    —“@Curt Doolittle do you not know what a Value-Added Tax is?”—

    Yes. It is a compound tax (many points of taxation), and a variation on the sales tax (one point of taxation), and like sales taxes is one of the most regressive taxes known to man, particularly because of the distortion it places on the world pricing systems.

    Conversely, an income tax is the most progressive because unlike sales or vat taxes it provides the least if not zero distortion of world pricing systems that work against the interests of established (advanced) polities.

    The superior alternative to VAT is import-export (trade) tax and policy, which fosters ingroup (home) trade.

    There is one reason to employ a VAT: in very low trust countries with very low tax compliance (greece, italy, china), it creates the greatest opportunity for state intervention into private industry thus solving the problem of asymmetric information enabling avoidance.

    I don’t make mistakes. It’s my job to help all of you folk for whom doing so makes you useful idiots to those who have destroyed our civilization thru confusing a temporary period of pre and post war wealth with a durable competitive advantage – one which we no longer have. And which folk like you merely assist in perpetuating out of ignorance.

    Stalin’s useful idiots still reign.

    VALUE: Markets (LAW) vs Dictators (DISCRETION)

    And this is the value of strong men – change to what is known from what is unknown when one is not current but behind. The value of markets is in changing from current and known to future that is unknown.

    Efficient organization to produce a known by eliminating competition vs efficient organization to produce an unknown by competition.

    INTEREST AND TIME

    Consumption vs Production

    1. Production REQUIRES interest to calculate time.

    2. Consumption does NOT REQUIRE interest to calculate time.

    3. Time has already been calculated.

    4. It was either a good calculation or a bad one.

    This is one of those things I unconsciously assume is obvious because I already convert all economic and financial statements into statements of time.

    But Michael reminds me tonight that it isn’t obvious.

    I suppose I’ve convinced everyone who wasn’t thinking in terms of property to do so but I have clearly failed to convince everyone to convert property into time, because it is time that we create and purchase all property with and we make time by saving time by cooperation in a division of labor.

    I mean, that’s what productivity means: measurable returns on time.

    —“How do you get women to leave the workforce? Reduce incentives for them to choose a career over family? If so how would that work?”—John Smith

    CLARIFICATION

    It’s not important that women leave the work force so much as that we lower the burden of not being in the work force so that women work for luxuries, socialization, and joy rather than out of economic necessity at the expense of family.

    There are women who will always feel the drive for achievement just like men do. There are plenty of women however, who would prefer to maintain a comfortable middle class lifestyle, while raising their children without compromise.

    HOW:

    1. Distribute liquidity (money supply) directly to consumers, instead of thru the financial system.

    2. Eliminate Consumer Interest on durable goods.

    3. Restore voluntary disassociation, so it’s not necessary to ‘buy a home where good schools are’ rather than have good schools by prohibiting peoples who ruin them. We can make most neighborhoods good neighborhoods again -without much difficulty.

    4. Eliminate subsidy for non-degrees in non-subjects.

    5. Eliminate communal property, alimony, and child support.

    6. Tax Freedom for self-support of 4 or more children.

    7. Involuntary Sterilization of dependent mothers.

    8. Restore universal male service, and continual fitness for service through age 60.

    9. Reduce junior and high school to half time and part time work thereby eliminating jobs for immigrants.

    10. This ends the ignorance, desocialization, and lack of agency an of teenagers such that they do not enter maturity with pent up sexual, social, economic, frustrations.

    We subsidize bad behavior. end the subsidies and the behavior will end.

    —“Those solutions lighten the burden of raising a nuclear family and help people avoid debt pitfalls. So that definitely helps women choose not to prioritize work over family. However, there is social status and wealth you can get from choosing a career over family. Women, like all humans, like wealth and social status. What’s stopping a female from becoming career oriented because she wants wealth and social status?.”–John Smith

    Women are not like men. They are much more signal driven. Change the signals and change the behavior. We will never turn back the clock. But we can rebalance the distribution.

    —“Very interesting Curt, thank you.”–John Smith

    RADICAL CHANGE TO REVERSE RADICAL CHANGE

    The returns on low investment parenting in exchange for additional income by women’s entry into the workforce, then absorbed by taxation and redistributed to the underclasses and immigrants has been catastrophic in addition to dysgenic. Instead, return to high investment parenting, high returns commons, and reduction in signaling costs between peoples capable of high trust order, with the resulting high returns is superior to the continuation of this suicide by finance.
