the economic loop

Trickle-down economics posits that as wealth concentrates at the top, ever more, that it will trickle down into the lives of everyone else. Trickle down, to us, as innovation, improvements in quality of life, longevity, and whatever else their list contains. Thus forming a loop to move money throughout the system.

The trick is that this is not a loop. It is a cycle. The cycle of which looks something like this:

1. Inspiration. An individual receives inspiration, probably from outside themselves.
2. Innovation. The individual takes their inspiration and transmutes it into a good thing that others want.
3. Reward. Those who benefit others deserve a benefit in exchange.
4. Corruption. Now, having been told by myriad people, and having received immense reward, realize they are indeed special and are deserving of worship and praise.
5. Internalization. Now believing they are deserving of worship and praise, believe their insights are above others and are critical to the benefit of humanity.
6. Seeking. Believing these things, they will seek out opportunities to realize this potential.
7. Finding. Seeking out opportunities will beget opportunities, more times than not especially if you are aligned with the beliefs required.
8. Preaching. They will begin to preach their beliefs, not drawing any strong lines in the sand for their Ego to never cross.
9. Building. Now fully engaged in this process, they will build the world they believe in.
10. Collecting. Having built the world they believe in, will now collect the rewards they now believe they deserve.

This forms an economic loop alright, but not from top to bottom but from everywhere to the top.. through the people at the top [their beliefs] back to everywhere else to collect more compensation.

The economic loop needed, is actually to allow this cycle to remain, but to add a mechanism to funnel money from the top back to everywhere else. To allow hoarding money, while also preventing the need for *more* money [to be printed] in order to satiate the needs of the many. The people living month to month, with no space to relax.
