[GJM] The Inner Structure Of TOP (The Optimum Policy)

[wesburt at juno.com]

Good day to friends on nine mail lists,

By all means, print the attached visual-aid to 
complement your reading of this message.  The 
shaded section of the private sector chart shows 
the "expense of management" as Adam Smith 
described it in his "First Maxim Of Taxation," 1776.  
The smaller shaded section of the ppublic sector chart 
shows how little of the "expense of government" the 
US presently invests in developing its human assets.

After spending a week at Franconia Notch, New 
Hampshire, watching our "Best and Brightest" 
debate the current issues on C-Span and C-Span II, 
I am convinced that the "Common Cause" of wealthy, 
healthy, intelligent, and powerful Americans (our 
WHIPs) is the defense of the status quo, and the 
destruction of the US Empire as a consequence. 
As Frederic Bastiat said about this problem in his 
book, The Law, 1850:

        "It is as if it were necessary, before a reign of 
        justice appears, for everyone to suffer a cruel 
        retribution --- some for their evilness, and some 
        for their lack of understanding."

The only cure for "evilness" is Law and Order  But a 
"lack of understanding" can be cured by Antonio 
Rossin's Dialectic Education (not a policy) if the 
teaching covers the reproductive processes of a 
binary economy. This knowledge is presently the 
proprietary secret of Kings, Priests, and WHIPs.

If you recall, my macro model, Fig4, showed Adam 
Smith's "great wheel of commerce" rotating about 
a vertical axis with wealth flowing to the left and 
money (M1c) flowing to the right.  The attached Fig17 
shows the same "wheel" rotating about a horizontal 
axis with wealth flowing upward from the Earth and 
money flowing downward: from the world market, to the 
productive capital assets, through the labor market, 
to the productive human assets, and back to the 
world market.  The circular flow of money (M1c-A) 
is C. H. Douglas' "A" flow which measures the wealth 
produced and delivered to the human population as 
the Gross Domestic Product.  C. H. Douglas' "B" flow 
(M!c-B) which measures transactions between capital 
assets does not add to, nor subtract from, the circular 
"A" flows of money and wealth.  This new orientation 
of the macro model provides space to show the typical 
life cycle of capital and human assets, with historical 
time as the horizontal scale. 

But notice the two reproductive processes (RP) in 
every binary economy as shown on Fig17, which  
are seldom mentioned by Monetarists, Humanists, 
Austrians, Libertarians, and WHIPs who seem to be 
more concerned with the affairs of consenting adults.  
One RP replenishes the population of capital assets 
now in production.  The other RP replenishes the 
population of human assets now in production.  
Humans, you may recall, are also the only market 
for the wealth produced by our human and capital 
assets operating in tandem.  Humans cannot exist 
without the economy which supports them.  They 
should care about how it's inner structure works.

Our WHIPs are the masters of both reproductive 
processes, which start the life cycle of capital 
assets and human assets alike.  But since the 
abolishment of slavery, WHIPs can own only capital 
assets.  So to save 3% of GDP on their total tax 
rate, the WHIPs quite naturally elect to impair the 
reproductive process of other people's assets by 
withholding the biological feedback that completes 
the reproductive process.  And this act of folly has 
destroyed every Empire since the King of Judah, 
Rehoboam, Son of Solomon, destroyed his father's 
Empire, Biblical Israel, in (I Kings 12) B.C. 1913. 
The timeless mechanism (TWP) of destruction 
sinks the nation's young parenting families in debt 
and usury.  The only source of debt free and interest 
free money is the public revenue, as Thomas Paine 
informed us in "Agrarian Justice," 1792. 

Thirty-eight hundred and sixteen years of the wrong 
policy (TWP) then elapsed before American WHIPs 
voted in A.D. 1913; for the Income Tax Amendment and 
for the Federal Reserve System, in order to satisfy the 
technical requirements of the optimum Policy (TOP). 
Unfortunately, today's American WHIPs don't know 
TOP from TWP because they do not hold, in common, 
a valid conceptual model of an economy.  So US WHIPs 
are now ninety-three years late in opening a discussion 
of TOP, which Pope Leo X III opened in 1891 with his 
Encyclical Letter "On The Condition of Labor" (Rerum 
Novarum).  Japan and the Euro nations abandoned 
TWP (as defined by "Subsidiarity") and adopted TOP 
in 1946, under the direction of Douglas MacArthur 
and John J. McCloy, respectively.  So there is still 
an urgent need for a valid conceptual model of an
economy that will be cognoscible by Doug Everingham 
as well as by the public in every nation.  I believe 
Fig17 meets that need.

A week of quiet reflection in New Hampshire resulted 
in Fig17a, a one page presentation of TOP.  Please 
let me know if I have solved the cognosciblity problem 
and followed John Watkin's teaching toward a simpler 
illustration of "The Optimum Policy" (TOP).

Kind regards,

Wes Burt

                     TOP and TWP are cognoscible on
                      Dr. W. Curtiss Priest's web site at:
             <http://www.epie.org/cyber-soc/default.htm>                 
 
           Where do you stand on the continuum between 
   TOP (The Optimum Policy) and TWP (The Wrong Policy)?
