Bubble UP! Economics:

LOWER Taxes on 99% of Americans and Actually Collect Taxes on the Top 1%... The Total Will Remain the Same! We The People Will Spend that Extra Money in Our Paychecks and it will BUBBLE UP! Throughout The Entire Economy. All Boats Float in a Rising Tide!

Even if Billionaires Pay Taxes, They'll Still be Billionaires! With Increased Sales Due to the BUBBLING Economy, Profits Will Increase... Making Stockholders Happy... EVERYONE WINS! Including Jeff Bezos Because We'll be Buying Stuff at Amazon!

Meme that fits the
FaceBORG - My Story

How Does Bubble Up Economics Work? Raise Wages and People Will Spend the Money at American Businesses. Increasing Profits. Everyone Wins! Raise Social Security Checks TOO!

With a $15.00 an Hour Minimum Wage people will have

money to spend on things that they cannot afford to

buy now. The Money will BUBBLE UP Through Out the

Entire Economy. Corporations will get more sales...

More Profits... and they will have to HIRE more employees

to handle the increased business. More Stock Clerks,

More Cashiers, More Truck Drivers... and those people

will spend their paychecks at American Businesses...

all boats rise on a tide... Employers Win, Employees

Win, Stockholders Win...

Rant on Facebook and Twitter...

What we need to do is spread valid ideas in order to

counteract the propaganda spewed by Corporate

"Think Tanks" like The Cato Institute or The Heritage

Foundation... They will make up any story to enrich

the Upper Class.

They work on the Backwards-World Scientific Principle...

Write conclusions first then find "Facts" to support

what they want to sell.

Real Science collects Facts first, then looks at them to

find conclusion. The exact opposite to Cato &

Heritage...

What IS Bubble UP Economics and How Does it Work? Simply LOWER Taxes on 99% of Americans and Actually Collect Taxes on the Top 1%... The Total Will Remain the Same! We The People Will Spend that Extra Money in Our Paychecks and it will BUBBLE UP! Throughout The Entire Economy. All Boats Float in a Rising Tide!

Then Raise the Minimum Wage to Fifteen Dollars an Hour and Raise all Social Security Checks 15%. All Those people will spend the extra money at American Businesses. Increasing Profits. Making Stockholders Happy! Then those businesses will have to hire more people to handle the extra Customers. Decreasing Unemployment Insurance Payments. Everybody WINS! With EMPLOYMENT AT A JOB becoming a Viable Alternative to Selling Drugs for a Street Gang, Some teenagers will choose Employment... Reducing CRIME... Reducing Costs for Prisons... Reducing Costs for Law Enforcement... People will buy more food for their Children. Causing Better Health and Smarter Kids... Starvation is Not Good for Children's Brains... Farmers will sell More. Truckers will move more merchandise to stores. Increased Competition for Workers will cause Everybody's Wages to Go Up. All those Workers will pay more in Income Taxes... That would make the Government happy... Right NOW, we are having a National Debt Ceiling Crisis because the Government is Spending More that it Takes in with Taxes... Bubble UP Economics would reverse that trend... The Money Bubbles UP Through Every Layer of Society... With a rising tide, every boat floats! We Tried Ronald Reagan's "Voodoo" Economics and It Has Failed... "People" Say That Bubble UP! Economics WILL MAKE Employers LAY OFF Workers... However... Employers HAVE ALREADY LAID OFF EVERYONE THEY POSSIBLY CAN... Have you Ever Seen a Business where People Work There but Have Nothing To DO? Never!

Who Could Possibly be Opposed to the JOY of Bubble UP! Economics? Well, there are people in this world that have COMPULSIVE HOARDING OF MONEY SYNDROME. It's a Mental Health Disease just Like The Crazy Cat Lady...

Great Books: The Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey - Illustrated by Robert Crumb - The Classic Novel That Inspired People to Form the Earth First! Ecology Group...

Read it and be inspired too.

Here is an Excerpt from the Book... as they look at the Peabody Open Pit Coal Mine in Utah.

"Parking in the shade and concealment of a group of pinyon pines, the gang took a walk up the nearest knoll, armed with field glasses.

Their view from the knoll would be difficult to describe in any known terrestrial language. Bonnie thought of something like a Martian invasion, the War of the Worlds. Captain Smith was reminded of Kennecott's open-pit mine ("world's largest") near Magma, Utah. Dr. Sarvis thought of the plain of fire and of the oligarchs and oligopoly beyond: Peabody Coal only one arm of Anaconda Copper; Anaconda only a limb of United States Steel; U.S. Steel intertwined in incestuous embrace with the Pentagon, TVA, Standard Oil, General Dynamics, Dutch Shell, I. G. Farben-industrie; the whole conglomerated cartel spread out upon half the planet Earth like a global kraken, pan-tentacled, wall eyed and parrot beaked, its brain a bank of computer data centers, its blood the flow of money, its heart a radioactive dynamo, its language the technetronic monologue of numbers printed on magnetic tape.

