Every time any freedom in the USA is taken away from the citizens by the
Government, the terrorist claim a victory in that battle*. In order to win
an
age old war the USA must as a country look back at the history of money as a
medium of exchange for goods and services. Where the US
government creates laws to maintain order, and uses a capital market system
structure for the medium of exchange with money. The way to win
the war is through more freedoms, not less. This is an outline on how to do
this.
Even the Romans used coin issued by the government as a medium of exchange.
To this day, that medium of exchange has been a good system.
The use of money as a medium of exchange since the beginning has had a major
flaw. Not in the use of money, but in the government structure
to maintain the capital markets, and having all the citizens in the country
to use the system. This flaw has been evident throughout time going back
to the Roman Empire. First, the government should in fact keep law, and
order. Coin and print money. Protect the citizens with national defense,
and secure the borders, and other purposes. The flaw goes all the back in
history where the government controls the citizens through the use of
money. In the USA it is the capital market system. The flaw is the ability
of the government to over control the citizens using the capital market
system in a way that disrupts the flow of entrepreneurship, or ideas for
products and services to sell in the market system. The flaw has always
been when the government control on the markets go too far. Reasonable
standards, and safety for all goods and services is fine, but every time
the government makes laws that go too far, it increases the cost of the
goods and services for the citizens who buy or use the service.
*A government for the people by the people... If the people elect people who
vote to take away any freedom, then the terrorist win that battle. The
war is in fact a clash with the US capital market system structure with
other nations in the world.
In the USA there are 4 levels of government.
CONTROL FLOW
1- Federal Government
2- State Government
3- County Government
4- city/local Government
What is happing today is the flaw is starting to show up now after 200+
years without fixing it. The USA created a very unique capital market
concept based on money as a medium of exchange. And throughout the history
of the USA it has proven to be very successful. The problem is,
the government has tried everything except the correct fix to the fatal
flaw. Using currency as a medium of exchange is a novel concept, and entire
markets have formed around the concept. The flaw in the USA today is the
control flow, where the freedoms are given up to the Federal
Government, or a higher level of Government. The control is too much at the
Federal levels of government for the states, and local governments
to maintain, and pay for the laws made by the federal government. this
flawed approach is apparent in the US today. The control flow problem
happens when a jurisdiction clashes with another higher level of government.
Imposing unneeded laws, and causing a burden for the lower
jurisdictions. This fatal flaw does not just stop at the capital market
control itself. It is the use of money within the capital market by the
citizens
within that country using the system as a means of exchange for goods and
services. The flaw is only some citizens within the system will be
able to capitalize on the market with an idea, or small business venture.
Only a few will in fact over time control segments of the capital market.
The US government has tried to address this by not allowing some monopolies
in the system to a certain degree.
Flaws that have passed through time since the Romans, and now USA today.
1- Too much Capital Market Control.
2- Limited ability for citizens to capitalize in the market.
How to fix the flaw, and end the war of all ages.
This flaw is about the citizens of the country using the capital market
system, and money as a means of exchange. The capital market system can
and does work. The USA has come a long way using it, and better than other
governments with even more control. This flaw should have been
fixed way back in the Roman times. when they used money as a medium of
exchange. In order to fix the fatal flaw the government must invest in
the citizens living the country. In order to fix the problems today and end
the age old war, the government must invest in the citizens of the
country. The Romans could have done it, but did not. Other country
governments could have done it, but have not to date. The USA has not done
it, and this is what is causing all the wars, and money problems in the
capital markets today. Governments tax the citizens, they don't invest in
them. Taxing from one group, and giving to another will never work in the
long run. Look at how that worked out for the Romans. The USA still
can fix the flaw. It is NOT too late to fix the problem. Now, the USA
through the history of the country has tried everything but the way to fix
it. They
have created a number of programs to attempt to fix the problem, but they
have not to date invested in the citizens to fix the problem over time.
They have set up social security, medical programs, like Medicare, and a
wide range of programs that attempt to fix the fatal problem. It is time to
fix the problem. All these and 100's of other programs all tiring to fix the
problem with the capital market system has been tried, and none of these
programs will work in the long run. The tax collected to run all these
programs take the ability for citizens to start a business, or capitalize in
the
market. This is a slow but sure way to the end of the free enterprise
system, and the capital market system in the USA.
Only a strictly structured investment in the citizens within any country
using the capital market system will fix the fatal flaw as it is today, and
has
been way back the Romans. Over time the citizens freedoms grow, not shrink.
Only the investment in the citizens can the government free the
individual citizen living in that country from the economic business cycle
within the capital market. Economic freedom would be a glorious
triumph for the USA who has come a long way using the capital market
structure idea. With economic freedom within the country over time using
the capital market system, the citizens will feel free, and proud of the
country government. Free from any economic dictatorships, economic
warfare, and clash between other countries using the same economic model.
