#28 Elimination of Property taxes
If a land owner is a current or retired member of the
military. They need not pay any property taxes. Current members include state
reserves as well as active military. They also include police. They do not
include, by themselves, fire fighters or civil servants unless they are part of
the reserves. In simple terms your task includes being shot at or shooting
others you do not pay taxes. If you support these people directly in military
service you also do not pay taxes.
In addition, if you are a producer, that is to say if you
produce more on your land then consume you also do not pay taxes. Self-sufficient
households do not pay taxes.
The short fall of government funds reduced by the elimination
of property taxes, would be made up by sales and sin taxes.
Some refinement of this base idea is needed.

# 26 Billions, and billions of hamburgers.
Granted these claims are imagined, they are abstract ideas.
No-one has lined up a billion, billion hamburgers to actually encircle the
globe. They are concepts of the mind. Lining up a billion, billion hamburgers,
even if they could be cooked and distributed, would take the effort of hundreds
of thousands of people, countless trucks, an undefined amount of restaurants,
and the production of even more farms, and food processors. I could calculate
what would be needed, but I won’t at this time.
My point is, encircling the globe with hamburgers can be
calculated. We could determine to a gram how much hamburger would be needed,
how many buns, how many of all the requirements.
With this in mind, we can equally, or should be able to,
calculate the exact requirements to build an interstate highway from the Coast
of China to the Coast of France. The only question is why are we not doing so?
We know the value of an interstate highways system. One only need to read about
or visit the United States to know how successful they have been.
I could argue that this is a pro-growth plan. It would
employee thousands if not millions of people. The businesses and cities that
would grow up around the entrances and exits would be a reason in themselves.
There for, let’s do the planning of requirements. It’s much
more fruitful then lining up a billion, billion hamburgers.

# 25 Strict Licenses for Owners of Properties that contain humans
We need to enact laws that promote a national standard for rental properties. Specifically smaller owners of properties where the income margin from the properties are not sufficient to live healthy, and keep them in perpetual debt or near the margin of debt.
This applies to all businesses, and people.
The Freedom from want must be proactive in such a way that it prevents life on the margin of sustainability. To illustrate, a owner has sells goods or services, but the margin of income keeps them at or near the poverty line, and any unforeseen event causes them to need to compromise the integrity of standards and/or pay for the event by taking out debts or cutting into sustenance level budgets.
Sustenance level budget is the base cost of human maintenance. In other words, food, water, milk, juice, proteins, minerals, and vitamins. The cost of living. Home payments, heat or cooling payments, electricity. No luxury or sin tax goods and services.
The reason for this is that a wealthy person, with little or no cash flow, and entrapped by society (retired, unable, untrained to work, etc.), is in fact a poor person. You can be wealthy, but not rich. Historically a person like this would be called the lessor nobility. Far removed from the king and queen, living on property, and reliant on rental income. These people are the bane of the tenant, as they never have the means to improve the property. They also feel that tenants are the bane of there existence, blaming the lack of income on the tenants inability to pay. The slightest damage to the property, with the slightest cost of repair becomes a huge problem for both tenant and property owner.
To prevent this, standards must propagated that prevent these situations. One idea would be to have a professional license be required and maintained in order to rent property. The license would be revoked if the standards were not met. For example, smaller units would require another source of income to the property owner, Smaller unit owners must have a limited time where they must grow the business or give up the right of rental to a professional rental agent(cy). Professional rental agencies would have to have stricter license and standards that protect the tenant, the property owner, the city, region, district, insurance agent(cies) and themselves. The rental agencies would have to meet codes and improve/upgrade properties. The government could provide grants to them to provide upgrades where the owner could not afford to do so. The better the property the more the Rental Agent would pay for it to the owner, and charge to the tenant.
This is needed because, much like insurance companies, smaller owners do not have the coverage or clients needed to cover for losses. The Rental Agency would bridge the gap between private property owners, and large development Rental/property owners.
An after thought to this is that we require special bus licenses for drivers of buses that are intended to save the passengers life's. Why are we not considering landlords to also be the 'drivers' of tenant 'passengers'?

