I completely agree with 1 and 2, 3 is not going to work.
Let salaries be set by free market forces -price controls just cause a skew and end up creating waste, inequality and inefficiency.
I feel a complete overhaul of taxation at a foundational level would resolve the wealth inequality. Instead of taxing production - tax net assets, and tax non value adding transactions.
Using a sliding scale, and a different range for individuals and business - a tax on assets would ensure capital was invested into productive pursuits - because they are tax free. Those who remained rich would do sop because they were either very productive, or invested in the most productive investments - either way, money shuffling, and accumulating massive amounts of real estate etc would not be possible.
Businesses would break into small competitive components - monopolistic, overly powerful corporations would be crushed by their own size - unable to remain profitable due to their tax burden.
4 I agree with - but if you effectively redistribute wealth, this would happen naturally.
5, I totally agree - but my language would tend to be a bit stronger. Borders should be there to PROTECT the citizens of a country - not a chalk outline to delineate the distribution of their corpses
6, again downgrade is not strong enough for me - these are predatory lenders of the most vicious kind - working for the interests of the globalist corporations. They should be destroyed - I feel they should pay for the damage they have caused to countless poor people around the world.
7, agreed. Again, I would go further and change to a gold based standard. I would in fact use physical gold. We have technology to imbed gold leaf into flexible notes - this would be folding gold.
8, I agree with reduction in intellectual property rights - especially duration. Resources like air and so on are not to be sold or traded. They are common property - however those who deplete or damage them should be subject to penalty.
9, stabilize the population - or course. China is leading the way - and shows it can be done within the right framework. It is necessary; whether through education, financial incentives or law - it can be done.
10, In my opinion the western governments need to be completely restructured - with a totally new voting and representation system. I know you are considering only the accounts, and it makes sense to determine whether we are going forward or backwards - but while the corrupt are at the helm then right is wrong, up is down and no system would be effective because there is no transparency.
Enjoyed your article - I hope to read more.
