WHAT CREATES WEALTH?

WHAT CREATES WEALTH?
I’ll tell you in layman’s terms from my own creative thinking. To better highlight the age old question, what really creates wealth I’ll make my point using a metaphor? 

Most of us have heard the saying “No guts no glory.” So, I think a similar metaphor will hit the nail on the head concerning what it takes to create wealth. 

Here is the new metaphor I’m creating to best highlight what it takes to create wealth: “No risk takers no wealth.”

High taxes and too much government regulation can wipe out the incentive to take risk, because the reward will not be worth the risk. 

Why bother, why should I bust my tail off when someone not doing anything receives an equal reward. That is socialism; it always ends up making everyone equally poor. But, that is where we are headed, full steam straight ahead into full socialism.

There never has and never will be a rich and prosperous country without a lot of rich people. If I had to choose just one type of people that creates great wealth in a nation it would be risk takers. 

And the greater the reward the greater the wealth produced. Sure, a nation’s government can become rich from selling a natural resource, but that is not created wealth the people will still remain dirt poor.

MIDDLE CLASS FACING EXTINCTION!

MIDDLE CLASS FACING EXTINCTION!
What is real money? What does money really represent? I’ll tell you what no one else will, money is only a substitute for physical trade. 

And physical trade is an exchange of goods or services resulting from physical labor and sweat to survive. 

So, when you just print worthless money out of thin air you break the chain to physical survival. The effects and dire consequences just take a while to catch up.

Physical survival? Yep! That is the dire consequence in question when there is a lack of food. Sure, it is a must to have manufacturing to produce modern weapons for national security. 

However, food is the first priority for survival and without it nothing else matters. I believe mass starvation is going to be the main consequence resulting from printing all of this worthless money.

Right now if anything, the government should be promoting and encouraging small farming and home gardening, nothing else is going to prevent mass starving in the near future. 

I know no one is actually listening and view me as being off my rocker, but time will be the final judge on the matter, not you, or me.

I keep hearing how the printing presses are humming and printing out tons and tons of crisp new dollars. So, I decided to weigh in and analyze the ramification of printing so much money. 

Okay, lets say the government has all of this money, what is the purpose and how will this affect the economy. I am a creative thinker and here is my take on how this is going to play out.

The economy consist of only two players, a seller (merchant) and a Buyer (consumer) no matter how modern and advanced it may be. To an economy the government is a parasite, but a necessary parasite. 

Every society must have a government for protection. When government gets involved in the inner working of a free market place economy it destroys the natural selection balance between the merchant and the consumer. And once that balanced is destroyed the economy is never going to work right.

There are simply too many variables; my guess is as good as any economist. The economy is only one leg of the survival stool. 

You can’t ignore the nuclear family, the culture, the capacity to barter and ever truly understand economics, I don't care who you are, it is impossible. 

Wise leaders of old knew this and would never have created this welfare state beast. Mass amounts of paper money or currency are mostly a modern tool or leg added to the survival stool.

The American Indian and many other societies survived for thousands of years without money. We have become fixated with tunnel vision only on money to survive, which is impossible in the long run. 

We seem to becoming almost totally a materialist people. Get a grip America. Sure, money is a good thing and a great advantage in a modern society, but, if you want your society to be around for centuries you better have some emergency fallback bartering capacity left in place.

Otherwise when the rebirth cycle comes around it is back to the Stone Age. There is no life or nothing in existence that doesn’t have a rebirth cycle at some point. 

It should be this way, how else can all of the moral and other decay be purged. The negative anti-survival threats will become too powerful for a civilize society to exist. Look at our culture now; it is already almost totally upside down.

The thing about government is it has the big guns, and the hardest thing in the world is to retain the power in the hands of the people.

The constitution was supposed prevent an all powerful government, but I'm afraid the liberal has created far too many dependent to put a damper on reckless spending or any sanity. 

Here is my prediction on how this money is going to be spent. Everyone receiving a government check or food stamps is going to get a raise. 

There will be mass new construction and all kinds of new social spending programs.

There will be all kind of new hidden taxes and fees, plus green regulations. With all of this going on the merchants will be force to raise their price even higher to cover the added cost. 

