Economics - October 2006

I invented a super low cost GPS (if not free, how can it be done you say, get me an appointment with them and I will cut you in), along with a long/lat driven SQL database that has a great “conceptional" fit with the new Yahoo services: tagging, local business development, consumer travel, directions and mapping, child safety, NO privacy concerns.
Guaranteed that you are found ONLY when you or yours wants to be found or needs something. This GPS has been designed to be delivered to the masses so everyone could have the benefits of satellite travel, ultimately leading to less oil dependency and a realistic reduction in emissions, outside the Global Warming controversy, how can you argue with either. The satellites are there anyways why not put them to work for everyone. This is no bs, if I have to cut off my ear to prove it I will.

This pulls a lot of things together, from virtual to reality. Yahoo could use the shot in the arm too!!

How can you have a 'tide that raises all boats' and keep inflation down at the same time? If everyone who is making 20k a year suddenly made 30k a year, there would be inflation. If there is low inflation, it means that demand is stable, that no one is becoming capable of purchasing more, which means that class is stable and that there is no social mobility.

Then the question this leads to, how can Capitalism claim to be about what's best for anyone besides the upper classes? Why does anyone believe in something like 'trickle down' theory? Isn't it really 'crumbs from the table to ensure the fortunes of the wealthy?'

And if social mobility is on the decrease and the wealthy are rigging society for themselves, why aren't more people angry? Is it just that America is intellectually decadent and thus incapable of understanding what is happening to them, or do people not mind because of some other reason?

imo

that most wealthy ppl work hard, and that they get their money by working, are 2 very very different things - the difference is all our vast unnecessary suffering - the HARDEST WORKING PERSON can not work more than TWICE as hard as the av person - [i hav seen figures for american homemakers as over 90 hrs/wk - for british, as over 70 hrs/wk - and underpaid ppl HAVE to work harder than avg] - but income-increase of fortune/workhr ranges from 1c to $10,000,000 - so there is clearly no way a person gets wealthy by working - overpaid ppl dont make money, they rake money, by the many wideopen legal thefts - the extractive economy is 20 times the working economy

the fact [assumption] that they work hard is no proof they earn their money

[& all the excuses for higher than av hrly pay [risk, responsibility, skill, brains, talent, experience, gifts] are full of holes, no reasons - see other q & a of mine]

so, is it true that wealthy ppl get their money by working for it?

if more people would be financially independent, we would be in a better state economically. there would be more money givers and less money suckers.

I want to do some survey of which European consumers still prefer wine bottle with cork instead of screwcap. I was told that European thought that wine with screwcaps would degrade the perception of wine quality. They always relate higher quality of wine with those bottles in corks. Is it true?

shd everyone be VERY [x 10] worried about how much wealth others hav, because money is political power? and a super hyper extreme range of power & powerlessness is tyranny, oppression, corruption, theft, slavery, unliberty, unfreedom, undemocracy, state terrorism, sadism, & extreme violence, ever-escalating, between power-full & power-less?

we KNOW extreme range of money/power is unjust, bc we know that one person cannot work much harder than another PER HOUR [& differences in gifts of nature are not in justice, in logic, to be rewarded - pay justly compensates only LOSS - time, energy, etc]

we KNOW that injustice causes violence, because money is good for almost everything, including all necessities, so theft of earnings is the greatest injury - we know that injustice causes violence, because we know what would happen if a govt took 90% of earnings off 90% of ppl

we KNOW injustice and violence HAVE been escalating for 1000s of yrs - we KNOW we have bombpower to kill all life

1% get 90% of world income, ppl - and do less than 1% of the work - ie, they steal 89% of world income - they steal US$70 trillion a year - that is US$70,000 of earnings off every family in the world

you know the rich get richer etc - you know that this has been going on for 1000s of years - so you wouldnt be surprised to learn it has got to a super-extreme point

it is not just the suffering from the giant theft - the giant theft produces giant violence - you know the theft causes the violence, because you know there would be vast violence if a govt took 90% off 90% of ppl and gave it to 1%

and yet even the ones who are speaking up against inequality are not attempting to indicate how far we are from justice - they are thinking only of reducing the inequality - they are not at all concerned to actually get to justice and peace

in one way ppl are concerned - because they are trying to get it back by war and crime - but in another way they are not at all concerned - why?

P = 40, q = 10 at equilibrium
At equilibrium, price elasticity of supply = 2.0

Use the price elasticity and market equilbrium to find the supply schedule q = a + p(change in q/change in p).

How in the world do you go about doing this?

it's like saying: the top block in the pyramid is glorious, take all the other blocks away

we see the same pattern in the golden calf story: ppl feeling richr but making themselves poorer

it is the will to project an IMAGE of our selves - to SEE beauty, heaven, the glorious, the sweet, the shining

is this why it is so hard for ppl to see overpay in $500,000/hr?

is this why ppl cant see my motivation argument? ppl think: if we dont hav limitless fortune, how do we motivate ourselves? forgetting that 99% underpay is 99% DISmotivation - they cant see the other blocks in the pyramid - forgetting that fairpay for work is motivation for everyone -

ppl love inheritance, lotteries & getrichquick schemes, forgetting that unlimited inheritance, lottery prizes and getrichquick schemes [money without work] is work without money for 99% - making violence ever-escalating, as it has done for 1000s of yrs

the peak=pyramid error ties in with our tunnelvision error - seeing part, peak

It is often said (particularly by politicians) that tax cuts stimulate job creation and economic growth. How economically sound is this idea? I'm looking for any peer-reviewed academic sources that either support or refute this view. Please supply references.
