This graph is broadly true statistically and can quickly be verified on Grok AI -
- Income from work and business is heavily taxed to fund the state and welfare, killing many businesses and jobs; this is the main driver of bankruptcy, unemployment and low wages (open borders worsen it but are secondary).
- Property ownership faces little tax on rents or capital gains, so everyone—rich or poor—rushes to buy housing first. This diverts huge sums of money from productive investments into unproductive real estate.
Caveat: By showing you this I'm not saying it is right or wrong, that something should be done about it or that we should be encouraged to do more of it. I am just showing it to you for your observation.
So what's the issue?The issue is that it's forbidden knowledge - socially, in any circle politically, it is forbidden for any obedient citizen to shine a light on these observed facts. Under threat of 'exile' from that social circle.
This pathology is the only thing which everyone across the political spectrum agrees on censoring for the same reason. Everyone stands in harmony against the revelation. For an analytical psychologist this unity is a strong signal the collective is resisting something important.
During a campaign I used the graph as propaganda because the light it shines is very bright indeed. It was interesting to note that most people would be hypnotised when they first saw it, appearing to love what they were seeing yet hoping no one would notice their 'joy'. And when questioned would refuse point blank to go into it. Not necessarily because it looked hypocritical, but because it would be a clear signal they were starting to disobey the tribe. I used this experiment a thousand times over the years and never once got a confession - an even stronger signal something important was happening.
What I'd not considered at the time were the reasons why this might be and the consequences of an unlikely collective revelation of it:
- The reason why everyone knows automatically not to discuss it is that everyone one of us has snout buried deep already or aspires to it one day if poor - it has nothing to do with corrupt wealth and power - the people *are* power and the allegation is just a collective projection.
- The consequences of a revelation cannot really be forecast accurately because who can say what will happen if such a deep and wide spread collective change occurs suddenly - often it would be a great recession to correct recent sin. All you can really say is it will be either a really amazing evolution of humanity as Mr Musk is hoping for. Or a really devastating regression and this is probably why nature nearly always blocks it from taking place.
