[GJM] #29 Three Politically Correct Replies to #27 On The Optimum Policy (TOP)

[wesburt at juno.com]

Dear old and new friends,

The three replies to #27 exhibited varying degrees 
of PC (political correctness).  In declining order of PC: 
d.j.bezemer at rug.nl on list Gang8 did not reply. 
msroz at buffalo.edu from Lew Rockwell's list wrote, 
"Thanks for posting me," followed by a full copy of 
#27 without comment.  And John Gelles on list 
FixGov came closest to political incorrectness and 
TOP when he offered his opinion that education 
should be both universal and funded from the public 
revenue.  

I thank John Gelles for opening the back door to a 
discussion of the optimum policy (TOP).  As we all 
know, TOP is the politically incorrect US policy for 
bringing parenting households, at any income level; 
to parity of aftertax spending power with households 
of gay men, lesbian women, or celibate priests at the 
same income level.   

 Everyone, Wes Burt included, Wants A Good 
Start for All Children.  Wealthy families provide 
such a good start as a matter of course. At lower 
levels of income, the $5,000/year expense of 
subsistence for each dependent is equivalent to 
a head tax of $5,000 per year per dependent, 
from which households of gay men, lesbian 
women, celibate priests, and all other non parenting 
households are exempt.  They laugh all the way to 
the bank, where they deposit and invest the earned 
income they saved by not raising children.  The gay 
community's mindless agitation, for the same tax 
benefits that Congress allowed for parenting families, 
would win more support if they also promoted The 
Optimum Policy (TOP) to level the economic playing 
field for parenting families in every society. 

Let's give credit where it is due.  Celibate priests in 
Europe, beginning in 1891 with RERUM NOVARUM 
and subsequent encyclical letters of the Roman 
Church, have championed TOP in their "Catholic 
Social Teaching." In 1891 they proposed that TOP 
should be funded by employers.  That proposal was 
repeated in 1931, on the 40th anniversary of Rerum 
Novarum, and again ignored by European employers.  
Not until 1981, in encyclical letter Laborem Exercens, 
did the late John Paul II approve of TOP being funded 
from the public revenue, as Thomas Paine had proposed 
in 1792 and most Western European nations had done 
after WW II to enable their three decade economic 
miracles.  Such a low level of "diligence" in promoting 
TOP would not get an application accepted by the US 
Patent Office.  Perhaps the Europeans want TOP in 
Europe, maybe, and TWP (The Wrong Policy) in the 
United States, for sure.

The systemic defect of omission in our Judeo-Christian 
culture is our failure to satisfy the essential financial 
requirement that both the expense of developing our 
human assets and the expense of developing our 
capital assets should be equally well capitalized.  By well 
capitalized I mean, the asset is brought into production 
debt free and fully competitive with those assets already 
in production.  

Figure 17i, attached to #27 and also this post, illustrates 
how our private sector corporations have perfected 
capitalism for developing US productive capital assets 
while allowing only 50% capitalism for the development 
of US productive human assets.  The public and the 
Media remain oblivious of this 50% capitalism 
(TWP) in the public sector because parenting 
families proudly pay $5,000/year for seventeen 
years of subsistence for each dependent, while 
expecting the public revenue to pay $6,500/year 
for twelve years of education for each of their 
children. 

The second attached file, Fig10c.gif, US CPI Profile 
1785 to date, shows that the systemic defect of 
omission became perceptible in the late 1800s, 
and had it been corrected at that time, the USA 
would have continued to be the example of sound 
Republican government for the world.  Now I ask 
you Dirk J. Bezemer, Michael S Rozeff, John Gelles, 
and other old friends on my copy list; is the "not invented 
here" syndrome going to withhold this simple and obvious 
solution for ever?

Or is it as my old friend Wally Klinck writes to 
Marguerite Hampton on the global justice movement list:

"Only humans, it seems can be so utterly stupid-- 
so damnably bottomlessly mindless!  We are a 
strange lot--having the capacity to work absolute 
wonders of creativity and noble action-- only to 
turn right around and destroy the good we have 
wrought.  Are we genetically programmed to self 
destruct?  (Of course I don't really believe this--
we, "A" and "B", have just been cunningly 
programmed psychologically unconsciously to 
think and act perversely in the interests of "C.")  
What can be done to break this general state 
of hypnosis?" 
~~~~~~~~~~ End Wallace Klinck ~~~~~~~~~

It might help to read the Five Books Of Moses, that is where I first 
found the Whole Divine Law documented.  General Motors under Sloan in the
1920s, Electric Power grids in the 1930s, and General Electric in the
1940s were johnny come latelys, but they got it right.

Kind regards,

Wes Burt

               TOP and TWP are cognoscible on

                 TOP is GOOD --- TWP is EVIL
