  1. +Galimah Income tax isn't the only tax we pay. You have sales tax, property
    tax, fuel tax etc. Lots of other taxes. Every license of any kind is a tax.
    A driver license is a tax, registering your license plate, hunting license,
    fishing license, gun license etc. They're all taxes. And there are tons of
    taxes that businesses pay. Not just multiple business licenses that are
    required, but you also have inventory tax, use tax, employment tax etc. We
    are taxed to death.

  2. >>>>>>> Economy encapsulate both, then you have a company trying to make
    wealth for its own, and a gov that regulates that with taxes, so people
    gets part of the production back, and make wealth gain more equall (the
    more the company gets, the more that region also gets) throught the basic
    needs. There is where social programs get into this, and this is the point
    where we stop.

  3. that is where we get outside economy facts.Security depends on social
    facts: if there are no thieves/murderers/criminals in general, security
    becomes useless and ceases as a need. Same happens with stuff like
    entertaiment, or any need that is not a basic need. You are inserting human
    nature into economy and mixing it up.Social facts does affect economy
    facts, but when analyzing one, don't mix it with others, that will lead to
    confusion. Economy is based on needs, society is based on human nature

  4. why american people jointly decide to not pay any taxes. why do you call
    america the biggest democratic country when the whole country is hacked by
    bankers gang? even american people used to consider them selves as
    developed and advanced civilization. americans are no better conditions
    then the african slaves were before 100 years.

  5. Economics, from my POV, is the study of how human beings voluntarily
    increase their wealth, known as utility. The destruction of a house, or a
    factory, is the decreasing of such wealth and utility; a person doesn't buy
    a house to have a house, but because they plan on using that house for
    storage, sleeping, shelter, privacy etc. When it comes to trade, a person
    buys to satisfy a want, and does so with what they produced. Hence, more
    wants can only be realized with increased production.

  6. another fact, is that Japan's economy raised after the last earthquake,
    more than it was before it, and got stable again in just 3 months, which
    also proves how a country learns to be stable after a dissaster, and makes
    a country more solid. Not saying that all of this is good or should happen
    often, i wish there was no need of this, as i wish a bunch of things, but
    thats how economy works, period.

  7. it is profitable for those that produces metal, cloth, medicine, food, and
    so on, is something that everyone with a little sense of the economy knows,
    war is profitable in many many ways. If you blow down a building, there
    will be people selling you the mats to rebuild it, then people working to
    build it each time you blow the building, that means profit for them, in
    this case, for the banks who provides the money to the gov. getting the
    interest and the money back later, provided by the people.

  8. Down? Down where? You think it's going to be like Somalia or something?
    Listen here, you idiot: This system got me RICH and we're not changing it.
    End of conversation.

  9. Hey Troll, if you're here to pretend to be politically correct, falsely
    raise yourself as a self-righteous person and glorify yourself on, find a
    forum, blog or facebook to do it in. I was only talking about how every
    economist views slight inflation to be a good thing as it promotes
    circulation of money.

  10. obviously, there are other factors that arent covered (ie security) but
    this other needs are more society-related than economy related (people
    gathers to live near each other to take care of each other, there is no
    need to trade, its security x security, as when you play with another
    person, its fun x fun) you wont have a reason to trade if you have your
    needs covered by yourself, means no benefits from any trade.

    @thebalancedamerican and what do you suppose QE3 is? You realize that any
    money printed goes through a banks hand before it reaches the public? The
    fed is the elites along with the international bankers. They possess the
    power to print unlimited money.. And this doesn't feed into conspiracy?
    Wake up to the lies my friend. Watch some illuminati and nwo vids. Watch
    jfk illuminati speech. Explains why he was assassinated (on the ground of
    the first masonic temple location conveniently..)

  13. overstated? quite possibly. I think most conspiracy theories are,
    unfortunately, people trying to find logic behind an illogical move, which
    leads to people assuming evil rather than stupidity. Regardless, whether
    stupid or evil, it is ruinous, and the FED should be stopped from
    influencing the money supply.

  14. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different
    results. (Einstein). Don't count on political leaders to solve anything.
    They are puppets of banks and corporations.

  15. need exists, but economics is about the production of goods/services to
    satisfy those needs. And, as your example with the Ipad and cellphones,
    there must first be production to satisfy current needs and allows new ones
    for satisfaction.

  16. The economy is nothing more than all the people who participate in it.
    Everything used during war and to rebuild after a disaster would have been
    used elsewhere. The economy is not based on "need"; it is based what can be
    produced. The realization of more needs, more demand, is only possible
    after production has increased to satisfy the need that exists; just look
    at the difference between Haiti and the U.S. CONTINUED

  17. There is a documentary of the two former IRS agents from this video. It
    goes into detail about the 16th Amendment and how it isn't legal
    whatsoever.

    I sure do. Send me your email in a private message, It send you Friedman's
    book, "A Program for Monetary Stability." I usually suggest this book
    because Friedman writes in a non-academic prose that is easy to follow. He
    covers the basic function of the Fed, an abridged history of money, the
    gold standard, and possible solutions to Fractional Reserve Lending. =D
    Yes, the Fed is essentially a non-profit organization. It is really a
    brilliant system,but it's also unnecessary if we end FRL. =/
