Additionally, why corporations will never concede to paying a livable wage to their human employees is explicated, why human employees are extinct and why humans have become outdated horses in the age of automation, and why employee jobs are so brutally dreadful and lead to wage slavery and extreme poverty is revealed in this essay.

The difference between trickle up economics and trickle down economics is not only ineffably vast, but it is able to shed light on the utmost consequential reason as to why one nation's economy is prosperous and robust while another nation's economy is stagnant and dull. The system of trickle down economics creates a centralized economy in which wealth is concentrated in the hands of relatively few people whereas the system of trickle up economics creates a robust decentralized economy in which wealth is dispersed into the hands of many. The premise of the system of trickle down economics is that concentrating wealth in the hands of so few people will preponderantly benefit the economy more so than the dispersion of wealth. "Trickle down economics is a theory that claims benefits for the wealthy trickle down to everyone else. Trickle-down economics assumes investors, savers, and company owners are the real drivers of growth. It also assumes that they will use any extra cash from tax cuts to expand businesses. Under this assumption, investors will buy more companies or stocks, banks will increase lending, owners will invest in their operations and hire workers, and all of this expansion will theoretically trickle down to workers. The workers will spend their wages to drive demand and economic growth" (Amadeo, 2019). In reality, a system of trickle down economics does not have such benefits for increasing the standard of living nor for spurring economic growth since corporations view employees as exploitable, expendable labor cost liabilities who are a dime a dozen. Companies will never pay their employees a penny above minimum wage, irrespective of how credentialed they are, even though companies now have market caps exceeding $1,000,000,000,000. One of the underlying principles of trickle down economics is that "targeted tax cuts work better than general ones. It advocates cuts to corporations, capital gains, and savings taxes. It does not promote across-the-board tax cuts. Instead, the tax cuts go to the wealthy and the benefits ostensibly trickle down to everyone else. It is also contended that the tax cuts offered to the wealthy provide a powerful multiplication effect" (Amadeo, 2019). It is posited that "this will create a more prosperous economy and a larger tax base" (Amadeo, 2019) under this system of trickle down economics. Trickle down economics has profusely increased the income disparity and does not increase customer spending since tax cuts for the wealthy does not increase the purchasing power of the average private sector employee who does not even earn a sustenance wage for affording housing.

Book excerpt: ________________ As seen on Sky News All Out Politics ‘There’s no understanding global inequality without understanding its history. In The Divide, Jason Hickel brilliantly lays it out, layer upon layer, until you are left reeling with the outrage of it all.’ - Kate Raworth, author of Doughnut Economics · The richest eight people control more wealth than the poorest half of the world combined. · Today, 60 per cent of the world’s population lives on less than $5 a day. · Though global real GDP has nearly tripled since 1980, 1.1 billion more people are now living in poverty. For decades we have been told a story: that development is working, that poverty is a natural phenomenon and will be eradicated through aid by 2030. But just because it is a comforting tale doesn’t make it true. Poor countries are poor because they are integrated into the global economic system on unequal terms, and aid only helps to hide this. Drawing on pioneering research and years of first-hand experience, The Divide tracks the evolution of global inequality – from the expeditions of Christopher Columbus to the present day – offering revelatory answers to some of humanity’s greatest problems. It is a provocative, urgent and ultimately uplifting account of how the world works, and how it can change for the better.

