Middle-Out Economics-The Mechanism For A Flowing And Fruitful Economy: Neither Top-Down Economics , nor "Robin Hood" or the Economics of Redistribution to the Poor, can do the same.

Middle-Out Economics is the mechanism to start, and grow a flowing and fruitful economy, and keep it going.  Neither Top-Down Economics , nor "Robin Hood" or the Economics of Redistribution to the Poor, can do the same.

A flow never works well, top to bottom, or bottom to top, as in linear, but good circulation, as the word suggests, needs a track that is circular.

I will not delve too much into and address Redistribution Of Wealth to the Poor, and why on so many levels, including how it works against developing a responsible society, it is not wise.

I have exhausted it, and touched on it again, last week I believe. Liberals love it. But it does not create that flow we are looking for on a large, continuous, scale. Money goes out, but it is not replenished, at least not quickly enough. If the system does not create avenues to bless all, it is not as compassionate as some believe. 

It is good to give to the Poor. It is better to make a way to always have to give. When we give, not redistribute, but give, it must be in conjunction with another system that will guarantee that continuum we need and are looking for, that makes for a great economy. The best way to ensure that, and the best system is one that is Middle-Out, and focuses on and runs everything through the Middle-Class.

It is not that the Middle-Class is more generous, moral, reasonable, or more deserving than any other class of people. But when it comes to governing and passing laws that will keep the economy moving, and circulating such that money, jobs, and opportunities; the life force of an economy, hits every part and aspect of society, and every class of people, be it the Poor, Rich, Working, or Business Classes, Middle-Out works best.

The Middle Class is best to focus on and to stabilize any economy, because they HAVE to spend, but while also being able to save, and handle emergencies, and splurge on luxuries, without the help of government and borrowing. They pay taxes on what they have to or choose to buy, and also because they HAVE to continue to work as well, the economy and government gets that tax money too.

We can see that the Middle Class, especially the Working Middle Class, adds much to the economy and the entire nation, while taking very little. Their spending helps the Rich and Business Classes to expand, and gives them reason to hire more. And the taxes of that spending helps all the government, including to do better for government employees, and also to hire more of them.

Government employees are also a part of the Middle-Class mostly. But their salaries are liabilities to the country, or local government/economy. Therefore, government jobs are less desirable as a main focus, the way the Middle-Class derived from the private sector would be. However, using private business Middle-Class jobs to generate money to create government jobs is better than paying unemployment, where there is nothing flowing back.

The money from private sector jobs becomes a way to help from paying for unemployment and other benefits that do not add to us, or at least helps keeps the percentage low, by replacing it with the ability to provide jobs, and so these other benefits, less needful. And them also, the money, that again that Middle-Class HAS to spend, is the money by which the government can fund programs like Welfare, Unemployment, Farm Aid Medicaid, Medicare, Senior Services, and all other necessary social economic programs for the Poor, and those in need of help in other ways, like our Seniors, Children, Disabled, and Veterans, for examples. Sometimes money is not exactly what all of these need, but what they do need still takes money.

Top-Down Economics in theory does work. In theory only, and not in application and in abundance. Human error and a lack of fairness, exactly what is fair and right, and generous, by some was not accounted for in the theory.

These, the Rich and Wealthy, can afford to sit on things and hoard or save all their money, and not improve or expand or spend, if they do not want to, and do all sorts of other things that will not help the rest of the people. Not that all Rich people would or do act this way. We do not speak ill of them all. We are only making general statements as to why for practical purposes, it is not wise for any government to run an economy using Top-Down Economic principles.

I so love President Ronald Reagan, but he was wrong, or at least did not think it all out fully. I would have told him so at the time, but no one asked me. #AChildShallLead :)

Outside of taxing the Rich what we all are taxed for (and I still believe the brackets and what we call earnings has to be revisited, and there should be Tax Reform), to pay for the General Welfare, the poor in general, and use of resources including human, and infrastructure, we can not force the Rich and Top Wealthy to do anything. Not only is it wrong for the many reasons listed above. But it also stifles the creativity and instincts of those that are Rich, and proven and are good, from distributing the right way, and their good plans.

We must consider every angle, and begin to think and apply with pin-point accuracy.

Some, who did not before, are starting to get the "whats" and "whys" of Middle-Out, and why it is best. But some are still forgetting that there is a segment of the Business Class that also fits in to this Middle-Class category. We have to be careful not to lump all businesses together.

These Small and Mid-Size companies have loads of potential, but need a fighting chance and room to grow. Where as the Middle-Class created by government jobs are slightly less desirable because they are a liability, the Middle Class of the Business Class is slightly more desirable than the Working Class because these too, HAVE to spend, and they take all the risks without relying on government, but they do it on both the personal and business side, AND they employee. The only negative is that many times they do have to borrow, and they could fail, and make it. So their risk side is more than the worker that works for one of the larger tried and true companies. But once upon a time, those companies that are Big, tried and true now, were the Small, and Mid-Sized companies of yesterday. Remember when every one was saying what the hell is a Google or how do I do it? (That still sounds dirty to me. I think those Silicon Valley dudes did it purposely :)

With all these things said, I end with these last four thoughts.

One. There is nothing stopping any Rich person, who feels they need more taken from them and given to others, from giving more on their own, even to the charities of Government and the IRS. If there is something stopping that from happening, then that is the first Economic Reform and Tax Reform change that needs to be made.

Two. I do charge and challenge the Rich and Wealthy, and remind them of the truth.

1 Timothy 6:17
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

Three. The Church, all Religious Organizations, and all non profits that we allow not to pay taxes must do a better job of doing the things that you are supposed to, and the reasons that you are not taxed. That alone would be a mighty burden off the Government that has to fund everything, especially those social economic programs I mentioned.  That was always the point of not taxing these entities. In this, you would be like the Middle-Class in that you would add much, and subtract very little.

Some non profits, including the Church and Religious Assemblies, have forgotten (though not all), why they do not get taxed in the first place, and then double dip; non profit tax status, and government grants to do what essentially the nation is already paying you to do. Yeah! I said it.

Four. We are all in this together. Everyone has to do their part, and do their best, from every level, and for every level.

The Middle-Class are the mechanisms that cause all economies to flow and to subsequently bless every part and member of the Corporate man of America and would of any community or nation, because by definition they HAVE to and have the ABILITY to give and be replenished. No other group can say the same. This entire system is called # Middle-Out Economics.

Middle-Out works. The Middle-Class must be the focus. It is not political. It is just right, as in correct. In addition to all the other virtues detailed above, it allows also for that elusive upward mobility, too. And of course for the American Dream also to continue and be achieved by some and more than with any other system, by creating the best chance for opportunity; not redistribution, and not hoarding, for all.

Middle-Out is the way to go.
