growth of plant life, and so the systemic animal kingdom cycle goes.

Similar to this is the water cycle. Water may begin in the clouds, or
the ground – it depends on your view. From the clouds it rains and

on the ground it either collects or soaks in to reserves. Water is
transformed to condensation and evaporated to the atmosphere.

Generally, water is constant globally. However, changes to the
system – from natural weather events to man-made events, such as

unreplenished use, will change the cycle in those regions – which
will have a global impact. So goes the economy – a systemic cycle.

It is a cycle, not an up or down trickle theory – except in specific
areas and those areas will impact the overall cycle. Therefore we

cannot falsely stimulate the economy, nor take from it without
replenishing it. It does not matter where the cycle begins – any

natural influx to the cycle will continue its perpetual growth.
Conversely, it does not matter where the economy is stolen from –

any unnatural extraction will stunt the growth, halt the perpetual
motion and flat line it – causing a drought in the water cycle,

starvation in the animal kingdom or disrupt the various ecosystems;
it will flat line the economy.

The lesson here is that the government is part of our ecosystem,
and the economy is an ecosystem of its own that breathes in and

gives life to our other ecosystems. The government does not create
the economy – and therefore cannot fix it. A free market capitalist

economy is part of a perpetual and growing cycle; whereas a

socialist economy is a parasite feeding off of a thriving economy, and
a multitude of parasites will kill the host economy. Soon the
communist vultures and scavengers are feeding on the dying
