The U.S.A. A nation of dependant children, who vote

This nation is being drained of its resources by persons with the economic intelligence of a fifth-grade child.  We are like a family of two parents who have turned over all money management to their three grade school children.  The family has mistakenly given all five of its members equal voting power.  Mom and Dad get outvoted at every turn.  Although Mom and Dad know how to bring money into the family and how to parcel out its expenditure, the kids are able to override Mom’s and Dad’s decisions.

The majority of voters have the economic intelligence of fifth grade children. Among all the political exhortations from our claptrap educationists, nobody seems to get around to saying something about “educating children about economic competence.”

Do you know what would happen if the claptrap educationists actually taught the honest version of production economics?  Those kids would grow up and begin asking the questions that seems never to be asked: “What are you claptrap educationists doing over on the governing side of the economic equation? You belong over on the production side among those of us producers who want to take home more of our earnings for our own uses.  Why aren’t you earning your money the same way the rest of us must earn ours?  If you were, you’d begin thinking the same way we do about keeping the tax bite low.”

Economic literacy and political literacy go hand in hand, just in case you’ve been wondering why the U.S.A. is being dragged back into poverty by its rulers. We have been conned for a hundred years about ways big government can decrease poverty.  If big government would get its taxes off the backs of its local communities and let little governments deal with the same problems on a local basis, huge tax costs and much political strife would simmer down.

The county system of governing dates back to the Magna Charta (freedom document) of 1215 at Runnymeade Island in England. Our ever-reliable counties of the U.S.A. could operate the federal system, instead of relying on the plethora of unequal, and wrangling, districts we are now using.  We have never given the Founder’s Congressional District a fair chance.  How the counties could do it is a subject for another blog.