# 23 Police Violence
Only non-lethal weapons
should be used by internal police forces.
The only argument I have
heard is that they, non-lethal weapons, can be lethal also. Which is true. Never the less, they are much less lethal then lethal weapons. 100% chance of death by a lethal weapon, vs. 1% chance of death by a non-lethal weapon. If asked which one would you choose to be shot at you?
I don’t have metrics on
deaths by non-lethal or lethal weapons. But, a chance of 50%
lethality or less, from a non-lethal weapons, versa 50% or more lethality, from
lethal weapons means lives saved!
For the military and
intelligence operations where one side only has lethal weapons.
A two tier assault
method should be used. With the primary weapons and people first in, being
non-lethal. Take out everyone possible in the first 1-30 seconds. 2nd line of
Offense would either have additional non-lethal or lethal weapons and personal
that only task is to target and take out any hostile that aims a lethal weapon
towards our personal. 3rd line would have lethal weapons, with the same mission
as line 2. The number of people and type of weapons used in the 2nd
and 3rd line would be determined by the number of hostiles. The first line must
be maintained, and at full personel at all times of the operations during a
successful operation. Mission planners should plan for 3 times the number of
hostles to be in the 1st line. 3 times is a minimum, 5, 10 or 20 times the
personal is better.
Most if not all hostage
or intelligence situations need to also use a similar method.
Beat Cops will be
punished if they pull a lethal weapon before a non-lethal one if they are the
first to attack. They can use their own judgement for defense.
Charm is favored over
intimidation. Knowledge and closeness to the good people, is encouraged. You
should know everyone in you beat of the city, and be able to shake hands with
them.

# 22 On Minimum Wage
Goal:
To set the cost of living above a substance level if you are a full time worker.
1) Minimum wage lower then min cost of living + government redirection of corporate profits via tax’s to workers in order to equal cost of living. With increased processing fees by government.
2) Higher minimum wage that equals cost of living. That replaces the increase in tax’s needed in 1) with direct loss of profits.
3) Cost of living becomes lower. No wage change or tax on profits, decrease in profits. Good luck getting anyone to do this.
Since 3 is impossible, and 1 actually increases costs, 2 is the only answer.

# 20 The Prestige Act
The Prestige Act, which might be better known as the get out
of jail free card.
This is a Bill, written by me, that proposes to legalize a
system of restitution to humanity where it is otherwise not recognized. For
example in a nations legal system.
Prestige defined by (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/prestige)
is the standing or estimation in the eyes of people: weight
or credit in general opinion.
This weight or credit has never been
measured, quantified or a value given to it. When a person gains prestige they
are known as a very prestigious person. They might hold metals or certificates
from accredited organizations that say they are prestigious in a certain area
or skill, such as the professions. They can lose this accreditation if they
commit acts that violate the principles of accreditation. For example
malpractice by a doctor or disbarment of a lawyer. Because in the past, mathematical
methods were very cumbersome to use only different words would convey positive
or negative prestige. Disbarment, malpractice, shame. These words were never
given value or weight. In addition they were never added or subtracted from
each other, except in a very clumsy way. For example a prominent citizen, with
many acts that have benefited the people, charged with a minor crime, would be
sentenced to community service, instead of a more severe form of retribution
such as imprisonment. For example the same citizen, committing horrendous acts against
humanity would not be given a light sentence, rather they would receive the
most severe punishments. For example a older system of regulation is misused by
banks and banking officers to glean greater profits at the betterment of the
owners of the bank, but to the detriment of humanity. The proper measurement of
negative prestige would be accessed, as well as financial cost, and personal
cost. Businesses with negative prestige would be possible.
The prestige act would allow for the
currency of prestige to be used in courts of law to determine retribution and sentencing
of people and groups.
The Act is required where prestige isn't
considered.
Prestige and the Currency of Prestige will
be assessed by the system of prestige determination rules. The initial rules
will be made by me. These rules will then be opened to public debate, for the
purposes of adjustment of the values to acts that gain or subtract (increase or
decrease/ earn or cost) Prestige.
Basic rules of Prestige
Measurement of prestige is done with
metrics. Actions contribute positively or negatively to a entities prestige.
People are not required to participate.
Even if you are being measured you have the freedom to have the measurement of
prestige used or not used.
Citizens are required to participate. Basic
eligibility to be a pubic officer is to allow use of prestige, negative or positive.
Assessment of prestige must be accessible
and have clear steps to gain or lose prestige. At first this will be done by a
single online site, which will have a person’s profile for the purpose of identification,
a list of positive and negative acts of gain/loss of prestige, a method of the
people voting positively or negatively on the values of acts that
increase/decrease prestige. The best effort will be to maintain a list of common,
less common, and rare positive and negative actions, and the ability to vote up
or down the value of prestige. Value of act divided by number of people that
express and positive or negative value for the act. In other worked Prestige of
Act=number submitted to be counted/number of people voting. Prestige= Value/people.
Some values of prestige will be only given negative or positive values, and
some values may or may not be in a range.
Examples:
Volunteering service for organizations benefiting
community (ies) earns a person prestige. Examples, Giving Blood, Clean-up
Crews, in general volunteer service in a non-profit organization.
Malpractice, false representation, disbarment
count as negatives, values to be determined by voter participation.
Declarations of war count as negative prestige for a nation. Multiple
declarations of war will also increase a different value (Bad Boy effect) to be
explained in an additional document.
Prestige becomes effectively a ‘social’
currency. Earn prestige for good deeds, pay prestige for acts of bad
deeds.
It extends a entities worth beyond simple
rich or poor definitions.
Can be negative, can be in debt, and Can
procure loans of amounts of prestige from authorized prestige banks. Works just
like currency. Units of currency will be coins and bills. Pennies, Dollars,
Kilos, Megs.
This is only a draft document. There will be a website announced that will serve as the executioner of this system of currency. No other forms of social currency are recognized, past, currently, or future. People are not required to participate unless they desire to be citizens.