The merchants will get away with raising their prices because the government subsidizes enough people with checks and food stamps to keep them in business. 

But its not the merchants fault, they have to pay all kinds of high taxes, licenses, and fees.

So, what is the problem, what is wrong with this picture? I’ll tell you, it’s like scratching your head when your toe is itching. 

Nothing is done to try to rein in the “Galloping cost of living and the dwindling buying power of the dollar” which is really what’s destroying the economy. 

The middle class is going to be destroyed almost to the point of extinction. The only thing that can rein in the cost of living is a draconian reduction in taxes and government spending. God save America.

WILL CHAOS DESTROY THE UNITED STATES?

MIDDLE CLASS FACING EXTINCTION!
For well over fifteen years I have been hollering and screaming in the wiliness about the dangers of big government and the welfare state. 

Yet, I’m still seen as some kind of neurotic nut that should go away, but I haven’t, I’m still here trying to sound the alarm. I’m one of the few that have always seen the big picture.

Now, I’m beginning to hear the word “Depression” banded about. I got some news about that, a depression ain’t gonna happen, I believe we will zip right pass it to the next stage, the welfare state has closed off that option. 


What we could face is something unthinkable and far worse; we could face chaos and total collapse of civilization. That is because there is a world of difference between today’s society and US. Society back in 1929.

There were no big government and welfare state back in 1929. Back then our culture was healthy with a strong nuclear family system, we had a strong religious and moral code in place, we had many, many small farmers and home gardeners that gave a backup bartering capacity in case the economy collapsed. 


And almost no one was dependent on the government for anything.

Now, fast forward to today, big government and our welfare state has eliminated the need for all of the above proven means of survival that has allowed civilizations to exist for over five thousand years. 


Today millions upon millions of Americans are solely dependent on government for survival. Many of these people have never been conditioned to even think of depending on themselves for survival.

So, if our economy fails, the government will not be able to take care of all these people. They will be left with nothing and no initiative to survive on their own. These undisciplined people are not going to starve quietly. 


This is what our welfare state has done to this great, great predominant Christian nation. But, some way some how God can make a way out of no way.


US. TREASURE SUFFERS TUNNEL VISION!

The reason modern economist will not solve our economical woes is tunnel vision. Wall Street and stock market stuff is important but is not the core reason for our collapsing economy. 

The true focus point and cancer that is destroying capitalism and this country is government interference and choking taxes on businesses. 

Everybody is focused on solving the Wall Street riddle, which have very little to do with the decline of our civilization.

Almost no one connects culture, the nuclear family, bartering capacity, and the economy all as one, that is why I say tunnel vision. 


I grieve about people losing money, but this is not about people losing money, this is about the survival of 300 million American lives and saving world civilization. 

History has proven that the free market place is far superior to any financial system known to man, and it will save millions and millions of lives if turned loose and set free.

The more government grabs power to try to financial get everyone into one life boat the more millions of lives it’s going to cost in the end. 


Cutting taxes and voiding regulations will untie the free market place and save us from doom, but it won’t be pretty because a free market place is all about self-effort and self-discipline. 

Otherwise, going the bigger government and socialism route is a pipe dream back to the stone age, God save our freedom.

My economic survival formula would bring manufacturing and jobs back to America in droves almost overnight and save us from doomsday, I'm serious as a heart attack, folks.



A FREDDIE L. SIRMANS, SR. FORMULA AND GUIDE FOR THE ECONOMICAL SURVIVAL OF THE US. ECONOMY“The US.
Congress should pass emergency laws eliminating practical all taxes on businesses. And the Supreme Court should issue a cease and desist order baring practical all government involvement in the free market place except collecting property taxes," then let the chip fall where they may." Now, that would be an extreme case scenario, so!

Under extreme conditions it takes extreme actions sometimes, at least the economy would survive. 


Otherwise, there is just too many variables, no one can figure out how to stop a total collapse, a half of a loaf is better than nothing. 

I’m all about solutions and problem solving, no one has to believe me or take me serious. I’m a writer folks, I only write what I think and believe.


WHO GIVES A DAMN IF THE RICH GET SHAFTED TAX WISE.

I do, I care if the rich get shafted tax wise and I don’t believe I’m alone. I think this insane idea of paying for a tax cut is just plain hardcore communist and socialist thinking, period. 