Download or read book Obamanomics written by John R. Talbott and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author John R. Talbott, who predicted the housing and mortgage crisis, pictures in Obamanomics--written well in advance of the historic 2008 elections--a Barack Obama presidency based on justice and cooperation—principles that have not held sway in Washington, DC, for quite some time. Talbott's powerful grasp of finance allows him to connect the issue of financial inequality in America with our need as a people to embrace change. Obama has shown he knows that divisions among races, religions, and political views have prevented Americans from coming together to solve the most important problems of our age. Obamanomics, infused with Obama's speeches, campaign policy statements, and other writings, describes a government acting according to democratic principles to enact lobbying reform, get our economy moving again, fix our healthcare system, slow global warming, prevent unnecessary wars, improve education, address the aging of our population, find alternative energy sources, and bring about housing, mortgage, and banking reform.
Download or read book The Rich and the Rest of Us written by Tavis Smiley and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2012-04-17 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Record unemployment and rampant corporate avarice, empty houses but homeless families, dwindling opportunities in an increasingly paralyzed nation—these are the realities of 21st-century America, land of the free and home of the new middle class poor. Award-winning broadcaster Tavis Smiley and Dr. Cornel West, one of the nation’s leading democratic intellectuals, co-hosts of Public Radio’s Smiley & West, now take on the "P" word—poverty. The Rich and the Rest of Us is the next step in the journey that began with "The Poverty Tour: A Call to Conscience." Smiley and West’s 18-city bus tour gave voice to the plight of impoverished Americans of all races, colors, and creeds. With 150 million Americans persistently poor or near poor, the highest numbers in over five decades, Smiley and West argue that now is the time to confront the underlying conditions of systemic poverty in America before it’s too late. By placing the eradication of poverty in the context of the nation’s greatest moments of social transformation— such as the abolition of slavery, woman’s suffrage, and the labor and civil rights movements—ending poverty is sure to emerge as America’s 21st‑century civil rights struggle. As the middle class disappears and the safety net is shredded, Smiley and West, building on the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr., ask us to confront our fear and complacency with 12 poverty changing ideas. They challenge us to re-examine our assumptions about poverty in America—what it really is and how to eliminate it now.
Download or read book A War on Global Poverty written by Joanne Meyerowitz and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-13 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of US involvement in late twentieth-century campaigns against global poverty and how they came to focus on women A War on Global Poverty provides a fresh account of US involvement in campaigns to end global poverty in the 1970s and 1980s. From the decline of modernization programs to the rise of microcredit, Joanne Meyerowitz looks beyond familiar histories of development and explains why antipoverty programs increasingly focused on women as the deserving poor. When the United States joined the war on global poverty, economists, policymakers, and activists asked how to change a world in which millions lived in need. Moved to the left by socialists, social democrats, and religious humanists, they rejected the notion that economic growth would trickle down to the poor, and they proposed programs to redress inequities between and within nations. In an emerging “women in development” movement, they positioned women as economic actors who could help lift families and nations out of destitution. In the more conservative 1980s, the war on global poverty turned decisively toward market-based projects in the private sector. Development experts and antipoverty advocates recast women as entrepreneurs and imagined microcredit—with its tiny loans—as a grassroots solution. Meyerowitz shows that at the very moment when the overextension of credit left poorer nations bankrupt, loans to impoverished women came to replace more ambitious proposals that aimed at redistribution. Based on a wealth of sources, A War on Global Poverty looks at a critical transformation in antipoverty efforts in the late twentieth century and points to its legacies today.
Download or read book Trickle Down Tyranny written by Michael Savage and published by William Morrow. This book was released on 2012-04-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This One Book Can Stop Obama's Tyranny The USA or the USSA? The United States of America or the Union of Socialist States of America? That is the question. Will President Obama transform the greatest engine of freedom the world has ever known into a Stalin-like dictatorship? Or can the American people expose and rid themselves of this regime? Is the most polarizing president in our history transforming us into Caracas or Beijing? Moscow or Tehran? Trillions in new debt. His solution? Print more money, crippling American taxpayers and our children with unlimited debt while corrupt crony supporters continue to loot our economy. His attorney general has shipped weapons to Mexico, turning our southern border into a war zone as gangs of drug thugs and human traffickers endanger the citizenry of America. He's hobbled the most powerful military in the world, reducing the U.S. Navy to the smallest force since 1930 and rendering us unable to maintain our advanced weapons and technological advantages over the enemies at our gates. And what does Obama do as Iran spews genocidal dictates, promising to "kill all Jews" and "annihilate Israel"? He abandons our ally and continues to push a "diplomatic" solution to this threat. Obama is transforming us into a second-class nation, with communists and Islamists given free rein to expand their power. As Obama accrues power with little opposition and his oppression creeps down from the top, the American people must stop the tyranny!

Download or read book Poverty and Famines written by Amartya Sen and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1983-01-20 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main focus of this book is on the causation of starvation in general and of famines in particular. The author develops the alternative method of analysis—the 'entitlement approach'—concentrating on ownership and exchange, not on food supply. The book also provides a general analysis of the characterization and measurement of poverty. Various approaches used in economics, sociology, and political theory are critically examined. The predominance of distributional issues, including distribution between different occupation groups, links up the problem of conceptualizing poverty with that of analyzing starvation.
Download or read book Owning Up written by Michelle Miller-Adams and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2004-05-13 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the recent success of welfare reform in moving people off public assistance and into jobs, most of America's working poor are still unable to accumulate even the most minimal of assets. Even when they are getting by, they lack many of the resources—tangible and intangible—that provide middle-class Americans with a sense of security, stability, and a stake in the future. In Owning Up, Michelle Miller-Adams demonstrates how asset-building programs, used in combination with traditional income-based support, can be an effective means for helping millions of American out of poverty. Miller-Adams expands the traditional concept of assets to encompass a range of tools, experiences, resources, and support systems that are necessary if asset building is to serve as an effective anti-poverty strategy. She identifies four types of assets that can represent sources of wealth for low-income individuals and communities: economic human social, and natural assets. Economic assets include equity, retirement savings, and other financial holdings. Human assets include education, knowledge, skills, and talents. Included among social assets are the networks of trust and reciprocity that bind communities together. Natural assets include the land, water, air and other natural resources we depend on for survival. Owning Up also examines five organizations at the forefront of building assets for the poor. Their stories are told through the eyes of individuals whose lives they have helped transform. These organizations have all developed effective strategies for building assets, and Miller-Adams identifies them as models to be emulated elsewhere. The profiled organizations include: Neighborhoods Incorporated of Battle Creek, Michigan. Its innovative strategies seek to increase home ownership and promote neighborhood revitalization in poor communities. The Watershed Research and Training Center. This local organization strengthens the natural resource-based eco
