Transcription/Notes: LET’S PAY PEOPLE NOT TO WORK WHILE DEFUNDING THE POLICE Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday, May 14th in the year of our Lord 2021 and I will be talking about, among other things related to the world according to woke, a new report which seems to indicate that paying people not to work makes people not want to work. This report will make the case that the entire philosophy of the Democrat economic plan is flawed and the entire Democrat approach to government is based on lies and will lead inevitably to chaos and violence. The Castle Family is doing just great this weekend as the state of Tennessee is scheduled to come off the mask mandate. Most people seem convinced that when the masks come off tomorrow the virus will be less infectious than it is today, so I sure hope that is the case. The family daughter has her husband back in Southern California and he seems to be adjusting quite well to his return to civilization. Not much seems to be going well for the President right now. He has been pushing his spending bills through Congress which hands him not billions but trillions to give away as relief for voters and to supposedly stimulate the nation’s economy, but it does not seem to be working. Let’s take a look at some of the reasons why it isn’t working and most likely will never work. There are basically two economic theories or philosophies if government intervention is accepted as the only way and right now that seems to be the case. The first is what Joe Biden’s administration is trying to use and that is to create massive amounts of new or fake money and force it into the economy by giving it away to those favored by the regime. Ordinarily that would create massive inflation because nothing is created with all that money except debt, so you have a lot of money in circulation but no new goods to buy with it. It works out to be the freshman economics formula for inflation, i.e., too many dollars chasing too few goods. To prevent the inflation from happening the government taxes the labor of those working to take money out of circulation. They make it and put it in, then take the people’s labor through tax. The second theory or philosophy of economics is virtually the opposite of the first. Money is not created and infused into the economy through various means. Instead, taxes are lowered on working people thereby putting more money in circulation. Taxes are also reduced on business allowing production to increase so that goods that people want to buy are made. It would take courage and a little faith to decrease taxes in the face of rising debt and deficits, but history has shown that doing so actually increases government revenue and lowers the deficit. Why does the government have to intervene in the economy at all? Shouldn’t the government just let the free market solve the various ups and downs through its relentless destruction and replacement? Yes, that is the correct answer, but it is far too late for that. Government insists that it is in control of everything and will solve every problem. The people, therefore, hold the government accountable for every problem that occurs. Why doesn’t the government do something to fix this is the common refrain.  I suppose we can blame 100 years of government schools for the ignorance of what government is constitutionally empowered to do. So, in that regard, the April jobs report shows some very troublesome signs. There were 266,000 jobs created but it takes 275,000 to break even. In addition, the President predicted that one million new jobs would be created in April, so his program is not working as he predicted. There were 473,