I believe a private citizens property and money belongs to him not the government, sure, by law the government has the right to take its share for tax purpose, but that is not what liberals think, liberals believe everything belongs to the government and each citizen should be issued his share.

That is why liberals believe rich people are parasites and deserve to be relieved of their ill gotten wealth, how sad. 


The truth is there never has and never will be a rich and prosperous country without a lot of rich people to make it happen. There is an old unwritten rule in a democracy that says “You never create conditions where rich people cannot keep and hold on to their money.” 

In a democracy when the rich are no longer loyal it means trouble, who knows the liberals may not care.

The first thing socialist do when trying to take over a country is blame everything on the rich, and then pretend to be the great savior coming to the rescue. 


Poor people don’t hire and give other people jobs, so to me it only stands to reason that the more rich people we have the better off we all will be. 

Besides, rich people have almost unlimited resources to hire the best lawyers to hide, shelter, and squirrel their money out of the country. In the end it is going to be the middle class saddled with all of the coming new taxes.

To sum it all up, I think it is a dumb and dangerous idea to go after and shaft the rich tax wise.

A FLICKER OF HOPE FOR AMERICA!

A FLICKER OF HOPE FOR AMERICA!
I think someway somehow Freddie L. Sirmans, Sr’s writing and thinking is beginning to seep through and will be taken more and more serious. 

Wisdom dictates that as Americans we must relearn to plant gardens and small farms in order to eat and survive. It is the welfare state that caused our predicament and is keeping us in bondage.

We will never relearn to plant on a large enough scale to save ourselves unless forced to. I’m beginning to see signs that economical force is getting people’s attention and some are considering planting. 


But, its going to take a lot more force to start a stampede, a stampede back to home gardeners and small farmers is what it is going to take for this country to survive through hard times.

In the end we as a country must do what we have to to eat and survive. We are a long ways from being willing to give up the welfare state, but I’m seeing signs that we as a people just might get there, because dismantling the welfare state is the only real solution to save the U.S.A. and western civilization. 


I don’t expect ninety five per cent of the people to agree with me, but its not about me, its about future survival.

We are on a course straight to doomsday in my view, and I can only pray that I’m wrong. If you grow and raise most of your own food as a small farmer or a home gardener, then you the man. 


This nation and western civilization was built on small farmers and home gardeners an art we have lost due to the welfare state. 

All I hear is money, money, money, and the economy; it just shows a plain lack of wisdom and a weak survival instinct.It shows a lack of deep perspective.

A corrupt culture is the real reason this nation is being sold down the river. Let me again give the order of priority for survival, money is way down on the list when it comes to bare bone survival. 


The first priority for survival is food and without small farmers and home gardeners we simply can’t survive any national disaster over three days especially if the economy collapses.

The next priority is shelter and warmeth, followed by culture. If a society doesn’t have a culture with a strong moral and religious code along with a strong nuclear family system no amount of money can save it. 


Without a strong culture it will be “Me first, I want mine, I want it all.” That is where we are today, there are far to few people willing to go down fighting for what is in the best interest of the country in the long run.

That brings us to bartering capacity as next in line of survival priority, all economies starts with bartering. People survived long before money was invented, money and a business is only a means of exchange of goods and services. 


No business can survive without making a profit and that profit can only come from you and I. Finally, money comes next in line of priority to survive, but that mean real money that has it value in itself such as gold and silver, or paper money that is backed up by gold.

Sure, money is very important, but it is just one segment of what a society needs to survive. Contrary to what almost everybody thinks the economy is not the gravest problem this country has. 


A depraved culture is what’s really destroying this nation. When politicians wanting to gain and keep power took on the burdens of government provider that took away the need for the poor man to be needed as the primary provider.

That action set in motion the destruction of our culture and nuclear family system. It has almost completely demolished the African American culture and nuclear family system. 


That said, it is impossible to save our culture and this country in the long run if government retains it super provider role. I don’t make any rules; I’m just blessed with great wisdom to see the big picture.

People always learn to survive with dignity someway somehow when they are forced to depend on and rely on themselves. 


Concerning planting: I have a container garden myself and all it takes is some five gallon buckets or flowerpots. I grow tomatoes, bell peppers, and greens for now. 

