Steve’s Barking; The 2/10 of a percent solution for healthcare

 In the United States, there is a great shortage of nurses and doctors and hospital beds. We need the nurses the doctors and the hospital beds. In order to have a decent healthcare system. Now it’s got to be paid for so the solution to that is a 2/10 of a percent on every item sold. It’s not just the 2/10 of a percent a2/10 of a percent on the end product but every thing that is sold in America that’s the batteries that are sold to General Motors and for their cars. The cars are then sold to dealerships, with a 2/10 of a percent on the price of the car to the wholesaler ( the dealership). Now the dealerships has a 2/10th of a percent on the price of the car sold. Every step of the way to the final sold item 2/10 of a percent is taken out and put into a healthcare fund so that we can have a better health care system with more doctors and nurses and hospital beds with the minimum effect on the consumer and only a small effect on the sellers. The other thing is that foreign sellers have to pay the 2/10 of a percent of what they sell in the United State to be put into the healthcare system, as not to give an unfair advantage to foreign sellers. 

Now the 2/10 of percent can be used in other countries to help there health system, because as far as I can tell, no country has a adequate healthcare system with adequate doctors, nurses and hospital beds. They can use this 2/10 of a percent to bolster up their healthcare systems

Steve’s Barking; How does the Fed raising interest rates contribute to inflation .🀷‍♂️

 The conventional wisdom is to fight. Inflation is to raise interest rates by the Fed. Now it is my firm belief that raising interest rates does just the opposite. How might one might ask, is that possible after all doesn’t history tell us that the way to fight inflation is to raise interest rates?. Isn’t it true that there is too much money in circulation? * No history doesn’t take into account other things that were going on. In the United States during the Reagan administration, new ways of taking oil from the ground what is the real reason that inflation cool down not the raising of interest rates by the Volker Fed. Reason Germany inflation during the 20s stopped was because of the stopping of reparations. ** the problem with the idea of too much money in circulation is that the wrong people are getting this money not that there is too much money in circulation. 
Now one might ask how can the Fed raising interest rate lead to higher inflation? Easy the cost of raising money goes up ( money inflation). Too many of America’s businesses get by with short term borrowing , to meet there expenses they have raise their  prices or cut their work force.  This will cut the productivity of the business, cutting the productivity of will reduce the product, even if the product is services. The reduction of product means less goods and services from that business multiple that by how many businesses offer the same product. The product if need would raise the cost of said product. Multiply that by many products and you get a viscous cycle of inflation.

Steve’s Barking; There’s a political civil war right now!

 There’s a political Civil War going on right now. No I’m not talking about Republicans versus Democrats. No I’m talking about the crazy Democrats who think they know it all and yet they know nothing and attack those old (not) so wise Democrats. I’m also talking about the old-time Republicans who run away from the new, new Republicans and the old party is being destroyed by the mega Republicans. As you may know or if you don’t know, this is Civil War going on in each of the real parties in America. The fact of the matter is that the new, Republican and the new Democrats are splitting their parties apart. So in the eyes of this blogger, we’re having a civil war already, and with almost all upheavals anarchy prevails. Perhaps the Civil War’s that are going on in the political parties will spill over to the whole country, making those who don’t believe in government very happy.

Steve’s Barking; The super rich were never poor. Really?

 Yea the top rich entrepreneurs* came from mostly the upper middle class, who were given an advantage over those who came from the lower and no income households but there are problem with that reasoning. (1) Most of the billionaire entrepreneurs are asset rich and cash poor. (They get there money from selling their assets, or borrowing against their assets **). (2) One can easily easily say their are their are extremely rich people who come from the bottom of the economic society such as Mr. Carter better known as JZ, Sean, Puff Daddy, Combs, and last, but not least Oprah Winfrey. ( These are examples of extremely rich who didn’t come from rich or upper middle class).

* The examples that are used to by those who are Elon Musk ( Father Gem Merchant) Mark Zuckerberg( I believe his pops was a dentist) and Bill Gates ( My understanding his father was an engineer).

The reason I’m writing this rant is I keep hearing these self righteous upper middle class influencers making fun the American story ( perhaps in some cases a fable) rags to riches.

** Off topic those who borrow against there assets and show no or very little income perhaps should be taxed as though this was income.

# There seems to be an understanding that ( true or false) that most of the rich inherited their money ( example the Waltons)

Steve’s Barking; A taxing problem for Donald Trump

 The question being is it correct for Donald Trump to give his tax papers over to the congressional committee? Now I don’t have a true answer, but it’s always been my belief that a persons tax papers was a matter between the taxpayer and the IRS. It’s kind of like a priest in a confessional. Now if it’s true, what I believe in then nobody should have to turn their tax papers in to any law enforcement body.


.


If a person is a drug dealer, they could put it on the tax forms as long as it is accounts for the money they have. This is what I was taught to believe but then again, I could be wrong.
