All the economic woes of the world can be solved simply, fairly, and in a way that pleases everyone by applying 3 easy to understand rules. It’s just such a shame that no-one knows what those rules are.
Last week, a Republican congressman was explaining how tax cuts would increase revenue. You see, lower tax rates would mean that people would have less incentive to cheat on their taxes. Crazy talk.
Give all the breaks to the rich. Instead of giving themselves bigger bonuses, they will share the money with everyone else and use it to create jobs, just like the Obama bail out of the banks – they invested our money in the stock market when it was at 7,400 and the Wall Street economy got much better. People now have no problem finding the high-paying jobs they used to have.
Its pretty clear the last “crazy” thing we would want to debate would be Adam Smith vs Karl Marx. After all, Smith only gave us the greatest economic, military, and Republican colossus in history while Marx gave us dictatorships and Venezuela. BTW, Hitler and Mussolini were also Socialists who exploited capitalism through “cronies” sort of like what the Progressive Alt-Left has achieved through Facebook, Google, et al today.
Want to prevent someone from talking crazy? Let everyone talk crazy everywhere they go, and hope they out crazy talk the crazy. Places where crazy talk is banned don’t just leave people defenseless, they attract crazy people intent on talking to as many people as possible. Restricting crazy talk isn’t just bad policy, it’s a danger to every American. The only way we can prevent crazy talk is by ordinary citizens talking crazy all the places ordinary citizens go, so the theory says.
Let’s see now. We’re all equal here; it’s just the ones who are able to enforce their own definition of what is “crazy” who are more equal than everyone else. Nobody, but nobody, believes in freedom of speech any more.

Actually, my economic theory is to institute “No Crazy Talk Zones”, and put up signs.

I bet those signs would be immensely popular. They’d only shut up “other people”, after all.

So you see, children, giving all the Halloween candy to the rich will mean more Halloween candy for everyone. Its the trickle-down-or-treat theory.
