Part One
Split-Run
America (Split-A)
versus
Hamilton-America (Split-B)
What Is A Split-Run?
The largest marketing industry — direct-mail
— sends advertisement to you through the
mail. The reason direct mail dwarfs all
other forms of advertising, including
television, is because of its effectiveness.
And the reason direct mail is so effective
is because of something called the
split-run.
Here is how it works: in a mailing (called
“a run”), every two names get “split” — the
first name and address (split-A) gets mailed
the established advertisement (“the
control”); the second name and address
(split-B) gets mailed the test
advertisement. That is known as an a,b
split-run. The response (i.e., the
orders) quickly and undeniably tells us
which approach was more effective. There is
no guesswork: the numbers tell us what works
and what does not work. We need no
“brilliant” professors or “expert” analysts
telling us what we should do. The numbers
tell us everything we need to know.
Having spent my life in the direct-mail
industry, I shake my head whenever I hear
some “brilliant expert” saying “I think
this…” or “I think that…” For, living
my life by the unlying and unthinking
numbers, I know my answers are
correct.
During the fourth-quarter 2008 worldwide
financial implosion, I heard over and over
“expert” commentators on television and on
the radio saying “I think…” “I think…” “I
think…” I noticed that they were wrong as
much as they were right. In other words,
their many opinions meant nothing above the
odds.
One day, when I had heard one-too-many “I
think…” I blurted, “God, I just want to
split-run this country!”
Bingo.
The light turned on in my head. Over the
next few weeks, I wrote Split-Run.
Chapter One
Imagine…No Taxes!
In Split-Run, we hypothetically a,b
split America. Split-A is the control — the
half of the country with the same political
and economic policies that exist now.
Split-B is the test — the half of the
country with different political and
economic policies described within…starting
with no taxes. I will explain later
how the government will generate its money,
but one step at a time.
No taxes. What happens? Well, I know I
personally move to Split-B! To make Split-B
sound a little less awkward, let’s call
Split-B Hamilton-America. (I apologize for
its egotistical appearance, but I have to
call Split-B something, and this is my
hypothetical country.)
In fact, with no taxes, most people owning a
business move to Split-B — move to
Hamilton-America. Of course, businesses are
where the jobs are — so more and more people
who are badly wounded by the collapsing job
world in Split-A — in America — move to
Hamilton-America to find good jobs.
Hamilton-America booms. Factories and office
buildings fill up and more get built to
accommodate the new businesses rushing in.
Homes get bought and more get built to house
the job-searching people rushing in.
In short, the smartest job creators, both
burgeoning entrepreneurs and established
business owners, and the hardest-working
people ambitious for work flock to
Hamilton-America. The economy and standards
of living soar in Hamilton-America.
Meanwhile, the lazy moochers stay home, in
America. The economy and standards of living
sink in America.
Moreover, with no taxes, the smartest job
creators and hardest working people rush
into Hamilton-America not only from America,
but from around the world. They leave behind
their sinking economies and tax-crazed
countries. Indeed, the smartest creators and
hardest working people in the whole wide
world end up in Hamilton-America!
Hamilton-America becomes the booming melting
pot America once was. Hamilton-America is
the beneficiary of a world-wide brain-drain!
Schools, infrastructure, construction, real
estate, publishing, clothing, farming,
energy…all industries produce and boom. Very
quickly, Hamilton-America becomes the envy
of the world. Hamilton-America experiences
unprecedented prosperity as America
experiences unprecedented poverty. Sister
America sadly suffers another Great
Depression.
Chapter Two
Immigration — Let the Creators Come!
Hamilton-America not only has no taxes; it
also has no welfare, no hand-outs. So, as in
the early days of America, only the best of
the foreigners – the smartest job creators
and hardest workers — come to
Hamilton-America. We get the best in the
world — the best value creators, best job
creators, and the hardest working people
from around the world. The lazy moochers
never come, for there is no welfare for
them. They have to work for their existence
in Hamilton-America, so the inherently lazy
foreigners stay in their existing countries
and continue receiving from the large
“social good” programs.
Early America was known as the land of
opportunity. People from all around the
world came to America to build or
contribute. None of those early immigrants
came here with the idea of taking from our
government. They came here with a dream and
a passion to fulfill that dream.
Those early immigrants contributed
enormously to America’s rising prosperity.
Some of those immigrants built the original
industrial empires in America.
Hamilton-America is the revival of that time
of passion and production.
Meanwhile, America continues her stiff
resistance to simple, hard-working
immigrants. At the same time, America grows
her welfare programs that ultimately
motivate immigrants toward entitlements and
laziness. America gets pulled under the
weight of her growing welfare state as she
begins to drown in debt.
Chapter Three
Small Government / Rich Main Street
Hamilton-America booms…growing, building,
producing as the smartest creators and
hardest workers rush here from America and
from around the world. In this booming
economy, standards of living keep rising.
Why? It all started with no taxes.
Now, the smartest creators come to
Hamilton-America to build their businesses
here. The hardest workers follow to work for
those businesses.
