back to the FED -- (I'm FED up.)

The FED steals money any time it wants.  All it has to do is print more money.  A nickel could buy a candy bar when I was a kid.  Now you have to pay at least $1.00 for a candy bar.  Thanks to the Fed printing money,  the nickels I saved back then are practically worthless.

So, the controllers of our money dictates and controls our lives, our savings, supply, demand, and our economy at will. We have no recourse.... (Not even gold can escape this strategy.... Gold is a commodity, has gone up and down precipitously in the past and many people lost their shirts counting on it.)


Now, if we could tax the unlimited mattress (privately owned) according to the rules laid out in my two previous posts, we might be able to put "money" back doing what it is supposed to do... move and provide jobs.

Do I Live in a World Full of PinHeads?

I'm watching the NEWS and the topic of the day is about
"TAXING THE RICH"

The Rich DO NOT PAY TAXES!!!!!!!!
(See my previous post for explanation.)

Since I'm also a pinhead, I assumed everyone would be able to think logically enough to expand on my previous concept.  Especially since I (a fellow pinhead) can understand it.

Let's expand on the concept of ECONOMY = MOVEMENT of MONEY. (Explained in my previous post.)

1. Time spent well, time wasted.
   
   A lot of time and money is spent on "Escapism".  Yes, people need to "decompress", but not 4 hours a day. 
   
   Money and time spent on escaping from reality is the same as opening the windows in the dead of winter... the only result is higher fuel bills.
   
   Complex government regulations are the same. They waste valuable time and resources because there are no products produced that provide value to anyone... just aggravation and fear..
   
   
2. Too much money is in the control of too few people. (No, not communist here.)
   
   There are super wealthy individuals, organizations and countries that have an excess of IDLE money. This idle money is used to leverage markets by  buying up surplus to get a higher profit on artificially rarified supply.  Taxing IDLE money would make it more profitable for these control freaks to put their idle money into investments that cause money to move. Only moving money creates more wealth.
   
   
3. Rich is not necessarily Evil.
   
   Just because a person is rich doesn't mean that this "rich" person is doing anything wrong.  Investments that provide capital to build more "money movers" is a good thing.
   
   
4. Stupid investments.
   
   Mistakes like making an Edsel when everyone wants Volkswagens is a waste of economy (money). Solyndra anyone?
   
   
5. Planned Obsolescence:
   
   Items made to fail to force consumers to buy new builds more poverty.
   
   Cash for Clunkers made used cars much more expensive for those unable to afford a new car. Working poor cannot afford new cars.
   Yet, the working poor are the ones that build items that provide value.
   
   * Safety considerations can logically force obsolescence.
   
   * Poor is a relative term. 
   (A friend of mine complained of making ONLY $25/hr back in the 60's.  He felt poor when the average wage was $6.25/hr where I lived.
   
   
6. Needs, then Wants
   
   Our main social structure must provide for the needs of all.
   Needs = food, shelter
   Wants help make life more pleasant.
   
   Focus should be spent on making needs less expensive so more money can be spent on wants
   .
7. Diversity
   
   New technology and new products would be very difficult to discover if we all thought the same way.
   
   
   
   
   Seen on Lib Wailing Wall...
   "We need more rich to suck money from"
   
   
   

An Exercise in Upside Down Thinking

 Let's Tax Savings

(Savings is defined as money that does not flow and assets that do not aid in the flow of money.. Savings just sits there.)

---- Everyone should know by now that ALL TAXES ARE PAID BY THE PURCHASER -----
(For those of you that don't know this, I'll explain.. All items sold has a "cost of doing business" added to the purchase price. The cost of doing business includes corporate taxes.)

Money in a mattress does no one any good except for the "owner" who sleeps on it feeling secure.

Our current tax system taxes the flow of money.  Taxing the flow of money  slows down the economy.

Let's think about doing something completely different... Let's tax all money and assets that do not promote the FLOW of money.

I'm not suggesting going whole hog at this... there has to be some savings, but how much?
I suggest a percentage threshold, below which savings and idle assets are not taxed; above which is taxed.

Let's assume there is an optimum balance between the amount of money in "savings" and the amount of money that is flowing (being spent).  If the right ratio of savings versus spending was found, a dollar would remain a dollar: no inflation, no deflation. Everything owned, both savings and money promoting assets could be passed on to heirs without any devastating results.

The optimum process would grow both sides of the equation.  Savings would grow as the economy grows.

Of course, this plan has all the trappings of complicating itself like our current tax code. But the change would promote the economy instead of  hinder it.

Who Votes?

Just watched the S. Carolina Republican Debates and listened to all the high minded logic that makes sense to me.  BUT...........

Who will do the electing?

Those who don't know who they are electing... plain and simple.

The largest majority of people who vote have no clue as to who they are voting for.

Their vote is based on.......

• He/She's COOL!
• "Gut Feel", 
• "Who do I Like?"
• "Who's Face do I want to see for the next four years?"
• "What's in it for ME?"
• "If my favorite celebrity, rock star, likes this candidate, I'll like him/her, too."
• My Church group told me to vote for.....
• "Who will make me feel SAFE"
• My friend is voting for.....

Nuff said.