#18 Standard deviation curve of humanity.
10% have decreased abilities in one way or more. 10% have
increased abilities in one way or another.
Now let’s simplify humanity to 3 people. One a great hunter
who always brings home more than they can eat, one a hunter able to feed one
person and one person that cannot hunt, and only consumes. {note: a better
analogy would be 1 great hunter, 8 hunters, and 1 non-hunter}
Who is best able to provide food to the person that cannot
hunt? The Great Hunter. If the normal hunter feeds the non-hunter, they both
will slowly stave on half a proper diet.
Now do the two other people have to gang up on the great
hunter to get his food or does the great hunter prevent wasted, rotted food,
and give to the non-hunter. Does the great hunter also give to the normal
hunter? Most likely not, that hunter has food, and maybe pride in hunting. Is
the non-hunter not proud? Maybe, or maybe the non-hunter can be productive to
the group in other ways.
Back to the real world. Who are the great hunter, the normal
hunter and the non-hunter? The Charities say the great hunters are
corporations. The corporations say the Unions, and charities are the poor. In
the middle is the normal or common man. The normal everyday worker that gives
to charity and works at a corporation just needs to figure out who to vote for,
as neither group represents them. One day it’s the Republicans, the next it’s
the Democrats, which isn’t a very good way to run a nation. Thus there becomes
a need for an Independent mind, Interested in all of humanity to lead. That’s
me. I will write more as time allows, but for now, know that all articles in
all media is subject to inspection and analysis.
Right now I find both parties guilty of looking only after
their own interests, and not the interests of humanity.

#17 More 'stick' in with Unemployment Insurance
Put a little more 'stick' in with this 'carrot' of a
program.
Enforcement of benefits verses 'are you looking for work', in the United States 'Unemployment Insurance' Program, is a farce. With
little creative gamesmanship you can game the system to provide you with an
income for extended amounts of time with 'Extended' unemployment Insurance. I
would add into the stipulation that you receive insurance that you must work or
be studying in or on government projects in return. Businesses would also be
vetted, and allowed to purchase your labor at lower then minimum wage for a
short time period.

