    Is that the trickle down egonomics we’ve been waiting for?

    If man is the producer, and woman is the consumer, would Professor Divine kindly name the sex of the fat party in the middle?

    Years ago one of my Dad’s friends, a “small holdings” farmer (i.e., one with a few hogs, a few steers, some corn, beans, milo, and 2 unstyled IHC’s) remarked to me that, “A farmer is a bid’nessman who buys ever’thing at retail and sells ever’thing at wholesale.”

    I was in small business for 25 years. The suppliers (producers and wholesalers) I bought from were not what most people would call rich and neither was I. We were all working to provide for our families and were middle income. However people who were not in business, particular those with government jobs, thought of us and spoke of us as rich. Envy can be dangerous.

    Robin Hood stole from the government and gave it back to the taxpayer.

    Someone’s gotta facilitate the transfer back to the rich of all the riches that Robin Hood stole from them and gave to the poor.

    What are the poor going to do with all those riches, anyway? Buy stuff? There you go.

    The “middle class” is made up of middle men making up middle management making a muddle of everything. God bless us.

    I will not be made useless

    I won’t be idled with despair

    I will gather myself around my faith

    For light does the darkness most fear

    My hands are small, I know,

    But they’re not yours they are my own

    But they’re not yours they are my own

    And I am never broken

    I get that it’s fun to make sport of middlemen, just as people really get a bang out of lawyer jokes, but they serve a real purpose in any economy. If you’re out on your boat fishing every day, who’s got time to tend the fish shop? That’s why you need a fishmonger. And if the fishmonger’s shop is 5 leagues away from the harbor, who’s gonna truck the fish out there?

    As we’ve learned lately while watching some of the wheels fall off the economy, it’s a complex mechanism, with many moving parts. As the old aphorism has it, the status quo didn’t get there by accident, somebody PUT it there.

    I am enamored by trickle-up economics, which should work much better:

    1. Pay workers higher wages.

    2. Workers spend more money buying things.

    3. Companies see a higher profit margin.

    4. Owners, CEOs, shareholders get more money for their toys.

    Everybody is happier.
