Karmic Backlash
Before one becomes very rich, he usually thinks that he would not live a foolish life with a dark mind if he becomes very rich.
But, without an exception, when one becomes very rich, he lives a foolish life with a dark mind.
However, his life is protected by various systems that function to protect rich people by sacrificing the poor. One of these systems is a political system and another is an economic system.
Yet, the superior and overriding rule is that rich men cannot enter Heaven after death, in order not to be saved from the death. Champions in this world in terms of success and wealth have all been punished by the God and thrown into the hell to lose every memory of their success and wealth.
This is the teaching of Jesus Christ that has been taken over generation after generation for 2000 years.
So, it is a great surprise that this teaching is yet to govern politics and economy of the world.
SECTION I: 0% TAX, PLUS!!
Japanese Prime Minister Mr. Naoto Kan has proposed his plan to set the consumer tax rate at 10% in near future, though it is 5% now.
President of the opposition LDP Mr. Sadakazu Tanigaki has also proposed his plan to set the consumer tax rate at 10% in near future, though it is 5% now.
Some economists have argued that it is crazy to raise a tax rate while Japan is in decades-long deflation.
The ruling DPJ led by P.M. Mr. Kan is trying to secure a majority in the coming 7/11 Upper House election. But, his strategy of announcing the 5% tax increase plan might be very wrong.
They are all brain-washed by the old economics paradigm that the government must first collect tax and then spend it according to a budgetary plan.
The collection of tax and the budgetary expenditure by a government must be however separated especially in the advanced economy like Japan.
A government must print and deliver bills or paper money, apart from the function of the central bank, so as to execute the budget.
Taxation must be used as a means to adjust money flow in the society. Without depending on an amount of tax collected, the budget execution must be fulfilled.
The basic condition that justifies this scheme is unlimited power of production and provision of products, goods, technologies, and services, which sustains international value of the currency, namely the yen for Japan.
According to this Rule of Separation of Budget Execution and Tax Collection, no more financial crisis occurs.
The Government can freely print paper money especially for use for social welfare, as long as it can sustain international value of the currency, namely the yen for Japan.
Or, the Government can pay monthly allowance, $1,000 or so, to every citizen regardless of their state of employment under the condition that the allowance is to be spent within a year, as long as it can sustain international value of the currency, namely the yen for Japan. (It will be a happy duty for each citizen to spend this government-sent $1,000 per month in this case!)
Anyway, someday a party will fight an election with an official promise of making the tax rate 0% for individuals and corporates. It is one of intermediate aims of my efforts in presenting the EEE Economics based on the Jesus' Economics.
Nonetheless, both the DPJ and the LDP have neglected a principle of conventional economics: Do not raise a tax rate during deflation.
They both might lose the 7/11 Upper House election.
SECTION II: National Allowance
If the Japanese Government provides a $1,000 monthly allowance to each voter, it will total $1.2 trillion (= $1,000 x 12 x 100 million) per year.
As voters are obliged to spend all the allowance within a year, it can contribute to GDP every year in a ratio of 10 to 20%, since Japanese GDP is between $5 to $6 trillion.
Tax revenue will be automatically increased if collected.

Nobody thinks that the earth will become a planet of gangsters someday.
But, nobody also thinks that the earth will become a planet of righteous people someday.
Yet, if he does not decide to do something to make the earth a planet of righteous people, he will eventually turn to a life of crime, according to Jesus Christ.
Emergence of new economies, such as China and India, indicates that the whole earth is coming to be judged by the God of Christianity, since modern economy is based on the modern European Civilization, a great product of Christianity, no matter how incomplete.
Even today's ultra rich people will try to kill Jesus Christ if He directly orders them to abandon all the money they have accumulated in this world while they are still alive. They will not give all the money to the poor to follow Jesus Christ. Instead, they will hate Jesus Christ so much as to try to kill Him.
If you want to make it sure, ask them what they would do when so ordered.
This is the bottom line of this world.
So, do not be used by them as an instrument to kill Jesus Christ, if He should emerge.
It is the minimum duty for a church goer and a Bible reader, in my humble thought.
And, I really think that I, a servant of the God unlike a religious businessman called a priest, should have been already killed if I had lived in Europe or America.
This is the bottom line of my story so far.
