1. ADEQUATE MONETARY SYSTEM: The three functions of the Federal Reserve to lower or raise discount rates, to buy or sell securities on the open market, to lower or raise the reserve requirements for member banks are inadequate for maintaining a balanced money supply at all times. By adding a FOURTH FUNCTION to the monetary system that would index the PAYROLL TAX on a scale of 1 to 15 would bring balance.
The index could be lowered when more money is desired in the consumers pockets and raised when less is needed. NEW MONEY WOULD BE CREATED TO MAKE UP THE DEFICIT, NOT BORROWED FROM CHINA OR ANYONE ELSE.
2. RESERVE RETRAINING WORK FORCE: The greatest problem facing America is EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT. This problem can be PERMANENTLY solved by establishing a Reserve Retraining Work force. Everyone would be in the regular work force or in the Reserve-Retraining Work force. All unemployment would be by choice.
3. ALL AMERICANS WHO WANT TO OWN A HOME SHOULD BE ABLE TO, REGARDLESS OF INCOME. The Federal Government should endow a HOME LOAN FUND, so anyone making below average wages could borrow money to finance a home at an interest rate from 1% to 3% FOR UP TO
40 YEARS.
4. HEALTH CARE SYSTEM: Since the average health care claims run under $10,000, the Federal government could pay all claims over $10,000 for only 16 billion dollars per 1 trillion dollars of total health care cost. Without having to worry about claims for over $10,000, small businesses and small organizations could self-insure which would bring about competition in the insurance industry where none now exist. THIS WILL LEAD TO A SINGLE PAY UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.
5. A FIRST CLASS EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM CAN BEST BE ESTABLISHED BY HAVING THE TEACHER BECOME THE DIRECTOR OF A PLANNED PROGRAM THAT WILL REACH ALL OBJECTIVES DESIRED USING THE BEST OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY. WE COULD SPEND A BILLION DOLLARS ON EVERY COURSE BEING TAUGHT IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT
WOULD TEACH EVERY THING KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT BY EXPERTS AND THAT WOULD BE CHEAPER THAN WHAT WE ARE NOW SPENDING ON EDUCATION, AND IT WOULD ALLOW ALL TEACHERS TO DO A BETTER JOB OF TEACHING.
PLUS: THE DEFENSE OF AMERICAN IS PARAMOUNT. The Armed Forces must have the people power, the hardware, the software, the research, and the development necessary to keep America the SUPER POWER of the world. THE WORLD MUST FIGHT TERRORISM WITH A DOUBLE BLADE AX. They must simultaneously ax the terrorists and their infrastructure with one blade and the CAUSE with the other.
INFLATION IS A EUPHEMISM FOR THEFT! RAISING INTEREST RATES TO FIGHT THEFT IS LIKE POURING GASOLINE ON A BURNING HOUSE TO PUT OUT THE FIRE.
MIXTURISM the book
The rational economic, ethical and political philosophy for the 21st century and beyond. Authored by James M. Carroll
When will the Government use its Constitutional powers of the right to coin and print money and to barrow
money to balance the budge? When will the money supply be tied to the goods and services people’s
hands and minds can produce, rather than a gold standard concept? Why lie to the American people by
telling them that the Government’s debt is the same as their personal debt?

MIXTURISM
The rational economic, ethical and political philosophy for the 21st century and beyond