# 16 Eliminating Hunger in America
Feeding America
Certified Food stamps, WIC, Suppliemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Restaurants.
It has been said that America has the fattest poor people in
the world. Typically people respond that it’s that cheap food has lots of fat.
While this is true it doesn't cut to the heart of the problem. One problem is
that many people are poor simply because they cannot compete. They are the
bottom 10 percentile. They didn’t learn how to read, they are not computer
literate, and they have developmental problems, whatever. If I was playing dungeons
and dragons still I would say these are all those discarded dice rolls you made
when making your character. They have 3-5 points of strength, intelligence,
wisdom, dexterity, charisma, or constitution.
That said, in America we give people money to get food if
they are poor. The most recent name for this is SNAP What we don’t do is cook for them. What makes you think they
know how to do anything more than warm up a can of beans or eat a hot-dog microwaved
in hot water?
Why don’t restaurants serve the poor? One, they don’t have
money. Two they can’t accept the type of money they are given. Three, there is
no profit in it.
Solution,
Allow certified restaurants, to accept SNAP cards. These restaurants
can be franchises or chains, faith based, or not. The menus would need to be
simple, affordable food. Think Mac and cheese, Spaghetti and meat sauce. What
we call staples, hearty meals, or comfort foods. Big pots and casseroles. The
key being how cheap are the menus. Restaurants would earn rewards for feeding
the most with the least, for the least. Serve a healthy pre-determined recipe
to 10,000 people for $1.00, for example 8 ounces of mac and cheese, with
computerized, unaltered results. Then you receive a percentage of the profits
of all the restaurants in the same classification. In other words, a portion of
the income tax’s collected from all the restaurant’s go to your restaurant.
Some more information on what SNAP does currently.
http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2011/09/using-snap-benefits-for-fast-food-restaurants-is-a-state-decision/245085/
-It might go without saying but the qualifications for this would need to change, and it would be best to make this change at the national level, after a few prototype programs are administered in small, medium and large states.
http://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/retailers/eligible.htm
Hot food restriction would need to change.
More clarification:
Restaurants would need to serve a menu of 3 to 10 pre-determined and required menu items that meet FDA health and nutrition guidelines.

# 15 Expansion of the Airspace to allow for virtual highways in the sky.
These Air Cars will be able to land anywhere, and actually
function better at low speeds.
Rules will need be made to address how these Air
cars come into and out of our communities. Both at a low altitude for landing
in your driveway or rooftop and at higher altitudes.
In addition, these cars will have built in digital wireless
communications which will allow for data to be transmitted to and from them
informing each other and their surroundings where they are and how fast they
are going.
This allows for 2 opportunities.
1)
The construction of virtual highways and
airspace at different levels of height, where speed and directions can be
regulated
2)
The freeing of people from the ground requirements
of ground based roadways so that faster commutes can be designed and obtained
The requirements of this to happen are:
1)
Construction of Air Car factories, that will
build, distribute and sell the Air Cars.
2)
Construction, deployment and training of virtual
highway designers
That said, regulations and designs of virtual highways are
only necessary if we desire to prevent collisions, and reduce traffic above our
homes. It is not needed if no one minds AirCars ten feet above your home traveling
at 220 miles per hour.
Please Note:
I won't get into how they are designed. You can contact me if you would like to participate in a trial license to manufacture Air Cars or would like to negotiate some other deal.
Drones should be treated by size. For instance, if no larger then the largest model airplane (3-4 feet) they should be treated as such. Drones of this size are allowed over residential zones. They are not allowed to 'buzz' unaware people but are allowed to hover over aware people to provide shade, cooling, and other useful purposes.

#14 Transperancy
There is no reason to not be transparent in all actions. We all know the good, the bad and the ugly sides of humanity. There isn't any story we haven't been told. Well, actually there are many stories that haven't been told. That said, why hide your shame? There is no shame unless you make it shameful. Pride causes shame. Ego. Release your ego and move on. In the same way we as a society need to learn what is and what isn't. As camera's become cheaper, there will be no such thing as privacy. There are people that don't want you to know they are recording you. All public camera's transmissions should be made public, in real time.The people paid for them, they get to watch them. The representatives, agents, and the people tasked with enforcing the will of the people shall also have access to these video feeds. Transparency.

