Having Children causes Global Warming as the leading cause of 58.6% | Armstrong Economics

I understand some people just don’t want to believe that all this Global Warming is a ploy because they know the bulk of society is just too stupid or naive to understand they are being manipulated. A number of people do not want to believe the secret agenda is to reduce population growth. Here it is in black and white published in Canada. They argue that the #1 way to prevent climate change is to STOP having children!!!!!! This kind of attitude makes me feel I should be doing my part and have more children again. There is something seriously wrong with these people. They claim that not even having a car contributes to only 2.4% reduction in CO2. The biggest decrease in CO2 is to stop having children which would reduce it by 58.6%. My vote would be for euthanasia and we start with those who advocate not having children and we just correct the mistake their parents made, to begin with. I think the planet will be much safer without them. I would bet the way they see it, you have no kids so they can. Until the herd of sheep wake up and realize they are being fed propaganda for an alternative reality show playing in their minds, we are doomed. The French rebellion over taxes on fuel is a Global Warming Tax. So Macron backed off of the fuel tax. To show this is just an excuse for Global Warming and the real objective is to grab more money, Macron’s government indicated earlier that it could also amend a wealth tax raising it to make up the difference. So again, this is all about money.

California to Tax Texting from Your Phone | Armstrong Economics

I have constantly warned after dealing with governments first hand for over 30 years, they NEVER see the problem as being them – it is always we the people. Their fiscal mismanagement is beyond repair and we should not expect anything other than death and taxes. You work your entire life and then want to retire and they still want taxes on your retirement funds. Then you die and they rush in to grab what is left. Even the Mafia had more respect for the people than those in government. I drew this cartoon years ago and it remains valid to this day. The latest proposal in California as the state spirals toward insolvency in the year ahead is to constantly come up with new things to tax. They are already at the highest personal income tax rate in the country – 13.5%. They wanted to tax space shots per mile they traveled into the sky. What’s next? Imposing a tax per child you give birth to? How about taxing clean air? The government has become an organized crime. If you do not pay, they confiscate everything you have and will often throw you in prison. Not even the Mafia will treat you that ruthlessly. This latest scheme is a never-ending plot to tax anything and everything they can possibly think of. California is doomed. They never consider really looking at the trend in motion and where does this all lead. All they consider is they are broke right now so just raise taxes to get by for another quarter.

France Has the Highest Tax Rate in the Industrialized World & Worst Investment Record in Europe | Armstrong Economics

What is really amazing is how governments just fail to comprehend that revolution is instigated by corruption and taxes. Nevertheless, they just can’t help themselves. They have to keep taking cookies from the jar until it is empty and then act surprised what the people suddenly rise up. France tops the list of the highest taxed people in the Industrialized World. The French historically have a lower threshold for taxes than most others in Europe. Many people thought the Greeks would rise up. They laid down. Then they thought the Italian will rise up. Just not yet, but they will follow the lead of the French. Revolution seems to become possible once you cross the 40% mark. The austerity policies in Europe are only making matters far worse. There is a SUBSTANTIAL difference between a Sovereign Debt Crisis and a Hyperinflation. The former is where you bought $10,000 worth of government debt and they say forget it – we refuse to pay. That provokes violence and civil war. Then you have the hyperinflation route. This produces economic struggles but it does NOT lead to civil war. They promised you a pension of whatever of $10,000 and they pay it. Like Venezuela, that amount will no longer buy even two cups of coffee. They paid so you get a different result historically. Tax rebellions are DEFLATIONARY because it reduces the disposable income. The economy declines the higher the tax rate. This is also why you are witnessing the uprising in France. This is why inflation has been so hard to create even with Quantitative Easing (QE). The more you inject cash should be inflationary under the Quantity Theory of Money, but then they raise taxes and nobody looks at the disposable income. If disposable income declines, then all the QE cannot create inflation. What you get is a tax rebellion that can lead to civil war. The stock market has still not exceeded the 2000 high. This chart alone shows the impact of socialism.

This is what happens when the government sucks up all the money from the private sector.

An 80-Year Harvard Study Found the Greatest Predictor of Happiness in Later Life

What is happiness? It’s one of those questions that science just can’t answer. Or at least, that’s what we would have thought. But since 1938, a group of researchers at Harvard has been working away at the problem through a generation-spanning study of several hundred American men.
