SECTION I: EEE-Economics
The following is the trend of U.S. household financial assets (in trillion dollars) divided by type of instruments.

Blue: Cash; Red: Bonds; Green: Instrument Trust; Purple: Equities & Investments; Light Blue: Insurance & Pension Reserves; Light Brown: Others
In the third quarter of 2007, everybody was enjoying a wealthy living in America.
In the fourth quarter of 2009, everybody could have been enjoying a wealthy living in America
1) Basically, there was no negative influence of the Lehman Shock of 2008 September on American households, or more correctly, on rich American households if viewed skipping the period between the third quarter of 2007 and the fourth quarter of 2009 when an enormous amount of dollars were infused to the market and industries by FRB.
2) It means that the low unemployment rate before the September 2008 was not due to huge assets held by rich American households. It was due to an influx of funds from overseas, including Japan, China, oil producing countries, etc., leading to too generous credit accommodation to ordinary and poor Americans almost all of which turned to debts even across investing foreign countries.
3) So, it means that the high unemployment rate after the September 2008 is naturally and mostly due to huge assets held by rich American households, since debts and receivable seem to be balanced out now somewhat with remaining foreign funds and FRB-issued dollars on the books.

U: Unemployment
P: Bias of households asset distribution
C: Credit accommodation based on influx of overseas funds
Z: Other factors
If one rich American has $40 trillion, he might simply use $200,000 per year. It means that American GDP can be $200,000.
If 200 million ordinary/poor American have and share total $40 trillion dollars, each of them might simply use $200,000 per year. It means that American GDP can be $40 trillion.
No matter how much money American rich men, very rich men, and super rich men have, it will not assure economic prosperity of America, so long as ordinary and poor Americans have no money to spend.
The point at issue is that no one has ever figured out a scheme for making this principle applied to laws and regulations.
My idea is:
a) First a government must accurately measure the state of distribution of national assets among households.
b) The government must calculate and issue data on how much GDP, unemployment, consumer price indexes, the national financial balance, etc. would be improved if rich households are forced to spend, distribute, or contribute part of their money to any public or governmental institutions or agencies.
c) With this data, the president, the prime minister, etc. should persuade rich households individually to spend, distribute, or contribute part of their money to any public or governmental institutions or agencies.
d) The term taxation should not be used in this scheme. The provision of money from rich households must be based on their free will. But, the government must announce the state of, and change in, distribution of national assets among households, say, per month or per week if not per day.
SECTION II: The Senkaku Incident: Violent Chinese Fishing Boat
A Japanese TV station made an animation based on some testimony of those who viewed video records and pictures a crew of the two Japan Coast Guard ships took, though P.M. Mr. Naoto Kan would not make them public to the world.

If the skipper of the Chinese fishing boat simply attacked the Japan Coast Guard ships by ramming his boat against the JCG ships, Prime Minister Mr. Kan would allow the video footage to be fully broadcast.
But, as Japan's P.M. Mr. Kan would not do so, it is suspected that a horrible rumor is true: the Chinese skipper further poked a harpoon onto crews of the Japan Coast Guard who fell into the sea due to impact of the collision. It is then an attempt of murder. The skipper could not have been released as the JCG eventually arrested him. But, P.M. Mr. Kan virtually authorized the release of the dangerous skipper (reportedly drunken at the time of the incident) of the violent Chinese shipping boat after after several weeks of detention as well as crews after several days of detention.
If the rumor is true while the Kan Cabinet continues to refrain from releasing full shots of the video, it can be a fatal mistake for P.M. Mr. Kan, the key minister in charge Mr. Sengoku, and the ruling party DPJ. It means that the Kan Cabinet abandons its duty to protect Japanese citizens and public officials from Chinese violent criminals.
Also please note that the Chinese Communist Government treated the skipper as hero when he returned to his home town facing the East China Sea.

A stupid Japanese mother interfered with a way of living of her daughter even after her marriage, causing her to suffer a kind of depression, according to an NHK TV report.
It is said that there are many Japanese women in their 30's or so who are experiencing a similar situation, if they are successful in building their careers.
Conversely, Japanese daughters are very sympathetic to their mothers, though living in the highly modernized, industrialized, and system-oriented society.
Yet, the government and the society of Japan must regard citizens as pure individuals, which however needs sufficient understanding of a monotheistic religion(s), such as Islam, Judaism, conventional Christianity, and the way for the Almighty God.
Indeed, it is a long, winding, and narrow adamantine way.
