Funny Money, Part 1, by Late Nite LeRoy April 17, 2000
Now that tax time is over for another year for most of us, I need to go over some basics. Newspapers this time of year are full of ideas for deductions or asset allocation so that at the very least, you'll be able to save more next year. This all presumes you are dealing with a government that uses your tax money to pay for the Great Society that Lyndon Johnson gave us.
The word conspiracy has somehow been discredited, although more astute investigators find that most of the people who discount conspiracy are usually the ones involved in it. The older you get in life, so long as you spend it sober, you begin to realize life is full of unfairness. So whether you call it a conspiracy, a stacked deck, or abuse of power, the results are the same. Somebody gets taken advantage of unjustly while the conspirators dance on their graves. Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord, so every conspirator will have God to answer to for their evil deeds. But what are the righteous to do when they uncover an evil plan? Abraham Lincoln felt it was a sin to do nothing when evil surrounds you. I agree with him. So the next question is what can one person do? The answer is just like being lost, you need to first find out where you are at now, determine the direction to where you want to be, then take the first step in that direction.
The most extenive documentation for the following information is presented at Devvy Kidd's site http://www.devvy.com She is a conservative politician from Northern California for those not familiar with this spunky lady. Academia has conspired to keep economics aloof and confusing for most of us. Using polysyllabic words to sound intelligent, they exhibit their own ignorance. Money is simply a unit of exchange to transfer assorted wealth between two parties. As worldwide wealth increases, so must the units for exchange. Barter is always possible, but requires more astute assessment by each party involved. Fads and manias create unbalanced exchange rates for anything. Blame that on human nature, not conspiracy, until you find who is causing a perceived shortage, or a bogus need.
Let me further define my use of the word conspiracy here, it is always the uniting of a plan to do EVIL. Liars use the word conspiracy against ANY organized plan. The RICO laws were intended to prevent criminals from conspiring to plan evil actions across state lines. They were not intended to stop General Electric from selling light bulbs in more than one state or to stop any special interest group from organizing their cause in more than one state. We saw the Bill Clinton / Janet Reno justice department abuse both the authority and the law by using RICO against abortion protesters.
When too much money flows into an economy, it usually means inflation. But if one segment of an economy sucks up all the excess cash, no one notices. I now point out the stock market.
When there is insufficient money for a population to grease its economy, the wheels stop turning, businesses lay off employees and we have deflation and depression.
Who gains when others lose? We now see inflation, deflation, and abuse of power, i.e. The Federal Reserve / US Income Tax systems.