I use determinate instead of indeterminate type tomatoes to keep plant size to 3 or 4 feet. All it takes is about a quart of water twice a day and some liquid miracle grow fertilizer about once a week.

There must be good drainage to avoid root rot. I use a cheap potted soil and pine bark to stretch it. Even people in cities can learn to plant if they had a mind to. 


Its coming folks, hard times is headed our way, we must start getting prepared if we want to eat and survive. You can buy the plants and everything needed from garden centers in Walmart, Lowe’s, Home depot, or any other plant store or nursery.

Give God the praise, Amen.

HOW INFLATION HAS DESTROYED THE DOLLAR?

HOW INFLATION HAS DESTROYED THE DOLLAR?
Almost everybody is crying about high prices, but very few understand the real reason why prices for everything keep getting higher, not even most economist. 

I’ll tell you why, I’ll make it simple for the poor and those that think they know but doesn’t have a clue as to how an economy really works.

The first analogy is, “You can’t get blood out of a turnip,” meaning no business can keep charging higher and higher prices unless enough people have the money to pay, it’s impossible.


From higher and higher taxes our welfare state as a super provider gives enough people on an individual basis enough money to keep prices high.

It is like a dog chasing its own tail when government becomes a social and family provider; it gives money to the poor to support higher and higher prices, then takes through taxes from other groups to gives even more money to support higher and higher prices for everyone in a never ending upward inflationary spiral. 


It is an unending skyward inflationary spiral that is impossible to stop under current conditions.

People will ask what about the poor they can’t survive without government help. Sure, government should provide community kitchens, community shelters, and community medical support but anything more than that is what has all but destroyed our nuclear family and culture. 


The poor would be far better off today if government was not a provider because then everything you buy would be dirt cheap with almost no taxes to pay, the reason is there is never enough rich and well-to-do people to keep high priced merchants in business.

Never forget that our businesses are our job providers, and they are bent over a barrel. Every business survives only if it makes a profit, no profit no business. 


The reason business prices are so high is out of their profit margin they have to pay salaries, federal income tax, state income tax, sales tax, unemployment tax, social security tax, property tax, school tax, special purpose tax, local option tax, hotel tax, a high business license fee, and other taxes and fees I can’t even think of, plus maintenance and upkeep.

After everybody else has been paid out of the same profit margin what is left for some retail businesses can be as low as three percent. And they still have to live and support them selves out of what’s left. 


So, when everybody is crying and groaning about why we can’t make ends meet, it is very simple, in my view big government as a super provider is taxing us to death and destroying this great nation.

The same ones crying the loudest are the same ones that keep voting the big spending tax raising liberal politicians back in office, how sad. I hear all of the terrible stuff going on; on Wall Street, but that will never take the US and western civilization back to the Stone Age. 


However, I will guarantee you if we don’t abandon our liberal welfare state, back to the Stone Age are where it's going to end.

It is our liberal welfare state that have destroyed our small farmer and home gardeners, our once strong nuclear family system, our once fierce independent frontier like spirit, our once uncompromising strong morals and values, and finally any last resort to barter to survive through hard times. 


Lord have mercy on this great nation. And 95 percent out there think I'm a nut case.

In economically terms it is not the amount of dollars that counts; it is the buying power of the dollar that really counts. 


That is why very few people realize that the more taxes a provider government takes to subsidize the poor with cash on an individual basis the higher merchant prices will raise. 

And as prices for everything go up, the ratio of dollar buying power continues down. Depending solely on government as a permanent provider is an illusion.

As I have said many times, no one, no economist or anyone can truly visualize how an economy should work unless he understands the bartering foundation, I do. 


It is simple folks, freedom and democracy cannot survive our super provider government appetite. 

We are rapidly headed toward full socialism or some other form of authoritarian rule. We refuse to abandon the welfare state, so there is no stopping our march to full socialism.

The countdown has begun, can our freedom survive? I know ninety five percent of the people won’t understand or agree with my thinking on this, but that is what’s so great about this great country, I still have the freedom to say things that are different and not disappear in the middle of the night.


God I ask in your name, save the great United States of America.


