Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases:
If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
—Ronald Reagan, 1981

GOP Reps. Ask Donald Trump to Import Armies of Foreign Workers for White-Collar Jobs – HOLLY NOTE: Corporations want these workers because they get hefty tax cuts, not having to pay Social Security and Medicare.

This is such a double whammy because not only are vast sums in taxes not being paid to SSI and Medicaid, these companies are hiring foreigners when 40 million Americans are without jobs.

Coronavirus Threatens Global Remittances – HOLLY NOTE: Remittances are the billions of dollars that flow out of the U.S. to foreign countries. These are UNtaxed monies sent home by legal and illegal aliens.

In 2017 alone, $483 BILLION – in order of highest amount of the top 10 – went to India, China, Mexico, Philippines, Egypt/Arab Rep, Nigeria, Pakistan, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Ukraine. 2018 saw $529 billion exit the U.S. and in 2019 – $559 billion. If COVI-19 hadn't hit, it was projected the $574 billion would have left the country. In just 4 years that $2,145,000,000,000. of untaxed money. This is another area where the U.S. hemorrhages massive dollars.

The World Bank writes: "Why it matters: Families across the globe are depending on remittances more than ever as the coronavirus crisis batters local economies. Without them, millions will struggle to pay for basic needs, such as housing, health care and education."

How are they any more important than what 33 million Americans – and growing – are dealing with? Americans are losing their homes, their businesses, can't buy necessities including food or pay utilities, and sadly, it's culminating in substance abuse and suicide.

Trump: Postal Service Is a 'Joke' That Must Raise Prices To Get Bailout Money
'The service has requested as much as $75 billion in cash, loans and grants to stay afloat.

We don't know how soon the USPS must comply, but it would make the cost of shipping our books the same as the books. Our shopping cart ties in directly to the U.S. Post Office, so we don't control those costs. It would be clever to purchase of our books before this gigantic increase goes into effect.

Even junior Socialist pip-squeaks in Congress get paid $175,000 for reporting for work just 147 days a year. On average, Americans work 2,080 hours a year in a 40-hour week. That means these Congressional do-nothings 'earn' $150/hr. If they worked as much as the average American, they'd earn $310,000 for a full year, never mind that 1/2 year's vacation. How does your job stack up?
