More About The Redistribution Of Wealth, 12/10/2014  December 10th, 2014

There are many theories about why we pay the outrages prices for our consumer goods that we do. Here’s some thoughts from an economics student in the form of an article “Everything You Thought You Knew About The 1970s Inflation And the U.S. Economy is Wrong“.

While the corporate world and unions did spend a lot of time, energy, and resources chasing each other’s tails causing the winds of inflation to fan, it was nothing that hadn’t been done previously. So why The Great Inflation of the 1970s?

I have other thoughts on why many homes can barely afford to live an industrial existence.

Some my say a redistribution of wealth to the working class isn’t fair to the wealthy. After all they earned that money. Well they really took it from the working class without regard to social consequence.

In the 1950s a home could have one income, a house, a car, and Christmas. In the 1960s and 1970s women flooded the job market and a home could afford to pay more for their amenities. The corporate world knew persons could pay more so they charged more and along came The Great Inflation. Finally we’re in a place where most homes can’t make it without two incomes. So the riches that the wealthy enjoy today came from the working class at a grave societal price; the absence of a parent at home. The redistribution of wealth is warranted. Occupational Parenting will make it work.

 

An excerpt from Wikipedia- full page

Gender inequality by social class

Mechanic working on a motorcycle, United States.

In the last 50 years we have experienced great changes toward gender equality in America. With the feminist movement of the 1960s, women began to enter the workforce in great numbers. Women had also had high labor market participation during World War II as so many male soldiers were away, women had to take up jobs to support their family and keep their local economy on track. Many of these women dropped right back out of the labor force when the men returned home from war to raise children born in the generation of the baby boomers. In the late 1960s when women began entering the labor force in record numbers, they were entering in addition to all of the men, as opposed to substituting for men during the war. This dynamic shift from the one-earner household to the two-earner household dramatically changed the socioeconomic class system of this country. End of excerpt.

There’s another reason the redistribution of wealth is warranted. If Occupational Parenting is a reality there will be millions of job opening due to the influx of workers to the home. Machines can fill the holes that these workers leave. An automotive company doesn’t have to pay a machine and by today’s standard of technology I think a company can go fully automated. So what they’ll lose in parenting taxes they can make up for in unpaid wages It’s definitely something to think about. Until next time, keep your homes well.

    Sounds like a great idea, but i think it would make people less motivated to suceed in life. People will get stuck in a well this is life thats what it is, No push to be great… Kind of how welfare has done to most people on it… they feel stuck…

      Stratification is the difference between point A and point B. So right now the financial stratification between the wealthy and impoverished in America is extreme. I think stratification is good and needed to reward those who put in more. They should get back more. The billions and millions some sit on today is a hell of a lot more than what they put in. In the 1970’s it was taken not earned. Stratification will and should still exist.
      There’s an old statistic I learned in college and I’m not sure what it’s update is. If all the world’s wealth was owned by 10 persons 6 of them would live in the United States. What happened to Trickle Down economics. The trickle is much to slow.
      Unlike welfare this will be real work. Learning and applying the specifics of your child psychologically, sociologically, and technologically. You will earn your money based on the productivity of your child or children. It’s good, it works, lets do it.
