Tax Plans Only Part of the Solution

As Trump (and others) talks tax-reform it is important to know that rate reductions, though significant, are only part of the solution. True, taxation often works to counter economic development, the rise of which (tax rates) follows growth in government which then trends toward economic deceleration; the facts are undeniable.

In order to trigger an economic resurgence it is insufficient to merely reduce “rates” as this action does nothing to address what occurs with the funds retained that would have otherwise gone to government coffers. The solution is to tether Corporate Tax Rates to a scale that is based on their investment in Domestic Productive Capacity and in the Technology Development that makes use of it.

Putin’s Magnificent Obsession vs. Obama’s Deliberate Indifference

Where geo-political order is of interest the presence of leadership is required; conflict occurs where there is no such presence of leadership. Whether a nation-state or a regime-like horde, the spark of insanity is always driven by its predatory nature of self-interest/preservation leaving the only viable option to this form of lunacy being the opposing influence of leadership; remove it and you’ve certain chaos.

Pope Francis Understands The Founding Ideal

Whatever one’s opinion might be of Pope Francis’ message before Congress – on substantive issue I confess a few conflicts – he clearly is a companion to a key foundation of the Founding American Ideal.  The “unalienable” rights implicitly accompanying each human being and by extension the sacred duty of those, to which the consenting governed charge their elected officials, to fully express.

In his, Pope Francis’, own words: “Called to defend and preserve the dignity of your fellow citizens in the tireless and demanding pursuit of the common good.” The “good” that is “common” to all is the very Ideal the Founding Fathers expressed; those truths which we hold to be self-evident; life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness which, as you know, are not a function of government but decidedly despite governance.