Obesity Musings

Several pieces of trivia I've learned over the years seems to gel into an idea of why our obesity rate is high in the U.S. and other countries.

Here are the pieces:

• Hot dogs and Twinkies do not rot in landfills.
• McDonalds hamburgers don't rot.. according to two sources: radio program, conversation with friend.
• When cows are in the feed lot prior to slaughtering, they are fed corn which the cows cannot digest properly.  I was told their stomachs would perforate unless they are fed antibiotics.
• Antibiotics kill friendly bacteria in our intestines and a recent study associates antibiotics with obesity.

So, is it the bacteria in our intestines responsible for obesity?  Seems like the evidence is building up.

Now I have to see if there are any studies done on the bacterial mix in the intestines from different cultures, especially those cultures that do not have an obesity problem.

And, I'm wondering if the antibiotic resistant bacteria are killed by the two glasses of wine recommended by doctors for men, one for women?


Just thoughts,

Cain's Naughtiness

"Judge Not, Lest Ye Be Judged"

Do you know of any human on earth who has not sinned (Besides Jesus Christ)?

I don't anyone who is perfect. I KNOW I'm not. 

Let's face it.  All of us have done things we regret and it is very hard to fess up to them.  

I don't care if Herman Cain is innocent or guilty.  Herman is a human just like the rest of us.  We all make mistakes, there are plenty of times when we wanted to say one thing and another thing came out of our mouths.

These mistakes are called "life". 

I remember a time when I wanted to help someone.  I wanted to forewarn this person about rumors being spread (unjustly) about a mistake this person was supposed to have made.  I thought it would help this person deal with the situation if forewarned before things blew up into madness.

When I did this, this person heard something completely different and thought I was accusing him/her of making a mistake.  I tried to explain, but communication didn't occur.  The SHOCK of the unexpected blocked this person from hearing me trying to explain what I said and that I only wanted to help.

So, what happened from my effort to help?  I was reported to upper management with a complaint and went through much of what Mr. Cain went through.  It was a nightmare that came from trying to help someone out.

Now, I see Mr. Cain going through the same thing.  It is not fun, it has you second guessing yourself constantly asking yourself questions like "What did I do?", "How could I have said this better?",  "Am I insane?, "Do I have a double personality?" "What was heard?"

I've come to the conclusion that what we see and hear is what we expect to see and hear.  So if I said the water is red, the person who heard me would swear I said the water was blue.

There's another thing that bugs me.  Men are supposed to be perfect.  How can any man be perfect with a ton of testosterone floating through his blood?  IF Mr. Cain had a weak moment, MORE POWER TO HIM.  It would only attest to the fact that he is A MAN!  Much better than having a wimp running things.

Now the other side... WOMEN. 

Did you ever read the book "Men Are From Mars, Women from Venus"?

This book explains that men and women think different. That's why the battle of the sexes.

One thing that women have over men is that they are much better communicators than men.

Men just plod along trying to get their point across.  (Relative to women who can talk your head off.)

Let's face it... we all make mistakes, some are embarrassing and we learn from them. Our mistakes help us build our character and we are much less likely to make the same mistake again.

Coming from a man's perspective, if a man propositioned a girl, she should be flattered and can deny easily. No problem. 

Going berzerk at being propositioned to says to me there's a mental disorder there.  We are all adults and adults can understand the underlying nature of sexual attraction.  Gosh, if we didn't have sexual attraction we'd die out as a species. The 7 billion people in this world attests to the fact that sexual attraction exists. 

So, all you muckrakers out there. You aren't doing yourself any good.  

If your are right about the allegations against Mr. Cain,  you are just verifying the fact that Mr. Cain is a MAN, who, like most men, make human mistakes once in a while.

If you're wrong, you are no better than a malicious gossiper.

I believe I mentioned in an earlier post that our memory is not perfect. Memories change over the years much like the story that's passed on from one person to another.

How can anyone relate something that has happened over 6 years ago with absolute accuracy?  Lawyers understand this, judges understand this.  Witnesses have shown over and over again that they aren't reliable because they can only remember what the perceived and their perception could be totally wrong!

Let's focus on the point that Mr. Cain has figured out how to help us all out.  His 9-9-9 plan is robust.  You can tell by his lead in getting the other candidates to come up with a knock-off of his plan.  

What Mr. Cain calculated was an optimum.  Look at the other proposals... 23%????  

Any number greater than 9 in any of these other proposals indicates to me that the "LESS THAN OPTIMUM" is being promoted for "SPECIAL INTEREST ADVANTAGE"  

Follow the money and see how the other proposals leave in chances to do an end run around the best plan available.  Numbers don't lie.  Herman Cain knows that.

I like Heramn Cain's Dynamic Analysis

Herman Cain Cannot Lie

I like Herman Cain's Process

I've worked in a lab and spent many hours trying to analyze, mathematically model, and optimize formulas for consumer products.  During my years of learning, I discovered dynamic analysis and learned that it was very effective in finding the best solution to "multivariate" problems.

When I heard Herman Cain mention that he is a mathematician and uses dynamic analysis, I knew

he was going to be a winner.  Math cannot lie.  Herman Cain knows this.

Enjoy this video I put together. It explains how dynamic analysis can fix our country.