Mixturism
We have previously defined mixturism as the private sector working together with the public sector to meet the needs of the people. The idea that the use of one economic system, such as socialism or capitalism, can meet the needs of all the people is a fallacy. In order to encompass the different needs and desires of many people, economic systems must be flexible.
Mixturism, unlike other “isms,” would not put people into straightjackets as they try to solve their economic problems. Other “isms” allow for only certain methods to be used in solving problems and limit the number of solutions acceptable to them. In mixturism, the solution to the problem is deemed more important than the method used to find the solution or the method by which the solution is used.
Mixturism would not destroy any system that presently exists, but would call for the flexability to use what is good in all systems to solve the problems of the people of this planet. Violent revolution and terrorism can be avoided if nations are flexible in their approaches to problems and to their solutions.
Mixturism is a proper mixing of private and public enterprise in any activity of a socioeconomic system so that the needs of all people in the society can be best met and progress promoted for all the people of this planet. The mixing of private and public enterprise, or the partnership of private and public enterprise, should be similar to a reversible reaction.
If public enterprise can do a better job than private enterprise in any area of endeavor, then private enterprise must give way to public enterprise. When private enterprise can do a better job than public enterprise, then public enterprise must give way to private enterprise. When neither enterprise by itself can fill the vacuum that exists in economic development, then private and public enterprise must form a partnership to fill the vacuum. The needs of the people must take preference over profit. Meeting the needs of all the people must be the determining factor as to which enterprise…private, public, or joint private and public…is to be used.
The chief goal of people is to survive their duration on this planet in the best possible fashion. Progress, or achievement of the “best possible fashion,” is anything which leads to every person on this planet having the best of all the goods and services that are needed for quality living. At the very least, every person should enjoy the right to a good job, health care and enough space for a home and a place of privacy for the duration of life.
The struggle between socialism and capitalism revolves around the questions of whether every person has a right to a job at wages high enough for quality living. Some say there has to be a top and bottom. If this is true, the bottom should be quality living. No one should be opposed to anyone living rich, just to anyone living poor.
Governments have two main functions: first, to guarantee the rights and freedoms of its people and, second, to provide a political and economic system whereby the people can have quality living. Since the time of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, governments have had available to them a prototype by which the world could be brought to a higher degree of development.
Any government which does not guarantee its people the means to obtain jobs at wages high enough for quality living has fallen short of its duty to its people. Through the philosophy of mixturism, a government can provide and guarantee quality living for all its people by creating a reserve-retraining work force which would eliminate the need for welfare and unemployment. We’ll look in detail at this later.
Mixturism is a middle-of-the-road, hybrid doctrine. It borrows the best features of both capitalism and socialism. Mixturism is pragmatic. It asks what is the problem and what is the solution. It employs whatever method will solve the problem most effectively, regardless of labels. If public programs are judged to be the more appropriate approach for the solution of a specific problem, then that is the method used. If private enterprise can do a better job, then that approach is taken.
Mixturism is not dogmatic or preferential in deciding whether government or business or both together tackle the problem. The only criterion applied is who can do the job better. The notion that governments should subscribe to only one type of political philosophy at a time, one “ism” is fallacious. With mixturism, the solution to the problem is more important than the philosophy or methodology.
We may draw a stunning analogy between the evolution of life on earth and the development of human society. The first life forms were primitive, yet completely autonomous, single-celled organisms. For a time, they existed quite well without assistance from others. As the number of organisms increased, many cells began to live together, forming colonies. Soon, particular cells in the group began to evolve differently and to specialize in varied tasks for the benefit of the group. With this division of labor, an interdependence slowly emerged. Now cells counted on their neighbors to perform services for them. We see the same scenario unfolding in human culture. Individuals in the beginning were self-reliant, able to meet all needs themselves. This period was followed by group living, and that followed by division of labor, the result of which is in an interdependent society.
We are now far removed from that society of rugged individualism. We have transformed our society into a culture whose individual members depend on one another. We must therefore develop a government ethic which reflects and nurtures that concept. Mixturism fills that bill best, for it ensures that the government takes an active role in guaranteeing the rights and freedoms of its people in providing a system whereby everyone might enjoy a quality standard of living. It also ensures that the country contributes to the UN peace-keeping efforts and maintains a strong national defense. Any government that does less for its citizenry falls short of meeting its goals.
You can help produce an instant mindset change that will bring a lasting era of peace and prosperity by ordering the book MIXTURISM to find and promote the ideas that will rule the 21st century and beyond.

PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL BRING THE CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN THAT WILL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE: THE PHILOSOPHY OF MIXTURISM AND THE FIVE- FINGER AGENDA.

The Five-Finger liberal Agenda
1. ADEQUATE MONETARY SYSTEM: The three functions of the Federal Reserve are to lower or raise discount rates, to buy or sell securities on the open market, and to lower or raise the reserve requirements for member banks.These are inadequate for maintaining a balanced money supply at all times.

Everyone would be in the regular work force or in the Reserve-Retraining Work Force. All unemployment would be by choice.
3. ALL AMERICANS WHO WANT TO OWN A HOME– HOME OWNERSHIP SHOULD BE POSSIBLE REGARDLESS OF INCOME. The Federal Government should endow a HOME LOAN FUND, so anyone making below average wages could borrow money to finance a home at an interest rate from 1% to 5% FOR UP TO 50 YEARS.
4. HEALTH-CARE SYSTEM: Since only 1.3% of all health-care claims run over $50,000, the Federal government could pay these claims for only 13 billion dollars per 1 trillion dollars of total health-care cost. Without having to worry about the one claim in a million for a million dollars, small businesses and small organizations could self-insure which would bring about competition in the insurance industry where none now exist. THIS WILL LEAD TO A SINGLE PAY UNIVERSAL HEALTH-CARE SYSTEM.
5. A FIRST CLASS EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM CAN BEST BE ESTABLISHED BY HAVING THE TEACHER BECOME THE DIRECTOR OF A PLANNED PROGRAM THAT WILL REACH ALL OBJECTIVES DESIRED. BY USING THE BEST OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, WE COULD SPEND A BILLION DOLLARS ON EVERY COURSE BEING TAUGHT IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT

John McCain you lost get lost. You do not know what is what. Stop crying over
your war record. You were a loser, but you used it to get elected. People go
for a sad story. You are like all the other Republicans; you stand for nothing;
You stand in the way of something. Pork is good. It provided jobs. You have one.
THREE QUESTIONS OF A LIBERAL
Put to his or her mind every day
Do I want to know the truth about politics, business, science, religion, morals and life; or do I merely want to prove that the notions I already have about these things are correct?
Am I willing to lay aside the convictions of a life-time and all the traditions and beliefs of history and all the customs of my social class when I come into the presence of a new fact long enough to find out whether or not this new fact ought to change my point of view?
Have I ever, without mental reservation, prejudice, bias, set notions and dogmas, surrender my mind completely to the examination of the reasons for my most cherished opinions; that is, have I surrendered my mind completely to an acceptance of the truth, whether it lead me to heaven or hell?

