The Question:
If you could have your way in the creation of a new country what are the three main ingredients you would write into a new Constitution, structure or law that is lacking in the nations of the world today?
We received some interesting comments on this assignment. We could probably spend six months talking about them if we wished, but the group has provided much food for thought.
Here are my three.
If we ran the whole country as a molecular business then there would be no taxes, but everything necessary for the common good would be financed from company profits.
If it were set up on the standard basis then we should be able to run the government on a tithe or 10%. I think this should be done with a 10% sales tax as the only tax.
A molecular system of government would be se up where all who are interested participate in legislation. Those who are not interested would not be forced or even encouraged to participate. A person has to be at least mildly interested in legislation before he can know what's going on and participate wisely.
With a little training, laymen could do many expensive services done by professionals.
Treating people for minor illnesses, many disputes that now require lawyers, some psychological help, counseling and many other services could be done for free by regular people who are willing to donate some of their spare time.
Such a volunteer system could result in enormous savings to the people.
Question: Suppose we were to create a new country with a new government and society.
What do you suppose would be the three main problems we would encounter and how would we solve them?
Why does the Air Force need expensive new bombers? Have the people we've been bombing over the years been complaining? George Wallace