But George Washington Hayduke, his thought was the clearest and simplest: Hayduke thought of Vietnam.

Peering thru the dust, the uproar, the movement, they could make out a pit two hundred feet deep, four hundred feet wide, a mile long, walled on one side by a seam of coal, where power shovels, ten stories high, as Smith had said, gouged at the earth, ripped the fossil rock from its matrix of soil and sandstone, dumped it in ten ton bites into the beds of haulers. Beyond the first machine, in a farther pit, they saw the top of a boom, the cables and pulley wheel of another alien invader at work, digging itself in deep, almost out of view. To the south they saw a third machine, bigger yet: it did not roll on wheels like a truck, or on endless treads like a tractor, but "walked" one foot at a time, towards its goal. The feet were a pair of steel base plates resembling pontoons, each as big as a boat, lifted first one, then the other, on eccentric gears, rotated forward, placed down and the cycle repeated. Waddling forward, ducklike, the enormous structure of powerhouse, control chassis, superstructure, crane, cables and ore bucket yawed from side to side. Like a factory walking. The machine was electrically powered; as it proceeded a seperate crew of men handled its umbilicus the power line, an "extension cord" thick as a man's thigh through which throbbed the voltage driving the engines in the powerhouse - enough juice, its builders liked to boast, to light a city of 90,000 humans. The cable crew, four men with truck, kept the line clear and also towed the transformer unit, mounted on an iron sledge, keeping pace with the dragline machine. Giant Earth Mover: the GEM of Arizona.

We are so small thought Bonnie. They are so huge. "

Great Book: "The Common Good" by Robert Reich

From the best-selling author of Saving Capitalism and The Work of Nations, a passionate, clear-eyed manifesto on why we must restore the idea of the common good to the center of our economics and politics.

With the warmth and lucidity that have made him one of our most important public voices, Robert B. Reich makes the case for a generous, inclusive understanding of the American project, centering on the moral obligations of citizenship. Rooting his argument in everyday reality and common sense, Reich demonstrates the existence of a common good, and argues that it is this that defines a society or a nation. Societies and nations undergo virtuous cycles that reinforce and build the common good, as well as vicious cycles that undermine it. Over the course of the past five decades, Reich contends, America has been in a slowly accelerating vicious cycle--one that can and must be reversed. But first we need to weigh what really matters, and how we as a country should relate to honor, shame, patriotism, truth, and the meaning of leadership.
Powerful, urgent, and utterly vital, this is a heartfelt missive from one of our foremost political thinkers: a fundamental statement about the purpose of society and a cri de coeur to save America's soul.

Who is the Great America Alliance? The creators of the Attack Ad against Special Counsel Robert Mueller?

The Ad tries to make Robert Mueller seem to be a bad man for investigating the Trump/Russia connection. It appears that since they cannot attack the substance of the investigation they attack the messenger instead... Trump sure is behaving like someone who is guilty of something... I'll be glad when he has to resign in disgrace or be Impeached. This AD is classic MKULTRA mind control brainwashing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Mueller

Robert Swan Mueller III /ˈmʌlər/ (born August 7, 1944) is an American lawyer and civil servant who was the sixth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, serving from September 4, 2001, to September 4, 2013. A Republican, he was appointed by President George W. Bush and his original ten-year term was given a two-year extension by President Barack Obama, making him the longest-serving FBI director since J. Edgar Hoover.
A graduate of Princeton University, Mueller served as a Marine Corps officer during the Vietnam War, receiving the Bronze Star Medal with Combat "V" for heroism and the Purple Heart Medal. After graduating from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1973, he worked at a private firm in San Francisco for three years until his appointment as an assistant U.S. Attorney in the same city. Prior to his appointment as FBI director, Mueller served as a United States Attorney, as assistant attorney general for the Criminal Division and as acting deputy attorney general.
He earned a reputation as a no-nonsense, straight-laced attorney and investigator, as well as the nickname "Bobby Three Sticks"—a nod to his suffix.^[2]^[3]^[4] Lauded for his non-partisan and non-political approach, he has been credited with transforming the FBI from an agency primarily focused on law enforcement into one of the world's top organizations handling counterespionage and counterterrorism.^[5]
On May 17, 2017, Mueller was appointed by the Justice Department as special counsel, overseeing the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections and related matters.