Over the years governments have clashed with each other using
the capital market model. Today the clash is with what we call terrorists.
The countries who are forced to use anything will always be slaves to the
country doing the forcing. Economic slaves. The way to provide freedom in
the USA or any other country in the world is with citizen investment
from the government. The government controls the money that is used in the
capital market by the citizens. the government collects taxes, and
fees, and fines, and anything else they can think of to get the money to pay
for all the flawed programs. The government can NOT be in business
for its self. Today, not the US government, or any other government in the
world has made a structure to invest in the citizens living in the country.
Think about that for a minute. Look back in history and see what would
happen if basic living expenses, and cost of living in the country, relative
to the standard of living of each citizen in that country would be if the
government made an investment in the citizen of that country. The Roman
Empire would probably still be here today. Look back in history, and see
what the result would have been in the USA government invested even
1.00 in each citizen of the nation 200 years ago. Think of what it will be
like 200 years from now, if finally the government solved the flaw, and
invested just 1,000.00 in today's dollars for each citizen of the country.
If the investment was made today, even citizens living today would see
rewards from it in a short amount of time.
Each individual whether able to work or not in the capital market system
would benefit. It would not matter is a person makes 10,000 a year, or 10
million a year. Every US citizen would have an investment made by the
government. The government investing in the individual citizen living in
the country. The investment would be passed on to heirs establishing a
system where every generation is better than the next. The 1.00 investment
should have been done 200+ years ago in this country, and even .01
investment way back in the roman Empire. Today, the USA can start with
1,000.00 investment. The individual standard of living will go up with
minimal inflation if the government would solve the flaw, by making an
investment in each citizen of the nation. Free from too much control from
any level of government. At the same tome setting up the laws, and
structures for the free enterprise system to work in a capital market
system.
The investment of 1,000.00 dollars today would stem the doom tomorrow
because of the fatal flaw in the system today, and apparent throughout
the time of using money issued by a government. The money in the investment
fund is controlled by the US Federal Government. (Made of the
people for the people) The flaw will in fact fracture. and collapse any
government over time without the investment fix. The investment fund
structure would be clear as far as rules, and structure for the fund itself.
NOT a stalk market fund. The stalk market is a function within the capital
market structure. This investment fund has nothing to do with investing in
the stalk market. Over the years the US Government has attempted to
fix the flaw, by setting up some departments, and agencies, but over time
will not work because the citizen investment was never made. with no
investment, the only way to pay for the programs aimed at fixing the
problems associated with the market system is through tax collection. this
system is used today, in the USA, and it doomed the Romans in history. Some
good structures have stayed off the flaw by setting up 3 branches,
for checks and balances. unfortunately this is not going to be enough as
time goes on.
The investment would be made by the executive branch of the government for
each US citizen in the country. with oversight made by the
Congress, and judicial branch of the US Government. The interest earned
would be controlled by Congress, but used by the individual Citizens.
Any use of interest earned within the Citizens investment account will be
controlled by Congress. Congress shall be in charge of laws relating to
the use of the interest earned in the investment fund. Any use of interest
earned within the Citizens investment account will be used by the
individual citizen holding the account. So, the Congress in providing
oversight, and passing laws to protect the citizens accounts from the
issuing branch of the government (Executive Branch). the congress will not
be able to fund, or pass any laws to spend, leverage, or use any
account principal, ot interest earned other than what the citizen can use
the interest earned for. only to expand or contract the use of the interest
earned within the accounts. So, the account is set up by the executive
branch, and the interest earned is controlled by the Congress, but can only
be used by the account holder. That is the citizen. All the programs will be
gone in time, as obsolete, and all the money saved by solving the flaw,
instead of taxing or spending to try to fix it, will reduce the tax
collections needed to fund the government over time.
The Government for the people by the people... using the capital market
system structure, and free enterprise. When the government makes the
investment and sets it up correctly, it will benefit each citizen living in
the structure over time be free of day to day money burdens in the system
where everything costs money in order for it to work. Money for food,
clothing, shelter, and other living expenses relating to living within the
capital market structure for each citizen. The investment will also control
inflation, and the individual citizen would not feel the effects of dramatic
economic business cycles. a calm transition from one cycle to the next over
time. The war on terror, (the age old war) will be won. Because US
citizens would have more freedoms, not less. Freedoms from any economic
terror, or economic dictatorships of the future. Setting up the
investment in a way that elected people can not tamper with over time using
checks and balances to secure the safety of the capital market system
with individual investment accounts made by the government for each citizen
of the country. The age old war of using money as a medium of
exchange, and having government control the market. The citizens living in
that country being economic slaves through economic dictatorships.
this is the flaw going back to the Romans, and we are seeing it pop up here
in the USA now too.
