The Price Demand Curve

As prices rise, demand vanishes. We have reached that point because of government subsidies for healthcare and education.  We have also reached that point with the price we pay for government.  The value of these industries has also diminished because of government involvement. 

Education in the US was better before government got involved.  We were the most literate and the most successful country in the world when we home schooled and hired tutors. Education has turned into political indoctrination and social engineering and has abandoned basic education. 

Healthcare was more productive and less expensive before government “provided” Medicare.  There have been no major advances or cures since the 1950s. 

Of all the power grabs by government, Social Security, a Ponzi scheme, is now the most necessary. But if we had been allowed to deposit our 15% each year to a Personal Account in an Index Fund and Fixed Return, we would have tripled our investment in cash we could pass on to our families.  Instead, our Social Security payments were not invested, but went into the government “slush fund” and was wasted.

Big Money took over our government, so whatever government does only benefits Big Money.  Large Campaign Contributors own the government.  Politicians won’t work for the voters until we outlaw Big Money from making campaign contributions.  A good campaign finance law would restrict making campaign contributions to registered voters. They would be allowed to contribute to politicians who would appear on their ballot. 

The best thing voters could do is to shrink Big Government and force it to return its unconstitutional activities to the “free market”.