CAPTALISM, MIXTURISM, SOCIALISM: MIXTURISM IS WHAT WE NEED.
The Stock Markets
Economic decisions often are unreasonably based on what the stock markets do. The problem is not the stock markets themselves but on the mythology surrounding them. We must cut through this mythology to make people aware that the stock markets do not play the role we are led to believe they do. Then we must use this knowledge to prohibit their undue influence on the basic economy. Instead, we must base our economic decisions on the mixturist philosophy of proper utilization of people and natural resources and a balanced money supply.
To more fully understand this, let’s take a realistic look at how stock markets function. The rise and fall of the stock market is essential for the stock market to work at all. If prices continually decline, no one would buy stock. If stock prices continually increase, people would put all their money in the stock market, which would bankrupt the rest of the economy.
The economic effect of the rise and fall of the stock markets is a misconception and is, in fact, just the opposite of what people are told. Most of the hundreds of stocks that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ and the American Exchange are not new stock issues. Most of them have been on the stock exchanges for years. When a new stock is issued to raise money to start a new company, it has a very positive effect on the economy by creating new jobs which produce more goods and services — the real wealth of a nation. What a stock sells for after the initial sale has no positive effect on the economy unless it sells for less. When the price of old stock drops, it takes fewer dollars to pay for the same stock certificate; therefore making more dollars available to purchase other items. If the price of an old stock goes up, it merely takes more dollars out of the economy to purchase the same stock certificate. This has the same destroying effect on the money supply as inflation.
The up and down cycles of the stock markets are made to work by the people who have seats on the stock exchanges, program buyers, and by institutional managers of many different kinds of pension, money-market , and a host of other funds. These people can make the stock market go up or down by selling or buying big blocks of stocks or by using any kind of psychological or capricious ideas around to justify their actions. Whichever direction the wind blows, the stockbrokers receive their commission. Stockbrokers have the best of both worlds; they get a commission when the stock is purchased and also when the stock is sold. Whether the stock is selling high or low or whether the stockholder is making money or losing money, the commission is still paid.
No one is suggesting that the stock markets should be done away with, but the real role they play in the economy ought to be understood so that their influence on economic stability is lessened. Whether the stock markets are up or down, the thing that should provide for a healthy, growing economy is an adequate money supply…one which can exchange all the goods and services the highly productive American workers produce.
The stock markets are truly legalized gambling for anyone who buys stock hoping that the price will increase so they can cash in their winnings. This legalized gambling is a good thing in a capitalistic system, making it possible for stockholders to become millionaires if they play it right; but the true value of any stock is found in the dividend that it pays per share in company earnings.
THE WARREN BUFFETS AND HIS KIND
If the Warren Buffets and his kind can drive the
STOCK MARKETS low enough, they will then
buy up enough of it for a song; and they will
become TRILLION AIRES.
The best advice that I could give stock holders:
don’t buy on margin, don’t sell your stock and
buy as much as you can afford.
Is there a conspiracy going on in the stock markets?
What is going on in after hours- trading?
What kind of wheeling and dealing go on after the bell
WHY WILL NEWS MEDIA NOT ADDRESS THESE IDEAS?
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN NOT GO BANKRUPT; IT HAS THE POWER TO CREATE MONEY (ARTICLE 1, SECTION 8, OF THE CONSTITUTION).
HOW CAN THE INTELLIGENTSIA OF AMERICA BE SO BLINDED that they cannot see that the Federal Government must have a money system that can create and maintain an equivalent ratio of money to the goods and services that its peoples’ hands and minds can produce? Nature’s Basic Law of Economics states: All goods and services flow from the action of people resources on natural resources— Money is the medium of exchange which should be equal to the value of the goods and services—and not to a gold standard or some other insane idea.
MONEY FOR BOTH DOMESTIC AND DEFENSE
The question should be: are there people resources and natural resources available for both? Money can be created (Article 1, section 8, of the Constitution). When are we going to wake up?
<>We don’t have to be a NATION OF ECONOMICS IDIOTS.
HOW TO GET THE ECONOMY BACK ON TRACK IN A FLASH BY GIVING 535 BILLION DOLLARS TO THE STATES
Give each state one billion dollars for each member of Congress– which would distribute the money equally among the states. States could keep all of their employees, and they could add a few more. They could create millions of new jobs by getting a lot of needed projects going. The Federal Government has the Constitutional authority to create new money. It doesn’t need to borrow it from China or anyone else. Giving 535 billion dollars to the states makes more sense than giving two or three trillion dollars to the banks.
TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH AND FLOAT DRIED UP MONEY SUPPLY When the rich get tax cuts, they don’t put it under their mattress; but what they do with it has the same effect. They store it as bytes on computer chips. They don’t spend the money that’s needed to moves goods and services.
The efficiency of the clearing houses for financial institutions has dried up trillions of dollars in float. You can’t beat a check to the bank any more. Debit cards, paying bills on line, buying on the internet with Pay Pal and the many other ways that money can instantly be taken out of bank accounts has dried up the money supply. When you could beat a local check to the bank and when it took an out of town check ten days to clear the bank, there were billions of dollars that could be spent by the depositors and billions that could be loaned out by the banks. WHERE ARE THE ECONOMISTS?
