The Thin Layer does not work within or for any government or business; however, they are a small elite force directing the affairs between government and businesses. There has always been a Thin Layer of bureaucracies between both public and private businesses. This group represents the Chaos Principle*––what is wrong with government. These groups look into the affairs of businesses and are made up of corporations, Wall Street, banks, unions, special interest groups and even politicians. It is also made up of the czars of government. These groups further employ lawyers and lobbyists, and will even use union strikers to achieve their own personal agendas for their own groups. These agendas are always liberal, by well-meaning individuals that wish to spread the wealth between higher-paying individuals (as in taxes) to the lower-paying or non-working individuals. (This is President Obama’s program of spreading the wealth.)

This Thin Layer are well-paid individuals themselves that make up the groups that support government programs that are hindering this nation’s growth. Programs like health care, Social Security, Medicare, schools, the US Postal Service, and much more. Many of these programs would fall under “entitlements.”** Therefore, these groups are definitely not for ending entitlement programs or for moving to privatize government programs. They will fight tooth and nail to keep the entitlements barely alive—programs that are very sick and need injections of tax dollars, or government tax loopholes, never being fully cured.

To remove this inefficient Thin Layer is to implement conservative beliefs, employing conservative issues. This can best be done at the polling booths at the next presidential election. However, it can be done now by letting Congress know that you want definite results. It is the people that will decide on the issues first. If Congress does not listen, does not hear the people, then it will be the people that will remove and replace Congress at this next election.

One of the best issues*** to reduce the hidden layer is the flat tax. The flat tax would lower the cost alone from the high-tax burden placed on all Americans. The issue of the flat tax would remove this thin, inefficient bureaucratic layer that is taking our American people’s tax dollars and ending their high-paying liberal careers. Their wealth can go back into the workforce to help lower the overall tax burden upon the people. This is the starting issue and the best way to reduce the size and scope of our government.

The Thin Layer themselves would not show any signs of support for a flat tax. The flat tax lessens their group’s effectiveness to maintain control and would take away their liberal agenda’s successfulness. Why? Because the present progressive tax is filled with loopholes, giving them support for their liberal agendas, keeping the public sector programs that consistently lose money, and putting up roadblocks at every turn to keep the support of the public sector alive and well. Take the present tax system away and they lose control to maintain the status quo.

There has always been this thin bureaucratic layer between government and businesses. These groups do not represent the private sector, but operate to not only ignore the private sector but also to put a wedge between private and public businesses. This hidden Thin Layer of liberal bureaucracies between government and the private and public sectors represents some of the highest paid individuals, including the czars that are put into place so that all of this works. Moreover, they represent the most waste of the American taxpayers’ monies.

This Thin Layer employs less than 1% of the workforce with the highest pay. I must admit that I am taking a huge guess at this 1% figure and high pay scale. However, I would assume that economist and governmental records would bare me out and come very close to my estimate.

The main point I wish to make is that by removing this small layer it will help to bring back far more jobs of the approximate 20% in the private sector that are now out of work. Therefore, removing this 1% bureaucratic government layer would be far more beneficial to returning Americans to our nation’s workforce and helping to stimulate the economy. At the same time, the public sector of government will be getting smaller, while the private sector will flourish.

By removing the Thin Layer, Americans will pay less in taxes. More Americans will be going back to the workforce and lowering unemployment’s high welfare program, also lowering the tax burden even further. By putting Americans back to work, the Food Stamp Program is lowered and, again, lowering the taxes of the American people. As more public programs are moving over to the private sector, more tax money can go back to all Americans. Thus, Americans are stimulating the economy and starting a chain reaction that cannot be stopped.

Earlier, I mentioned why the flat tax is not embraced by the Thin Layer. Note, however, even without the flat tax, removing the Thin Layer will still cause a shift to move from entitlements to the private sector. This still lowers the tax burden on Americans. Meanwhile, while this is going on, or even at the same time, passage of the flat tax would further lower the tax burden upon America.

Using a search engine on the Web, one can search “percentage of Americans paying tax” and see that 50%, half of all Americans, are not paying taxes. With removal of the Thin Layer, and/or the simplified flat tax, that would change. All Americans would move to pay taxes because this would be in their own best interest. This adds more money to the government and lowers the tax burden on behalf of the taxpayers paying their unfair share.

Benefits of the removal of entitlements and/or even the flat tax would be immediate, and lower taxes mean that the public would spend more. Businesses would hire more employees, thus lowering welfare, and would dramatically reduce the tax burden across America.

Here is a small list of those belonging to the Thin Layer that further take tax dollars away from Americans: lawyers, accountants, union leaders and lobbyists. All who work for the Thin Layer that head up the changes are in charge of regulations between government and business. All who work for the Thin Layer are achieving the Thin Layer’s agenda for maintaining control of their liberal views/philosophy.

The Thin Layer’s lawyers and accountants are neither associated with government or business. However, they get paid from government (as taxes) to figure out how to make the system run. I am not going to say smoothly. Their numbers are many, and they are adding to the swelling of the bureaucracy.

The removal of the union leaders and lobbyists is much needed. They make changes for their Thin Layer groups to circumvent the system for their own self-interest—huge corporate organizations and businesses that avoid paying taxes, or are given better options than their smaller competition can afford. This bypasses the “Equality” of a nation. Unions and lobbyists will make friends with Congress and wine and dine Congress to achieve their goals. All of this can be removed by passing the flat tax. (See Flat Tax is the Way of the Future, published on March 20, 2006, by Daniel Mitchell.)

Note: The following needs to be checked out by an economist and/or government records. The margin of wealth for the removal of the 1% of government represents very close to the 20% of the out-of-work in the private sector. Thus, the removal of the Thin Layer’s bureaucratic total income would put back the income lost from the 20% unemployed. Therefore, remove the 1% of bureaucrats and you could put back close to 20% that are now out of work. Another factor to consider is that 20% that are back to work will no longer need welfare checks.

Remove the entitlement programs and you remove the VIPs making up the rules and regulations; you, in essence, remove the Thin Layer—along with lawyers, secretaries and all of the computers, paper, pens, paperclips. Buildings, rent and maintenance are also removed from the Thin Layer’s grasp, giving this money back to all Americans in the form of less tax.

It does not take a math wizard to figure this out—the Thin Layer must go. These groups employ some of the highest paid bureaucrats who are also millionaires in their own right.

What I have been getting at in this article is this: The 1% representing this Thin Layer that is for the public sector is inadvertently controlling the majority of the private sector that cannot function properly.****

The Thin Layer’s groups have added to the private sector’s unemployment rate. The Thin Layer has taken money away from the private sector in the form of taxes and has given it to inefficient public businesses that in essence need to have naturally failed. With the addition of the stimulus, this has lowered the wealth of the private sector. Why? Because it ignores the rules of equality for all when it looks to a few major businesses and ignores others.

There are so many groups within the Thin Layer that keeping track of it all is a nightmare, an impossibility—so many rules and regulations that do not make any sense. For instance, when a tax is passed, there are so many businesses getting exemptions for their business. This is not fair for the rest who have to pay.

The American people are having a hard time keeping track of it all. I have tried to simplify this by grouping the many businesses and entitlement programs together as the “Thin Layer.”
