Not everyone realizes how Socialism penalizes an up statistic. Take health
taxes.
If an average man adds up what he pays the government he will find his
visits to
medicos are very expensive. The one who benefits is only the chronically
ill, whose
way is paid by the healthy. So the chronically ill (down statistic) are
rewarded with
care paid for by penalties on the healthy (up statistic).
In income tax, the more a worker makes the more hours of his work week
are
taxed away from him. Eventually he is no longer working for his reward. He
is working
for no pay. If he got up to ?50 a week the proportion of his pay (penalty)
might go as
high as half. Therefore people tend to refuse higher pay (up statistics) as
it has a
penalty that is too great. On the other hand a totally indigent non-working
person is
paid well just to loaf. The up statistic person cannot hire any small
services to help his
own prosperity as he is already paying it via the government to somebody
who doesn't
work.
Socialisms pay people not to grow crops no matter how many are starving.
Get it?
So the law holds.
Charity is charity. It benefits the donor, giving him a sense of
superiority and
status. It is a liability to the receiver but he accepts it as he must and
vows (if he has
any pride) to cease being poor and get to work.
Charity cannot be enforced by law and arrest for then it is extortion
and not
charity.
And get no idea that I beat any drum for capitalism. That too is old-old-
old hat.
Capitalism is the economics of living by non-production. It by exact
definition is
the economics of living off interest from loans. Which is an extreme of
rewarding
non-production.
Imperialism and Colonialism are also bad as they exist by enslaving the
population
of less strong countries like Russia does, and that too is getting a reward
for
non-production like they did in Victorian England from all the colonies.
Parasitism is Parasitism. Whether high or low it is unlovely.
All these isms are almost equally nutty and their inheritors, if not
their
originators, were all of a stamp-suppressive.
All I beat the drum for is that the working worker deserves a break and
the
working manager deserves his pay and the successful company deserves the
fruits of its
success.
Only when success is bought by enslavement or rewards are given to bums
or
thieves will you find me objecting.
This is a new look. It is an honest look.
Reward the up statistic and damn the down and we'll all make out.