LEADERSHIP, WISDOM, AND JUDGMENT VERSUS EXPERIENCE.
Lately I hear a lot of talk about a lack of experience from all corners, but experience is not always the most important thing. 


Sound judgment can be equally and even more important in terms of survival. Sure, experience is important and there is no substitute for it, but experience in what? The answer to that question is what has sold this country down the river.

There are far too many progressive liberals of both political parties with vast experience in welfare state thinking. And don’t forget the shallow minded mostly liberal news media that is only interesting in hype and sensationalism.


In my view anyone that is for a strong national defense and for protecting babies in the womb at all cost is proof of someone with a strong survival instinct and can be trusted.

A strong survival instinct includes safeguarding and protecting future generations, not like most me first liberals that place self-interest and pleasure above all. 


In terms of future survival one with a strong survival instinct will have the wisdom to do what will save the most and not get lost in extremes. The country is always in safe hands when a genuine conservative is near the steering.

I’m paraphrasing when I agree with William F. Buckley, Jr. on “preferring to be governed by the first thousand people in the New York city phone book than a group of college professors.” 


And in this case I definitely would rather be governed by someone with common sense and a strong survival instinct than any professional Washington politician that has sold this country down the river by tax forcing our jobs and industry out of the country. Amen.

WAS BAILOUT PLAN A PIPE DREAM?

WAS BAILOUT PLAN A PIPE DREAM?
I agree with a lot of what Congressman Ron Paul is saying about the economical conditions of this country. However, maybe it is because he is a politician, but I don’t think he goes near far enough on stressing solutions. 

Stressing Solutions are my greatest strength even if ninety five percent of the people don’t agree with them.

I don’t just believe it, I know eliminating almost all taxes on businesses is the only thing that will save our economy. 


One cannot be taught the supernatural wisdom I have, it is destiny born from struggle and suffering. A one man observation (me) concerning the recently enacted bailout plan. 

In my view nothing has been done to save our civilization from doom. I believe the only thing accomplished was more lost of freedom and a step closer to full socialism.

The only thing it proved was the US. Government is not going to jettison any excess baggage to save itself, but instead is going to try to get everybody into one life boat, which means in the end the country and everybody goes down.


The core problem with this whole economy is, there is fewer and fewer people left with any money to spend, Thanks to liberal politicians from both parties.

Due to the choking tax burden on businesses the cost of everything you buy is almost out of sight, yet the wanting something nothing general public keep voting the same big spenders and tax raisers back in office. 


The only thing that can save our civilization is to cut all taxes to the bone and slowly wean people off the dole.

However, there is little chance of that ever happening because big government has tasted and is drunk on the power of being a super provider, never, never will they cede one inch of their power back to the people. 


Folks, that is just the way it is, in my view there is absolutely no way to save this nation and western civilization without abandoning our welfare state.

We are on our last leg, we are in the final stage, we are about to go over the cliff, we are about to meet our maker, time is running out, the lighting is about to strike, it’s fixing to go down, the swan song is playing, there will be no tomorrow, or some other metaphor best express my belief. 


Without rebuilding our culture, our nuclear family system, and a minimum capacity to barter, we simply cannot survive when hard times come, and believe me they are on the way.

As long as this choking tax burden on businesses stay in place its not going to matter what wall street or the federal government does, this economy is still going to collapse, because not enough people have money left to spend for circulation, its that simple. 


I hear all of this, who done what on Wall Street, sure, somebody should be punished but to me that is only a catalyst and sideshow. Human nature is what it is, we all too some degree is controlled by greed and self-interest.

Only a physical gold standard or a genuine gold backup standard will provide the necessary discipline to control greed and self-interest. 


For over five thousand years a gold standard or back up gold standard is what safeguarded a nation’s culture, nuclear family system, and backup bartering capacity in case the economy collapsed. Now, our culture and everything else is shot all to hell.

However, like electricity, greed and self-interest is dangerous but it is not your enemy, there is no greater motivating and energizing force on earth than greed and self-interest. 


Without greed and self-interest at work no country can become or stay rich and prosperous, in fact these are the forces that make a democracy more successful than any other form of government.

The key is to harness these forces, but never shut them down completely like in a communist or socialist form of government.I wash my pen hand of this matter, and pray that I’m wrong.

