How Do We Pay For This?

HOW DO WE PAY FOR THIS?

Well pilgrim, we're gonna have to bite the bullet for a while. It's gonna take some time for the benefits to start trickling up. How long? Well, as I said before, not by next Tuesday. But there is some money for this already. If we stop letting our "representatives" spend money on relative crap such as statues, feasability studies, inane research projects and soccer stadiums we can get all this started. Little league fields and theaters are great, but we need to put a hold on that sort of thing until we get the important stuff taken care of. Look. You get your stadium as soon as everyone has a place to live. It's that fucking simple. (this is a rant, I have to swear)

Later on this starts to pay for itself. How? When people aren't just thrown off welfare and can actually focus on job training, education and child care they'll become REAL productive members of society...er...consumers. Let me put it this way for all you capitalists out there. You have a huge potential of untapped consumers just waiting for the day they have the resources to replace all their old crap with your new crap. Actually, millions have no crap at all and they eagerly want crap...your crap! But the only way they're gonna get your crap right now is to carjack you and steal it or give blow jobs to earn money to buy enough dope that they don't care about your crap. See the part of this rant about benefits to see what other bonuses lie behind Trickle Up Economics.

Eventually this is gonna take care of itself. With more people actually able to work they will, maybe at government jobs taking care of food, clothing, shelter, etc. They'll pay taxes, be too busy trying to buy crap to take drugs, steal, kill, etc. We save money on police, jails, the overburdened court system and the ridiculous amount of money we spend on this stupid-ass War on Drugs. When we start to use the farmers who are near bankrupcy to grow food for those who don't have it we kill two birds with one stone; actually three birds because then we won't need John Cougar Mellonhead at Farm Aid anymore. We'll need people building real houses, making real clothes and growing real food making real wages. It's a cycle that even a nut job like Henry Ford saw...everyone has good-paying jobs, they buy more of your crap.

The corporations aren't gonna stand for this, are they. Nah. It makes too much sense. Well, if we would turn of our TV's for a while we could tell them that they HAVE to accept it. They will. Don't believe me? Well, if it's gonna work you're gonna have to put your money where your mouth is. Yep. No McDonalds. You'll have to tell Time Warner to kiss your ass. You're gonna have to read a book instead...or better yet, interact with other people, maybe even your own family. We, meaning the people who the government supposedly works for, can revoke a corporations charter. I swear, it's true. I learned it in 7th grade social studies class so it's gotta be true. But if we do that to corporations won't people lose their jobs? They already are! Jeez, corporations make less profit (not lose money, just make less) and they fire thousands and thousands of people.

The benefits of Trickle Up Economics.
