Strangling Good Jobs to Death
June 15th, 2011
Over the last decade, the share of U.S. national income taken home by workers has plummeted to a record low.
As shown by the chart below the decline began with the brief recession that followed 9/11 in 2001. But it continued even as the economy picked up again, and got even worse once the Great Recession hit. In the weak recovery since then, workers’ share of income just kept on falling.
Why is this you ask? It is because there are so many complex and burdensome laws, regulations, and taxes that upstarts and smaller businesses face which prevent them from emerging as real players in the market. The established businesses like this just fine because they don’t have to change the way they do business, they’re not worried about the competition. They can get by with paying lower wages, providing fewer benefits, and employing fewer workers because the law largely prevents other businesses from challenging their position. Big Business tends to prefer economic suffering, because it helps to line their pockets, and they love to use government power to do so.
It comes down to laws and regulations that are presented to people as a safety measure, competition fairness, or as a means to protect workers. That’s not to say that all of them are bad, but this is generally the form these entitlements to companies take so that they may be easily passed. A prime example of this is Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s recent budget bill that also imposed high costs on small beer brewers at the request of a larger business in the brewing industry. These new regulations did not help or protect anyone, it just helped the larger brewers by imposing unnecessary restrictions on the smaller ones that the bigger players can easily handle.
We see this in all areas of the market, where a politician crafts a bill that is favorable towards the established businesses by making it hard for the smaller ones to compete. We must focus on simplifying laws and regulations, removing unnecessary taxes, and getting rid of regulations that are only serving to help big businesses. We’re not talking about regulations that actually protect people here, but everything else that was either implemented as a once conceived “great idea” for business flow, or to intentionally suffocate smaller businesses so they would have a disadvantage against the bigger ones. We don’t have to live in a society with stagnating wages, high unemployment, and little financial mobility, but it will be this way until we unwind the massive tangled web of laws, regulations, and taxes that prevent the average person from making something for themselves while keeping the rich at the top. Too much regulation is strangling good jobs to death.
This video below is but just a small example of what the problem is.

Valedictorian’s Speech Against Schooling
June 13th, 2011
Text of speech:
There is a story of a young, but earnest Zen student who approached his teacher, and asked the Master, “If I work very hard and diligently, how long will it take for me to find Zen? The Master thought about this, then replied, “Ten years.” The student then said, “But what if I work very, very hard and really apply myself to learn fast – How long then?” Replied the Master, “Well, twenty years.” “But, if I really, really work at it, how long then?” asked the student. “Thirty years,” replied the Master. “But, I do not understand,” said the disappointed student. “At each time that I say I will work harder, you say it will take me longer. Why do you say that?” Replied the Master, “When you have one eye on the goal, you only have one eye on the path.” Read more…

The American Dream Film
March 12th, 2011
The AMERICAN DREAM is a 30 minute animated film that shows you how you’ve been scammed by the most basic elements of our government system. All of us Americans strive for the American Dream, and this film shows you why your dream is getting farther and farther away. Do you know how your money is created? Or how banking works? Why did housing prices skyrocket and then plunge? Do you really know what the Federal Reserve System is and how it affects you every single day? THE AMERICAN DREAM takes an entertaining but hard hitting look at how the problems we have today are nothing new, and why leaders throughout our history have warned us and fought against the current type of financial system we have in America today. You will be challenged to investigate some very entrenched and powerful institutions in this nation, and hopefully encouraged to help get our nation back on track.