By making the investment in the citizen, and setting up the proper structure
of control, the citizens living in the country would have no poverty, or
not able to eat, and rest. Everyone would Have a minimum standard of living.
this standard of living would go up over time. Each generation
living better then the last. We need to make the investment today, before
the flaw breaks apart the market, and all control goes to the government.
Details about the economic freedom investment accounts and safe guards:
The principal balance in the account can never be used, leveraged,
withdrawn, or touched by the government, or the citizen holding the account
in any way except for the Federal Investment Fund Manager. The manager of
the fund would be the Federal Reserve Bank. The administrator for
the fund would be the Treasury Department. The legal oversight would be done
by the Justice Department. The fund oversight would be done by
the Congress.
Congress can not use any principal balance for any reason. Congress would
control the use of interest used by the citizens. The Federal Reserve
Bank would be making the investments in the form of setting up proper market
structure for international trade, and working with other countries
using the capital market structure. The manager will not invest in any stalk
markets, or make any direct investment in any company, or individual.
The manager will provide short term loans to banks, Set up structures for
liquidity in the market, and support local banks to make loans for small
business. And make investment deals with other governments for
infrastructure projects, and trade agreement enforcement.
The congress will set up the use of interest earned. Citizens use the
interest earned based on the citizens life span living in the country.
A citizen from age 1- 18 will have their account compound interest build up
in their account. The only way to get the interest money earned out of
the account is through the citizens using the money. Congress sets up those
uses, and rules for use. At the age of 18 the citizen can choose to
use some interest earned for college, or continual education. Based on the
available interest earned on the account. any additional expenses are
paid for by the citizen. All the citizens will have some interest earned by
age 18 to help pay for college, or other continual education. Interest
earned
will over time also help off set health care insurance cost, and other basic
living expenses such as food, shelter, transportation, clothing, to
mention some basic living expenses. The congress will be in charge of
setting up use for interest earned, and limits. All accounts will have
modest
compounded interest built up over time to increase the amounts available.
As the citizen in the country from age 18-65 has the ability to choose to
participate in the capital market, either by working for a company, or
starting their own company, that citizen can increase the interest earned by
depositing into the account over time. The citizen would work to better
their standard of living above the basic economic freedoms of the account.
those who can not for what ever reason, still will have interest earned to
sustain a minimum standard of living in the system. In the USA the citizen
would have total freedom to explore, and grow as time goes on for the
country. In our case today 200+ years so far. Even an investment of 1.00 200
years ago would have made a dramatic difference in life today for the
average citizen. No tax dollars would be need to be collected for all the
programs needed for those less fortunate, which would cost the tax
payers less than they are paying today. Each year after age 18 the citizen
can use interest earned to pay taxes to support the functions of the
government, and infrastructure. The services needed for all 4 levels of
government. interest earned can off set some of these tax costs. With the
focus of the government towards core needs like national defense,
international relations, and other larger scale projects to return on the
investment for the citizens who hold the accounts. The way things are today
would be a thing of the past. Every year the citizen after age 18 can
deposit a minimum of 5,000.00 into the account. The limits can go up, as
Congress would control the amounts. A minimum would be 5,000.00. This
money would add to the principal balance of the account. The compounded
interest earned would then be on the total balance after the deposit.
Each year the available interest earned would go up over time. At the age 65
the citizen can draw interest earned for retirement. Each year the citizen
can make a 5,000 deposit to grow the retirement interest earned draw. The
fund is administrated by the Treasury Department, and the citizen has
contact with the Treasury Department each year in tax filing, and making any
deposits. Although the 5,000 is collected by the tax collector, that is
not a tax, it is a deposit to the account, and will transfer to the manager.
the fee for transfer may not exceed 100.00 per 5,000.00 deposited, and the
manager fee for the fund may not exceed 1% of return on investment made by
the manager. Not only does the citizen increase the interest earned
by adding to the principal amount of the account, the money is taken out of
circulation from the manager, as a inflationary check. the principal
can only be used by the manager with Congress oversight.
When the citizen passes away at any age, the account principal balance, and
compounded interest earned passes along tax free to the heirs.
Citizens will provide beneficiaries, and state in any last will and
testament who will get the account funds. If no will is made by the citizen
then the
account goes to probate. The last known relative will get the account
balance. At any time prior to age 18 the account balance goes to both
father,
and mother stated on the birth certificate. Citizens can not assign, loan
against, or withdraw funds from the account principal balance, nether can
the Congress. Citizens can only use the interest earned for living expenses
approved by Congress. The manager reports to the Congress for over
sight as far as what investments were made on the behalf of the account
holders.
The effect of investing in the citizen instead of taxing the citizen to pay
for operating all the levels of government will fix the flaw in the system
over time, and end the age old war, and win the war on terror. The age old
war of money as a medium of exchange, and government control over
the citizens through economic dictatorships, and economic slavery.
