Ok, hear me out. Low tax rates and super growth? It's like speeding up the train into the wall, but what if something removes that wall for us before we hit it? Low taxes allow the individual more freedom, but the government and the services it provides are the catch.

Now lets just say we allow the middle class a new form of power. The ability to make any object that they wish by creating it at their own house with the vast amount of data and information available on the internet. Create a physical form of any shape and give it as much life as it needs. Need a very specific catapult to throw you your keys when you get to your car? Or want to create an automated self maintaining garden? Create a robot that can recognize voice commands, faces and connect to Wifi.

What I'm talking about is 2 technological revolutions, that combined, have the chance to allow the individual to materialize thought greater than ever before. Both 3D printers and circuit boards(rasberry pi ect) have been trying to break the cost barrier to get into every home. What hasn't been talked about is the outcome of these reaching the middle class and the creations that could be made. It's becoming incredibly easy to make hardware and software, as open source projects and tutorials are very popular in the tech world. One guy makes a 3D mechanism to take care of a 50, by 50 inch block of dirt, and allows a slot for an easily programmable board, BOOM anybody with a printer can now have a small garden, programmed to take care of whatever plant is inside it. Water storage, distributions, lighting, in the realm of programming it's actually incredibly simple.

The best way I can explain this, Think back to when you were a kid and you got a lego set, You picked something wicked because you wanted to build it, and you were hyped for the final creation. You followed the included instructions, with the included pieces. Think of kids 10 years from now when they get their parents to ship all the extra pieces from amazon and they build this. Something like that's gonna be a kids project, done step by step. 3D printer users will become the new Craftsmen of the world. The range of what can be created with physical objects and computers is well ...., whatever can be made of thought and reality.

I'm not saying the tax thing is a good idea at all, i'm just saying that a way to survive it is the middle class being formed into a creative workforce. Able to innovate and make things more efficient all around the world. Whenever a realm of creation like the internet or movies gets into the hands of the mass, it reaches new levels of design. Look at video games, the indie market has been creating games that have huge experiences with way less work, Look at No Man's Sky. The entire galaxy is generated with an algorithm, each on of those stars is a world you can explore. It's a game built by humans, too big for any human to explore.

It's like discovering Trees all over again, craftsmen will be formed all over the world. Or not you know, because this is all theoretical forward thinking.

Don't get me wrong, you can make anything RIGHT NOW, like look at this. It's just that the level of ease is increasing incredibly.

tax cuts do not create deficits ... government overspending does
