Another prejudice to overcome is the idea that if we just “give people money” they will waste or abuse it or become alcoholics or drug addicts. But people tend to respond positively to social benefits and make the most of opportunities when presented. Slackers always must face their own consciences and generally find it easier to live up to community expectations than live as self-indulgent outcasts.
I'm continuing from the last post. The above clearly confuses wealth, money, and currency. Everyone confuses these realities, ideas, and perceptions. The bottom line is: You cannot give away something that does not exist. This SCHEME (National Dividend SYSTEM) cannot work well if the end result is to punish productivity. Someone loses and someone gains. Why?
If you inspect my earlier example of how a TYRANT could TAX people who don’t purchase Solar Panels and not TAX people who do purchase Solar Panels, then, you can accuse my example of doing the same thing. The difference is: a Solar Panel adds to the wealth in the form of electricity therefore the Solar Panel is paying the TAX. The human being is not paying the TAX. The Solar Panel is doing the work. The Sun supplies the POWER. The human being merely has to buy the Solar Panel.
Are you confused?
How about this:
If someone does borrow from the new WAR ON TERRORISM AGAINST THE OIL COMPANIES scheme (the example Tyrant running for office) with the requirement to pay back all the money borrowed (without any interest) and that person buys Solar Panels with that money, then, that person merely stores his Solar Panels instead of spending the money (wealth) to install the Solar Panels.
Do you see this?
Person A in the new SCHEME (War on oil company terrorism) can borrow any money he wants from the new Government currency accounting OFFICE (the government can hire Pay-Pal to do the accounting and place oversight with congress – eliminate the department of treasury).
Person A wants to eliminate his tax burden so he buys Solar Panels.
Person A does not hook up the Solar Panels because he is lazy, stupid, or what?
Person A has the power to eliminate his electric bill and he elects to store the Solar Panels instead. He can even sell the Solar Panels to someone who will hook the Solar Panels up to the grid and start adding to the Nations wealth.
Person A stores the Solar Panels and then, think now, how does this Person A manage to pay back his loan from the U.S. Congress?
Person A has an electric bill to pay.
Person A doesn’t have an electric car.
Person A buys an electric car to further reduce his tax bill (or eliminate it).
Person A stores his electric car instead of using his electric car.
Person A keeps paying his electric bill and person A continues to use his gasoline powered car and person A continues to pay 100 units of currency each week to buy gasoline to run his car.
How does Person A manage to pay his loan back?
The Solar Panels sit. The electric car sits.
The Solar Panels are not currently making electric current. The electric car is not currently using the FREE POWER supplied by the SUN.
Person A must find another way to CREATE WEALTH to pay back his loan.
NO PROBLEM!
Perhaps person A is a rock star.
Perhaps person A is a member of congress.
Perhaps person A can afford to NOT INVEST IN SOLAR ENERGY.
What about the rest of mankind?
Are we as fortunate?
