A lot of people are having trouble with this math problem that requires some basic algebra
This is interesting and also shows you how basic skills need to be retained for life, and exercised somewhat. The fact we went from 80 percent to 60 shows our glorious education system is not working.
When inflation, devaluation and debt repudiation became so huge the French issued new money. One new franc was equal to ten old francs. Which still left the problem of the elderly and those on unfunded retirement programs. Waking up to find your $5,000 a month reitement income had become $500.00 but the loaf of bread at $2.00 new money wa still $20 old money. was a hard choice and it did bring on fixed prices on staple items. If $5.00 was chosen as the price for a loaf of bread it was still five times greater or put another way the buying power was now 20% of that planned for. So far ours has taken around a one third not an eighty percent cut with no COLA adjustment.
That's just the first go round. At some point those debt notes will come due from the last bail out. The old folks still can't work even assuming there were jobs. Military get job preference for many situations. That 30% I mentioned in the initial presentation of the end user consumption tax will be forced up at least to 50%. When it reaches the same amount as the present system - why bother changing? At some point the debt will be so huge there will cease to be a point to even pretend to pay it off. other than by stealing from not only Grandpa and Grandma's retirement account but for the worker bees of ALL income levels as welll through inflation, devaluation and debt repudiation. That last means when they cause a decrease in buyiut they do not repay and do it openlyng power they don't count it in COLA. They steal but do not repay the theft knowing you will still vote for them.
Therefore I propose anyone who votes for Trump or Hillary the two remaining socialists be dubbed the Dumb Ass Party the perfect name for the combination of Republicans and Democrats.
Margaret Thatcher first said, "Socialism works until you run out of Other Peoplel's Money."
Nancy Pelosi is thought to have said but some attribute this to Clinton and Reid - "Then you take the rest of what they have as long as we pay the Protective Echelon first. Homeland "Security is not for everyone."
Can you run a truck on nine tires instead of 18?
If the vehicle is traveling at 50mph in relationship to the road how fast is the tire moving?
Therefore there is no income tax at any percentage including Flat Tax.
The major difference between a small reduction in gross tax paid is in the area of control.
Income tax is confiscatory or as I put it fascist in nature Government decides and it varies only as a function of your salary as it changes.
End User consumption tax citizen end consumer decides what and when to buy or not to buy and in what price range.
Government is not allowed to go into deficit except for declared wars or natural katrina style disasters. Those two costs are automatically the top of the list for next years budget.
Entitlements are phased out and the nearest thing go an income tax is phased in. 5% minimum for retirement NOT in a government controlled but in a controlled account. So no IOUs.
One additional would be medical care account at 5% minimum
The only deduction is the Right To Life the amount needed to survive. Government has zero right to take that which is needed to survive.
That's it.
Government takes what comes in through auto matic cash register transfers end of day, week month whatever.
That's what they get to spend. If they want more money they have to improve the market place not put more chains on it.
BUTthey retain the basic duties of military and police, judicial, and setting standards The unit that sets standards recommends congress approves, judicial handles any court issues, LEA enforces in separate branches.
Nets out at an immediate 30% reduction in government employees. Watchi me cry ha ha
Set it up and include the units, which multiply or divide just like everything else (most non-engineers don’t realize this—in case non-nerds are looking), the answer is:
9 chickens × 9 days × (1½ eggs/1½ chickens)/1½ days
Rewriting, bunching the numbers and bunching unit pairs together:
9 × 9 × (1½/1½)/1½ × eggs × chickens/chickens × days/days
Consider that a/a = 1 for all values of a, including units (non-zero, finite values).
1½/1½ = 1, chickens/chickens = 1, and days/days =1
So far:
9 × 9 × (1)/1½ × eggs × 1 × 1
Multiplying by 1 doesn’t change a value, and rewriting 1½ as an improper fraction of 3/2:
9 × 9 × 1/(3/2) × eggs
Consider that to divide by a fraction, you multiply by its reciprocal. Or 1/(a/b) = b/a
We’re down to 9 × 2/3 of 9 in units of eggs. 2/3 of 9 is 6.
9×6 eggs = 54 eggs.
QED (Quite Easily Derived). Maybe its Quod Erat Demonstrandum.
Maybe it is the difference between actual instance of some action which would be considered to be the cause in that instance as to a general situation where something occurs and something not involved in the action is considered to be the cause of the action, something like the cause of cancer is water since water is involved in every person who gets cancer but really is correlation.
To keep from going crazy, perhaps it is best in most cases to just say consistency is a necessary and sufficient condition for existence. If it exists it is consistent and if it is consistent it exists. A little difficult there for mental patterns though they too do not exist unless consistent whether chemical or some other process and must be non-contradictory.
When they call the hoards of people wanting to buy something and sell something, aka a market, a "system" it sounds like the person talking wants to control it. It implies there are a set of specs that someone else wrote defining desires outcomes, rather than just whatever people feel willing to part with their money for.
This is a pet peeve for me. Thanks for listening to my rant.
