How Winning Promoted Corruption
 

December 6, 2020

Trump shows that winning is everything to incompetent corrupters. Winning is the test of being right and successful to them. Why would they be winners if they weren't right and successful?

Incompetent corrupters actually assume that constructivity is stupidity for fools. Winning proves it. Constructive persons are losers.

The concept of winning needs to be evaluated. What is winning? To Incompetent corrupters, winning is succeeding at what they are trying to do. What if what they are trying to do is self-destructive? Criminality is winning at self-destructive activity.

When Reagan got elected in 1981 conservatives became winners. Persons who never knew anything but being losers suddenly became winners. Wanabe winners swarmed to the conservative cause. Out of nowhere, conservatives became the prevailing influence in politics.

For a perspective, Reagan had to campaign as a liberal, because conservatives were so few and so disgraced. Reagan claimed that as governor he had done more for education than anyone in California and he was going to keep doing that sort of thing. Only after he got elected did conservatives dare call themselves conservatives; and they came out of the woodwork for the cause.

The conservative cause has been the prevailing influence on planet Earth ever since. That's why Trump is so certain he won the election; there can be no reversal in the fortunes of conservatives, because they are proven to be on the right path by being winners.

How did anyone besides Reagan and his staff gain anything from Reagan getting elected? There wasn't any question in the minds of conservatives. They partied and partied over a new state of existence.

When conservatives prevail in elections, it's like a huge weight being lifted off their heads. They celebrate endlessly. There was an uptick in economic activity due to conservatives partying when Trump got elected. Conservatives headed for the cafes and retail stores, which started a minor hiring spree.

Winning to conservatives is being part of a group of like-minded persons. The power of the group defines the conservative cause. It's highly visible in the evangelical religions. They don't study philosophy, they party in their sort-of churches. And they vote for someone such as Trump whose purpose is to promote a counter-ethic for everything Christianity teaches.

Evangelicals show that the purpose of conservatives is to create a power high. The power is in the collective group. The power of numbers is the primary source of power for conservatives.

The secondary source of power for conservatives is rip off. It takes money to make sin pay. It was a yuppie cult on Wall Street that defined the conservative cause during Reagan years. With million dollar bonuses, they paved Wall Street in gold.

Economic analysts cannot figure out how all the money keeps flowing upward. The motive of conservatives is for the money to flow upward. It's a source of power and power means upward flow. With more than half of society promoting that cause, the result doesn't need a simple and visible mechanism. It just goes that way because the motive goes that way.

There are explanations in the types of data that economists don't collect. The primary example is "mergers and acquisitions" (M & As). The invisible context is that businesses increase in efficiency constantly, which increases their profits constantly. But they don't know what to do with overwhelming profits which the government collects taxes on. So M & As take care of the problem and skyrocket money upward.

Whenever a company is bought or sold, the consumers have to rebuy the company to pay off the loan through increased prices on products. So instead of making products cheaper and cheaper, which would benefit the losers at the bottom of society, products get more expensive to pay for M & As.

And someone walks away with that much cash resulting from selling a business with nothing on the expense side of the ledger but 10% going to the lawyers who keep them well versed on the process.

Where does all that money go when businesses are bought and sold? It goes into a gambling casino called the stock market which serves as a redistribution system for wealth. The stock market wasn't that way during the fifties. It got that way when banking laws were thrown out during the nineties.

Mergers and acquisitions, stock buy-backs and banks investing in the stock market used to be illegal, because wheeler dealers ripped everyone off that way during the 1890s. Now they get by with it.
