I like thinking in there or at least thinking seems to happen better with the steam. So oddly enough I’m thinking about the economy and all of that. Can’t imagine where I got those ideas. The first thing was the Postal Service thinking of cutting out a day of the week for delivery. Which it fine but then again, a lot of other parts of the economy depend on delivery of letters, packages etc. This could cause a spur in other businesses picking up the slack of the postal service. Which could potentially create more havoc or spur more local courier business, which would create more jobs, and all is happy. However, this could end up in a price war upward and who knows where that would end. So my vote is that the postal service should stay open, while this may make them more financially sound I think there are upper level redundancies and misspending that can be cut before a day of service and the loss of employees as well.
Then the whole economic theory of trickle down economics that we still seem to be clinging too as a basis for taxing large business and the upper class. This doesn’t work. Sure it works in theory, lots of things work in theory but the test is in reality it doesn’t work. Because it depends on people making choices that are selfless and for the benefit of the job market and jobs. Greed takes that right out of the picture. Example if you are given the choice to keep a 100 dollars today or spend it and get that 100 returned in a two year period but it will 300 what are you likely to do?
You’re going to keep the 100. Now lets say it’s a million. It’s a million
Ok see it’s easy to see why the theory doesn’t work in reality.
So all these CEO’s have this money keep it or spend it on new jobs, bettering the business. Keep it. In fact there are those things we keep spending money on and it just sits there like retirement lets see if we can’t keep more of that too. YAY GREED. Blow me Gordon Gecko greed is not good.
If large business were in a position were they had to be fiscally responsible and pay a FAIR SHARE of the tax burden instead of pushing on the middle/working class then better choices would be made. Better people would be hired instead of Boards allowing do-nothing CEO’s captain their businesses into oblivion. They would see that they can make much more money in the long term.
What do they all preach to us about investing. Long term is the way to go. Listen to your own advise. The better off your workers are the more money they are going to spend. The safer they feel about their jobs the more likely they will be more productive and find innovative and new ways to do things. Saving money on production and increasing profits.
Lets call it, I don’t know ….. COMMON SENSE THEORY. All the things that you aren’t taxing them for are helping them make more money which under the current system is not being returned. In a sense it is breach of contract. The tax codes were written in the understanding that business would operate thusly and build in accordance with a given idea. Well they don’t so why continue to all them to have a contract that they have no intention of honoring. It’s time to pay the piper. Cut from the top first, demand responsible practices and real measurable results not projections, invest in the future of your employees and they will invest in your future.
Anyway my soap box is now in the corner if anyone else would like to use it. And I’ll continue to sign my checks over on muther’s day to all the muther f’ers I owe money too. But the memo field says greedy corporate scum not my account number.
Yes it’s ultimately not all that productive but it is that final act of defiance before the jaws of doom swallow you whole.
Have a great day and play nice in the neighborhood.
Ciao,