"LIBERAL NEWS MEDIA BIAS WAS THE REAL WINNER!"

"LIBERAL NEWS MEDIA BIAS WAS THE REAL WINNER!"
Anyone familiar with my writing knows that I believe liberal policies have all but destroyed this great, great nation. 

But, the people have spoken and their will must prevail. Now, it is all out in the open, no one else to blame, no one else to accuse, and no where to hide. All eyes will be focused on the liberals to see them create their promised better life.

Who am I to try to stand in their way. I love this great country and for the sake of it I hope they succeed for the benefit of all of us. 


I would love to be proven wrong on my fear for the survival of our individual freedoms. Something’s may be a blessing in disguise. The lord works in mysterious ways.

The conservative movement was already teetering and to try to recover by using a non-conservative may have been the end. 


But, now like a phoenix raising up out of the ashes a true conservative savior and conqueror will be born.

"STARVING AND RIOTING IN THE STREETS"
I believe no matter who wins the presidency within a year there is going to be mass civil disturbance and martial law in the United States. 


I hope and pray that I’m wrong. There is a lot I don’t know, but I do know with the economy collapsing down on us we can’t keep both our freedom and our welfare state.

Our once strong nuclear and extended family system, our once strong morals and family values, and our once fallback bartering capacity are all destroyed by this liberal created welfare state. 


Now, the only fallback way left to avoid total chaos is with the gun and martial law. No one has to believe or take me serious; I’m just one lone uneducated neurotic writer exercising his 1st amendment rights.



"A LIBERAL & WELFARE STATE DEPENDENT NIGHTMARE" I believe there is something sinister about so many people believing a tax break for the rich is something bad. 

No one should be taxed to death for government to star as super sugar daddy provider in this welfare state drama now playing. 

Our freedom and long term survival depends on government getting back to its designed role of defending the nation internally, externally, and providing only the things the citizens can’t do for themselves.

For over five thousand years governments always avoided a super provider role until recently. Then this self-destructing doomsday welfare state came about that destroys a nation's nuclear and extended family system. 


A strong nuclear and extended family system is the foundation and basic building block for any society and civilization to survive.

Our welfare state has almost destroyed our nuclear and extended family system, and no amount of money is going to save us unless we get rid of it and the minimum wage. 


Next to the welfare state I believe the minimum wage is the deadliest anti-survival threat the liberals have placed on this great nation. 

A minimum wage kills a free market place by not allowing any downward adjustment to save the system, thereby eventually forcing a total collapse.

It is like an overheated boiler with no way to turn or adjust the heat down, pow! I know my kind of thinking is scary and may seem extreme and nutty to ninety five percent of Americans. 


However, that is because I’m one of the very few that see the economy as only one leg of a four leg stool.

I understand the economy leg and its relationship to the other three legs of: The nuclear and extended family leg, the moral and family values leg, and the bartering capacity leg, which in total equals survival. 


Any leg too weak or missing will eventually cause the survival stool to collapse.A word to the wise concerning an old axiom. “Be careful what you pray for, you just might get it.” Good culture, responsibility, and accountability all goes hand in hand.

The last thing liberals and the masses of welfare state dependents want are to be held accountable without excuses, if they win; culturally speaking that is exactly what they may get and with no sympathy. Shallow spoiled Americans may be in for the wake up call of their life.



“I AM A NEUROTIC SURVIVAL” I guess I must be doing something right because I am assigning the term nemesis to someone that keep telling a neurotic joke. 

A dear beautiful charming nemesis continues to tell her neurotic joke. Being a neurotic survival I am somewhat sensitive about the joke. However, one plus is it forces me to practice my true Christian beliefs through positive thinking.

I just repeat a couple of positive thinking quotes to myself as needed: “May God bless her, or, I can wish all people goodwill no matter how they treat me.” 


Since I have the floor, let me explain the positive thinking technique. You take any short quote and repeat it to yourself fifty times or more every day to change behavior. 

Neurotics feel guilty about looking at certain things, and that creates an overpowering awareness and distraction to mental avoid looking at that thing.

All I know is the mind tries to carry out the strongest image constantly presented to it and the more you fear you are going to do something the more likely it will happen.
