well that problem is actually TOP DOWN.

you see when the economy is rough the only PROPER decision is to LOWER prices.

but people who have too much power (large corporations and government) are either SHIELDED from the consequences of raising prices (corporations) or IMMUNE to the consequences (government)

ie they raise taxes. you can't pay. in a normal environment the taxer would have a choice lower the taxes and take less or GET NOTHING AT ALL.

but in our twisted system that choice is irrelevant. its either YOU PAY or they STEAL everything from you (ie take your property your business etc..)

ie there is no DOWNSIDE to them raising taxes.

of course when they do this business now have NO CHOICE but to raise prices and HOPE people can take the increased price.

because when we don't they go out of business and the government still gets to steal their property from them.

its a viscous system that is guaranteed 100% to fail.

but since those doing the stealing do NOT suffer consequences for their actions they don't care.

I want to make a 3 wheeler to insulate myself at least somewhat from this happening again.