# 12 Where United Earth Is
I promote the idea of a border-less Earth. That said, this is impractical at the moment. If you really need to know why it's because all the Nations of the Earth have spent a long time becoming who they are, even if it is still a little mixed up. But what do you expect when the only constant is Change, and Change, Changes. That is a different subject. Where we do have a border-less Earth is where United Earth is to be established. There is only one place that fits that description, The Oceans outside of the territorial limits of the Nations. Thus that is where United Earth first needs to establish itself.
In particular the Organization of Humanity of United Earth needs to regulate the oceans the sky above the oceans s, the surface of, and floor of, and beneath the floor of all the worlds oceans.
So I hereby declare United Earth, representing all of Humanity, and for and by Humanity, owner and possessor of all Oceans outside the Territorial limits of the current nations of Earth.
I also declare that all Space around the star known as Sol from it's center with a radius outward of 10 light years also the Provence of United Earth. Owned by Humanity and the people of the Sol system. This does not include the normal heights of nations or planets that possess atmospheres, based on practical limits. In other words, if you can't get to that height, then it's not yours. Moons are owned by the People of the Planets they orbit.
All mineral resources being mined or grown are subject to taxation. Although Humanity forgoes the right to do so at this time.
This is enforced by Me, Organizer and current holder of the Office of Humanity. Cabinet members, offices, departments and agency positions are currently being actively recruited.

societies combined with the improvements in communication technologies to lay
the basis for the development of new approaches to the promotion of creating
demand for the rapidly increasing output of goods by increasingly efficient
industrial systems. Drawing upon increased understanding of the nature of human
compulsions shaped by the environment around them, advertisers would also learn
lessons gained by States in their propaganda efforts during periods of war to
rally the population to support the goals of the nation in its conflict. The
result would be a rapid expansion of the use of simple, direct means of
advertising to popularize new products and increase the appeal and demand for
established products would become permanent features of popular culture as the
twentieth century evolved, and would eventually come to impact other realms of
public life, including politics. This isbased on the ideas and writtings presented in http://www.paradoxian.org/vickywiki/index.php/Culture_Inventions#Mass_Advertising
From Television, to movies, and the internet, these facts must be recognized,
and combated with the knowledge of what is a Fallacious Argument. I’ve found a
good source of what is a fallacious argument to be found at http://www.don-lindsay-archive.org/skeptic/arguments.htm

# 10 Mutualism
As our society becomes more industrialized in the long, to very long term, we need to recognize that the majority of humans may become unemployed. While I would like all these so called unemployed people to continue to be individual craftsmen, that isn't always feasible for all people. To address this need to support the nation, and in deed humanity, some great thinkers came up with a social philosophy. It is called Mutualism.
---------------------------
Mutualism recognized industrialization would require larger means of production than one laborer could manage. In other words, as industrialization increases, then need for labor decreases. There would be individual laborers working as independent craftsmen, but there also would need to be free, democratic associations of workers (or former workers) sharing equally in the ownership of the means of production such a factories. Goods produced by the factories would still be priced according to the total cost to the associated laborers, who would share the proceeds equally. This is why I advocate that everyone should become an owner in the means of production. That is to say, own stock in the company you work for, by grant or purchase, and as many other companies as you are able.
Economic viability requires credit, which the mutualists understood. They proposed mutually held savings banks (today we call these credit unions, although most if not all are watered down versions) which would lend money only at an interest rate required to meet the administrative costs of operating the bank. The stakeholders in the banks would be the freely associating laborers who benefited from the credit.
Mutualism opposed both the collectivization of property under communism and the accumulation of property under capitalism. Proudhon (and my-self, see rental policies) also rejected what he called the possession of property in which the property holder could make money by rents or impede others from using the property. Instead, mutualism supported private ownership of that amount of property required by a laborer to support the means of production the laborer or laborers controlled.
Bonuses based on false earnings statements, which have been restated to be lower at a later time. And they still get their bonuses.
Under the current structure of most (in not all) corporations, the CEO, and the executive staff create all the value, and workers create almost nothing.
If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If CFO’s and Financial managers at those companies were angels, no corporate governance would be necessary.
Solution 1
Stock is paid to employee and Employees can sell bonds to the company. All stock is voting stock.
Solution 2
See Rental Policy
Solution 3
A new model of business needs to be created. (I'm working on this)