Well, no taxes and booming economy
give us the data — the unlying numbers — we
need to determine the role of government in
Hamilton-America. Essentially in
Hamilton-America, the government will get
out of the way. That was the case
in early America when our country was the
envy of the world. Now, American industry is
mired in regulations, legislation, taxes.
America, Split-A, is stuck and sinking in
ineffectiveness. America is falling.
Hamilton-America, on the other hand, is free
of government drag. The role of government
returns to protection only, which
includes national defense, justice, courts,
police, prisons.
In 1787, the U.S. Constitution supplanted
suppressive rule of man with nearly flawless
rule of law. A single, missing integration
allowed power-seeking man to steadily
“misinterpret” the Constitution and
gradually weaken its power to limit
government. Like a resurging disease thought
to have been eradicated, the rule of man has
adapted and gained strength against rule of
law, against the U.S. Constitution. The
missing integration that would have
permanently protected the U.S. Constitution
from the resurgence of rule of man is the
Prime Law. In Hamilton-America, the
ratification of the Prime Law as an
amendment to the nearly flawless original
U.S. Constitution makes the difference
between America’s less and less effective
Constitution and Hamilton-America’s
incorruptible Constitution. The Prime Law,
as defined later, guarantees a
get-out-of-the-way government. The Prime Law
is the difference between sinking into
poverty (split-A America) versus soaring
onto prosperity (split-B Hamilton-America).
Chapter Four
Universal Wealth
The Great Technological Revolution
The huge bonanza that Hamilton-America
enjoys that early America did not
enjoy is high-technology. Unregulated,
rapidly advancing high-technology drives
costs to fractions and multiplies buying
power, making consumers wealthier and
wealthier.
Let us look at one industry that rose so
quickly that the government did not know how
to entangle it in regulations and
legislation: the personal computer industry
of the late twentieth century and early
twenty-first century.
Specifically, within that industry,
consumers’ buying power multiplied a
thousandfold. In other words, computer
consumers became computer rich. Indeed,
computer consumers could purchase computer
power that only multi-millionaires could buy
just a few years earlier.
Now, in this modern era of high-technology,
imagine that wealth-phenomenon spreading
throughout all industries…a natural
“millionaire phenomenon” today once
government gets out of the way.
America’s mainstream media, however,
continues to play the blame-game and promote
the out-of-context lie that lack of
government regulation caused the 2008
financial collapse. Hamilton-America, on the
other hand, just winks and smiles as the
brightest creators and most ambitious
workers immigrate from America to
Hamilton-America. As the wealth in America
evaporates, the wealth in Hamilton-America
explodes. All the people become rich
in the ensuing Great Technological
Revolution that drives prices down to
fractions as seen in the computer
revolution, the forerunner. The people’s
buying power quickly multiplies a
hundredfold or more.
Chapter Five
Universal Health
The Great Technological Revolution
The health care in America continues to
deteriorate. Making the problem worse,
bureaucratic regulations have caused more
and more doctors to slave longer and longer
hours for less and less money.
The good doctors shake their heads, pack
their bags, and leave for Hamilton-America.
The medical industry in America, perhaps
more than any other industry, is submerged
in bureaucratic regulation. Therefore, the
medical and health-care industries, deprived
of freedom (the oxygen to creative
progress), have been severely retarded
by big government.
Hamilton-America frees the medical and
health-care industries. Doctors, surgeons,
research doctors, scientists can make good
money again. They can create values without
being punished. Insurance premiums collapse
as frivolous lawsuits cannot stand up to the
Prime Law (revealed soon). Government gets
out of the way in Hamilton-America. Medical
research investments soar as
cost-prohibitive FDA-like regulations
vanish. The most competent doctors,
surgeons, research doctors, scientists and
pharmaceutical companies flee America for
Hamilton-America just as fast as they can!
Furthermore, without the regulatory web
catching and eating alive all aggressive
research and progress, Hamilton-America
becomes the health beacon of the world.
Free as the computer industry, the Great
Technological Revolution moves into the
health and medical industries. Prices begin
dropping. Health care costs plunge. Like the
computers, health care, cures, and medicine
become cheaper and cheaper yet better and
better. Very quickly, the most affordable
and best health-care in the world welcomes
all those coming to Hamilton-America.
As America calls for more and more FDA
regulations to control the pharmaceutical
companies, regulate medical research, and
approve medicines in order “to protect the
people”, Hamilton-America just sighs.
Indeed, there is no longer a need to point
out and argue the many faults of a ruling
class, for people can just get up and leave
now — leave for Hamilton-America.
Hamilton-America not only becomes the
fastest growing and most prosperous nation
in history, it also becomes the most
healthy! Hamilton-America enjoys the
brightest research doctors and scientists in
the world backed by the largest pools of
investment-money for costly research
projects finally free of cost-prohibitive
self-serving political regulations. With the
most brilliant doctors and scientists backed
by unprecedented research funds,
Hamilton-America routinely produces medical
breakthrough after breakthrough; and with a
get-out-of-the-way government, the
investment companies can bring those
life-saving medical breakthroughs to the
people at increasingly affordable prices.
…In sister America, just the most simple
insurance policy becomes unaffordable. |
