The politics of the welfare state are simple – the government provides largesse in exchange for votes. That largesse has to come from somewhere, and government does not create wealth – so it must take wealth from those who are not its clients, in the form of taxes. Typically that is resented.

The politics of the welfare state are simple – the government provides largesse in exchange for votes. That largesse has to come from somewhere, and government does not create wealth – so it must take wealth from those who are not its clients, in the form of taxes. Typically that is resented. Thus, you have to maintain a majority that is or could become a client of the welfare state and thus will vote for it, or that is employed by it. And the taxes that pay for all that are what keeps most people from becoming financially independent of it. It’s a self-fulfilling machine, politically. This was the New Deal / Great Society.
But economically a welfare state can work only with a small client base and a large class that is financially independent of government and yet supports it. So the welfare state model described above must fail and did fail – without organic growth the Fed had to inflate to fuel the economy, and it all washed up on the beach in the 1970s as stagflation.
Volcker HAD to do what he did, if he didn’t, we’d still have stagflation today.
But he was able, politically, to do it because the tax cuts triggered organic growth, thus reducing the pain of monetary tightening.
The series of tax cuts we’ve had since 1981 have resulted in more economic mobility, in growth of earnings – real capital – thus less reliance on inflated currency for short-term growth. The result has been an almost uninterrupted 30 year boom, which has significantly enlarged that class of people who are financially independent of government – who are not potential clients of the welfare state. We “live paycheck to paycheck” in that we spend what we bring in, but we spend most of it on things we don’t need such as cable tv, internet, vacations, a new grill, marble and granite countertops, hardwood floors, homes 50% larger than homes in the 1970s – not the same thing as someone who makes only enough to pay for rent for a studio apartment and groceries.

Please visit www.crookreport.co.uk For more alternative news, videos, interviews and exclusive content. PLEASE DONATE & SUPPORT MY WEB SITE https THANK YOU. Live! | Video blocked in some countries. Scotland Yard has warned businesses in London to expect a Mumbai-style attack on the capital. In a briefing in the City of London 12 days ago, a senior detective from SO15, the Metropolitan police counter-terrorism command, said: Mumbai is coming to London. The detective said companies should anticipate a shooting and hostage-taking raid involving a small number of gunmen with handguns and improvised explosive devices. The warning — the bluntest issued by police — has underlined an assessment that a terrorist cell may be preparing an attack on London early next year. It was issued by the Met through its network of security forums, which provide business leaders, local government and the emergency services with counter-terrorism advice. During a commando-style raid by 10 gunmen on hotels and cafes in Mumbai in November 2008, 174 people were killed and more than 300 injured over three days. Officials now report an increase in intelligence chatter — communications captured by electronic eavesdropping agencies. One senior security adviser said the police warnings had intensified and become much more specific in the past fortnight. Before, there has been speculation. Now we are getting what appears to be a definite plot to carry out a firearms attack on London, he said. Earlier this …

TRUE TORAH JEWS: The Zionist ideology is antithetical to the Torah. Zionism was deviously designed to replace the Torah and its holy, God-given commandments with nationalistic, power-driven ideals that are devoid of holiness. What more proof does one need than the fact that for centuries, Jews have lived peacefully in Arabic countries, enjoying the respect and friendship of their neighbors? The tragedy of Zionism changed all of that. The painful truth is that in the eyes of the Zionist government, Jews are merely the cannon-fodder needed for the State of Israel to achieve its agenda.
