"Some people have such a dependancy on the system created to enslave them that they will die to save it. They cannot imagine life without it."
If you were to choose to "pay" a person to be a pain in your butt or "pay" them just for being, which would you choose, let alone most of humanity?
I.E.
If all monies were to be actually created by a fair Central Bank and no more Fractional reserve lending type stuff, then it would be easy to calculate how much of that "real" money was going to taxes.
No more offshore avoidance.
No more loopholes.
No more filing.
No more BS.
But also
No more IRS workers.
No more tax preparers.
No more tax lawyers.
Would you pay them to just live thier lives?
Would you feel "Why should they get paid for nothing when I have to work?"
How would they handle it?
Suddenly thier lives are made empty, devoid of necessity, no longer "needed" by society.
Would "Idle hands be the devils tools"?
Or would humanity be more likely to find that they can now spend more time on things that really matter?
Case in point:
http://www.uswaternews.com/archives/arcconserv/6philplum4.html
In a city where organized labor is a force to be reckoned with, the plumbers union has been raising a stink about a developer's plans to install 116 waterless, no-flush urinals in what will be Philadelphia's biggest skyscraper.
Developer Liberty Property Trust says the urinals would save 1.6 million gallons of water a year at the 57-story Comcast Center, expected to open next year.
But the union put out the word it doesn't like the idea of waterless urinals -- fewer pipes mean less work.
1. Could they be still paid as if they had done the same work?
2. Would you still pay them for the same work as before these waterless urinals?
3. What about the people who delivered the pipes?
The people who made the pipes?
The people who processed the ore into the metal that made the pipes?
The people that delivered the ore from the mine.
The people that worked at the mine?
The people that worked for the company that were paid to "discover" the metal.
The people who started the company.
How about the workers on the water end of it?
All those jobs lost just by one small technological advance.
What to do with them?
Any ideas?
