Corrupt government controls public education, which omits or skews the science of economics in order to keep labor cheap. Human poverty is ridiculous and if humans survive, they will laugh at us (and feel sorry for us) for tolerating it so long.
The correct science of economics has been known for a long time, but those in charge want to keep labor cheap. All taxes except on land ownership should be abolished. They are unbelievably stupid. Income tax? The government need to punish us for having an income? Commerce should be punished with taxation? Everything people like should be taxed and if we like it more, it should be taxed more? Objectivity eventually reveals that capitalism is not free enterprise, it's neo-feudalism.
Wages are minimal. Why would I pay someone more than necessary?
Don't confuse me for a leftist, I'm a single taxer (classical economist). I contend that all taxes should be abolished except on land ownership. I'm not a redistributionist, I believe in natural law.
Land (sleep) is a daily bio-necessity. We need equal access to it or we live on a plantation. Everything else is accessible if one has a place to sleep.
Monarchs only needed to own all the land for everyone to be their subjects.
Which creature born on this Earth has to fight and struggle for its first meal?
The corrupt establishment teaches us to blame ourselves and each other for social problems, but we are not to blame, the corrupt government is. It allows nature (land), our provider, to be monopolized by investors, forcing us to work most of our lives just for survival, just to pay investors rent for the land. It's a plantation, but they teach us we are free and that "the market" makes survival so expensive.
The norm is being born into a loving family in a bountiful ecosystem. We are brainwashed to blame nature instead of government for social problems. But corrupt government, not cruel nature, is responsible.
