Community Organizing: Coming to Your Neighborhood

Here come the tax increases. This is great. We are finally going to start spreading the wealth around and it is not a minute too late. If you make a lot of dough you are going to be taxed more on your income, your health benefits and you are going to lose your deductions for almost anything that you haven’t previously lost your deductions for. This is great. The solution to America’s problems – uncompetitiveness in world economic markets, lots of protected and overpaid union workers in private and public jobs, no real manufacturing left in the country, huge imbalance between exports and imports, really big time federal debt and government ownership/control of major financial and other businesses. The solution is taxes on the higher wage earners. Makes sense to TheFundamentals. We can tax our way to competitiveness. Tax increases coupled with the current really successful spending programs which are creating jobs and big time increases in output and income and exports. This is just too much to grasp. This is really good stuff. More government spending and more taxes and more of everything for everyone.

Here is how it is going to work. If we keep taxing the higher earners then they will become lower wage earners after taxes. They will say, “Oh man. This is great. The more I work and earn the more I get to pay in taxes.” Gradually a few may even start to work and earn less. This is the good news because then the ones who already work less and earn less will start to work harder and work more. They will start to make more and pay more in taxes because they will clearly want to get into those higher tax brackets. See this is how the spreading the wealth around works. You take it from the higher income workers and discourage them because this encourages the lower income earners because they suddenly see the opportunity to move up. We all know that when you’re hanging out with your friends you really feel good about bragging about how much in taxes you are paying. These economic fundamentals and programs are well discussed and debated at places like the Chicken Shack on the south side of Chicago. These programs may come to known as Chicken Shack Economics. Don’t be surprised if the next Nobel Economic Award goes to another graduate of the Chicken Shack curriculum.

So, we have to hand it to the community organizer for his wisdom and foresight to realize that the answer to creating jobs and making America more competitive in the world marketplace is to raise taxes on the higher earners who tend to be the job creators because they tend to own the smaller and mid size businesses that tend to be wealth creators and, therefore, job creators. Nowhere but in the rare and magnificent combination of community organizing and machine politics can you find this combination of good Chicken Shack economic policy, focused and value based government spending, competitive wage and benefit and pension programs and the really insightful leadership of academics and unemployed former politicians in cushy advisor jobs and running councils and committees and czarships. The czarships are something new. Boy have they ever produced spectacular results. Czarships are proven to be so beneficial that TheFundamentals may have to do a special czarship essay. Can’t wait to cover all the good news from those geniuses.

We are so grateful for everything, Mr. Organizer. Please sir, may we have another.
