    Supply side economics, voodoo economics, has been shown that it does not work. If there is no demand, deflation will occur with a depression. So it is beneficial for free enterprise that people should have money buy goods and thereby increase demand. By paying more taxes, money will be distributed by government to the poor. If the rich hord their money, it does not help the economy as stated in Gresham’s Law, good money drives out the bad money. Hakesef koneh es hazahav, the good money, gold will be horded and not used as currency rather silver. the less valued will.

    There is a known quoted Rambam אשרי מי שכלו שנותיו מהרה. This world is a suffering, if not for improving ourselves and others. So. if someone satisfied his assignment in this world and gets his next world soon is beneficial for tbe niftar certainly not for those left behind. The Chasam Sofer explains that by Jews. it is first night than daytime but by the goyim is the reverse. By the Jews first this world then next world. First six days of work and then shabbos. When in comes to tbe tamid. mitzvos, the opposite is true. We can accomplish more in this world then the next, so it is first day then night.

    Why is the inequality between the rich and the poor constantly growing? Money makes money. The poor have no money to invest and create wealth.

    AAQ, free enterprise only cares in not paying taxes but not for the poor, let them distrubute the excess money by setting up more foundations which helps them in the long run by increasing demand and growing the economy and not buying back their own stocks. Some states care and others don’t. what should the Federal government do?

    There are certain depictions in the Zohar, so plain words can also be secrets as they refer to something else.

    Economics – the way to distibute scarce resources in an optimal way. Greshams law says, that bad money drives out good money from circulation as people hold one to good noney. Hakesef kona es hazahav as the more worth, gold is merchandise and the less worth, silver is the currency. The rich save their wealth which does not grow the economy except for lending out money which the poor cannot afford because of the interest.

    The passing on of tzadikim is greater than the destruction of the Beis Hamimdash. The destruction of tbe Beis Bamimdash we remember once a year, but the loss of tzadikim is with us.

    The Chasan Sofer explains the passage on the Haggadah, we shoulld be able to eat there from the sacrifices and pesachim were the blood was sprinkled on the walls of the mizbeach larotzan, with acceptance. Indicating something pleasant. This korbonos are not taken as pleasant. When tzadikim pass on. it is a kapara for all of us as they have satisfied their temporary assignment and it might hurt us being compared to them, saying why we are not like them but for above they should live on to spread their rightiousness.

    The Peninim Yekorim on Parashas Ki Savo indicates in the name of a gadol that there are 676 words in the tochaachos over there and 26 shemos each adding up to 26 total, 26×26 = 676. This is hinted in the pasuk, rabos raos tzadik. Moshe Rabbenu mentions 676 words of tochacha, umikulom yatzulenu Hashem, and from all Haahem times Hashem protects us.

    The first min $600.00 was distributed in January. You must file for a refund for this indicatiing your banking information to receive this and the next check of min $1400 from the IRS as a direct deposit before May 17th. If you use software to file and possibly the previous year (2019) was not received, enter ‘0’ into the AGI amount.

    Maybe the remez is in tbe yotzer of Parashas Parah, המת בבית אינו טמא when the dead is in the house, it is not tomei יצא ממנו אותו מטמא if it left from it, makes it tomei. What is the meaning? They say it talks about a dead fetus in the mothers womb. The tomei arrives only after it left but when it is there, it is too late.

    The Chasan Sofer explains that tefilas arvis is a reshus as a person should daven when it is going good for him and not wait when he is in distress. We should not wait when we are obligated when it comes to thanking Hashem. The Ramban says that in eis tzara it is a mitzva min hatorah to pray bacause then a person is forced to daven because of his circumstances. The Dubner explains that even though Yisro appreciated krias yam suf and millchemes amolek but that the servitude in mitzraim was also for our benefit Moshe Rabbenu had to tell him. He explaines where the means seems bad but the end turns out to be good, we must thank for the means just as for the end.

    Acharei. the highest level of kedusha is still the neshama. The Chasam Sofer explains that the mishkan can not be built on shabbos but for pikuach nefesh, for saving life, shabbos is violated. The thirteen midas of Hashem are against the thirteen midas of derivatuon of the Torah, kel is qgainst a kal vechomer. What is this kal vechomer? I think when we take the wrong sefer torah out by mistake we roll, mish, as not to show it to be defective, so how we should watch not hurt a Jew who has a holy chelek alokai mimaal, heavenly neshama.

    The rich who don’t help themselves with the tax cuts to grow the economy by investing and creating jobs must be forced to help others and thereby helping themselves and debt will not increase through increasing in their taxes.

    There is a validated story of my Rebbi who when he was young was called in Hungary to be drafted into the army. He went to Rav Yanoson Steif ztz’l who told him to say the incantation, lachash, izei debei tabche shemaina minei. the goats in the slaughter house are fatter than me. As he ended saying it, his hand turned to green blotches as a metzora. When the doctor saw him, he threw him out fearing to be infected. When he went outside, the whole thing disappeared.

    I heard once, if you are by a Rebbe, the Rebbe is the Shulchan Aruch but when away from the Rebbe the Shulchan Aruch is the Rebbe. So i would agree with smerel to follow your Rebbi in mehalach and hashkafa as gedolim many times disagree.

    There might be a difference in the reason whether to wash the moustache or not. If because of the story yes if because of melach sedomis no. Women don’t wash their hands as they have no moustache and they know that did not use melach sedomis.

    The gemora is Eruvin 14a asks on the mishna how do we know that? Why don’t we measure it but the gemora asks Tosfas and the Rambam’s kashyeh, how do we know that since the value of PI is not known exactly, we can approximate it by 3?
