eCon 303 — Power Forms
BrainPower Adapts to Power Forms
Brainpower adapts to the form that power takes. It focuses on how that power is controlled, also by whom and/or what controls it.
Control = Power
When Mr. & Mrs. Smith get taxed at lower rates, they have more control over their money, axiomatically. When taxed at higher rates, GovNukes have more control over their money, axiomatically.
Money = Power
Money Honey tickles the tummy. Clothes, cars, cities, all take money. Money is power. Everybody on the street knows that.
Parenting = Power
Burkean Economics works beyond the realm of finance. It is equally applicable in the realm of family, especially parenting.
Parenting isn’t a word I like. It erases the fundamental gender roles of Fatherhood & Motherhood. But the power over children must rest with their parents, Mom & Dad, so Parenting it is.
Parental Power is measured by the control parents have over their own family. When GovNukes impede parents with their God-given parental duties, parents have less control over their family. Examples include allowing dysphoric boys in the girls room and strapping young men to compete in women's swimming. Or, not telling the parents that Jack goes by Jill from 9 to 3, or that men in falsies will be reading to their kindergartens. cCon actions like those rob sacred agency from parents.
Power is best with individual electrons.
Financial Power is measured by the agency electrons have over their own money.

100% tax rate means they have zero control over their money.

50% tax rate gives them 50% control over their money.

30% tax rate means 70% control over their money.
-
10% tax rate means 90% control over their money.

0% tax rate means complete control over their money, and flying pigs.
