"Fishers of Men"
When a jet plane swims in a big river of a large city like a fish, you may observe a miracle in air or on the ground.
So, my TV got malfunction this Monday as an herald, didn’t it?
SECTION I: Administrative Best-Practice Model
From the beginning, money, tax, or a budget is not the most important element for a nation.
Money, tax, or a budget is not the most fundamental condition for establishing and running a nation, though it is not bad at all to sincerely discuss the matter.

Firm Tax Policy Rather than Bailouts Will Restore Economy
(Rep. Neugebauer)
January 16th, 2009
I believe we can better stimulate the economy through tax relief, which is why I introduced the Economic Growth Through Tax Stimulus Act. This legislation will make the 2001 and 2003 tax relief permanent, reduce marginal individual income tax rates by 5 percentage points for the next five years and reduce the top business and individual income tax rate to 25 percent for the next 5 years. This type of stimulus policy will translate into half a million more jobs in 2009, add an additional $130 billion in GDP and increase the economic growth rate.
Bailouts reward unsuccessful companies; reducing taxes helps successful employers, both small and large, retain more capital so they can be more productive, hire more workers and improve wages. Across-the-board tax relief means the government is not picking winners and losers. As a former business owner, I know that reducing business taxes will lead to job growth and reduce the annual tax burden on every household.
The American taxpayers deserve a better plan from the federal government than more spending on top of a deficit already projected to be more than $1 trillion this year. Congress must focus on solutions that empower individuals and businesses to succeed in the economy rather than solutions that make them more dependent on the federal government. We owe it to them to stop writing blank checks, borrowing and spending without limits and mortgaging their children’s future.

---------------------------------
However my idea is that a government should unconditionally pay salary to the people; I mean all the people of a nation.
People might be living as a farmer, a merchant, a corporate employee, or a public servant. Yet they must all receive salary every month even if they are unemployed or refuse to work in any business.
People are however requested to use the salary fully within a month or a year, as a case may be. They are requested to bring and show receipts to prove their spending to a designated public agency. Without presenting this proof, they will not be allowed to receive the salary in the next month. When they have proved that all the salary they received from the government has been fully used, they can get the next one.
Of course, a tax system will be preserved and operated as it is today.
But, official duties of a citizen of a nation must include a duty to spend fully the official salary the government provides for each member of the nation on the sole ground that he or she has a right to be financially loved by the nation in exchange of his or her contribution to the national economy through exercising his or her purchasing power.
A government provides money unconditionally to all the people in a form of the national salary.
The people pay tax to the government in addition to fully spending the national salary within a specified period.
This looks like a reasonable money flow, since people may also work in a private sector or a public sector to receive a conventional salary or consideration as they have been doing in exchange of their labor or service.
For your information, Japan is going to partially test this idea by furnishing a specific amount of money (12,000 yen or 130 dollars) to each household this spring, for free or unconditionally, believe it or not.
The value assurance of the yen is of course the future glory of Japan as expected from its past.
SECTION II: JAPANESE OBAMAS
It feels like a change of seasons in the Japanese political community, often referred to Nagata-chou (the Nagata street).
Especially rising and hopeful politicians might be busy nowadays in Tokyo or in their constituencies, though not for any conventional or old-fashioned paradigm of revolution.
Mr. MINORU MORITA
Mr. Morita is not a politician but a very veteran political analyst since he was a member of the Japanese Communist Party in early 1950’s when he was a student of the University of Tokyo.
He has his own Internet site to present his political view. His recent upload includes maxims of past heroes:
- Friendship must be observed as a holy practice (Prince Shoutoku-Taishi, Japan)
- One who sheds light on a small corner of the society is a national treasure (Holy Monk Saichou, Japan)
- Politics is not science but technique (Bismarck, Germany)
Once a young and arrogant TV-program director insulted him by refusing his participation in some program, since a political tide in Japan drastically changed along with Former Prime Minister Mr. Jyunichiro Kizumi’s overwhelming victory in a general election. But, the tide may be changing again in favor of Mr. Morita who has a variety of friends not only in the Japanese political community but also among an overseas Chinese community.

Mr. Motoshige Ito
Mr. Ito is an incumbent professor of the University of Tokyo, specializing in economics.
http://www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/index_e.html
He often appears in a midnight business-news program broadcast from a TV station in Tokyo.
Last night, he said that he is busy in a tie up with Stanford University and Singapore University. He also added that when he delivers his lecture in English, students (mostly Japanese) seem to understand more. He also emphasized importance for Japanese students to study in a graduate school not only for a position in an academic community but also for success in business.
When Mr. Ito was a student, he went to America for his study or research sometime. He happened to visit a park where he bought an ice cream from a peddler. Decades later he also made a research trip to America and happened to visit the park and find the same ice-cream man.
Mr. Ito must have gravely felt that there could be such a happy life as a life-time ice-cream peddler in the United States.
But, there is also such a life that has gravely never experienced an ice-cream peddler in the United States, since the actual contribution to the global economy is not so different between a Tokyo University professor in economics and a cheerful life-time ice-cream scooper in the U.S.
Anyway, I turned a TV channel to another midnight news program last night, since my TV is now very stable to present a more amusing figure than a professor of the University of Tokyo.
********************************************
That is all for today.
Everybody knows that Monday comes after Sunday; Sunday comes after Saturday; and thus Friday is very important. So, don’t despise an old man who cannot tell what day it is today.
Indeed, Jesus Christ never minded Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. But, I will respect Saturday more in case, Honey.
(It is what is more than revolution that I like to consider. Eventually, money will lose meaning in this new world getting closer to the kingdom of God, since tax is salary and salary is tax therein. Forgive a stingy employer.
