Governments can Solve
Society’s Problems.
Modern government depends upon its citizens to
provide services and taxes in exchange for its
governance. California has conducted the proper experiments in this
social arena and San Francisco is now the model for a new and just
society. The government is obviously obligated to supply all the needs of its
citizenry in one form or another and to educate the polis as to the correct or
preferred conduct for all. Unfairness and bigotry are crimes against humanity
and must be punished by strict laws and confiscatory taxes. Any form of conduct
must be accepted as an individual choice, hence the fundamental right, of every
citizen, but, certain actions enhances the quality of our government by
creating the need for special services and providing jobs. Any form of
conduct that refutes the bigoted Biblical ‘morality’ must be accepted as a
socially preferred individual choice except those actions the government
arbitrarily deems as unhealthy of unsafe.
California has made more progress in the
social arena than most other places in the world. The government can minimize all
problems in our society if the wealth is properly distributed. Taxation is the
road to peace, justice and harmony in our society. Education will show us the
way to peace and prosperity and many in our society must be educated about
taxation and the evils of capitalism and excessive wealth. San Francisco has
the best plan to achieve this.
The Needs of the Citizen
Comes First.
Every citizen has certain strengths and
weaknesses as defined by accepted norms of conduct and inherited skills. It
turns out that certain views of social actions, particularly the choices not to
appease the capitalists and have their labor exploited, are socially and
intellectually correct and need to be emphasized in government and education.
Those who have a different view of love and society and those who think that
the personal choice of using drugs, sex and the just retrieval of
misappropriated property or abortion are not crimes are now in the majority of
our society. They will vote to change our society. We will change
the world. While the most important duty of government is education--not law
enforcement as one would presume--the resources devoted to the freely-chosen
actions of a few provide essential jobs for many citizens who want to serve
their government. San Francisco has attained an high score on the
health and social services scale with an impressive list. [1] We
need more and easier jobs and fewer restrictions on our life styles. We can
have a society with full employment and benefits for all if we force
capitalists to surrender most of their ill-gotten wealth.
These essential services are provided by the
tax base by taxing those who have exploited our citizens and environment.
Workers and tourists and businesses pay appropriate taxes so that the city can
provide them to the poor. They could pay much more. The minimum wage
in San Francisco is now only $9.36/hour, [2] which
is essential to provide the necessary tax base for the government to properly
function. This is not, however, a livable wage so it must be much higher,
probably $30 or $40 an hour. The tax rate on payroll expense is 1.5%.[3] The
city sales tax is 8.50%.[4] A
high minimum wage and subsequent high progressive taxes now fund the city
services with some money from federal funds. Higher taxes are needed. We need
very high marginal income tax rates to recover the money and land that the
capitalists have stolen from the people. For the rich, we need a 90% tax rate
and 100% for all profits over 1 million dollars per year. Profits are achieved
only by trampling the poor and unfortunate and that is the evil of capitalism.
We need a wealth tax to force those who hoard their money to share it
with the less fortunate.
Personal Freedoms,
Drugs and their Use.
Citizens must be free and unencumbered by
fascist laws to choose their lifestyles and recreational modes of life.
Drugs are a personal choice and loads of fun and the government should not
interfere in such personal matters. San Francisco has a Drug Court
(SFDC)[5] and
the court monitors the progress of the treatment of those persons who elect to
enjoy themselves with recreational substances. This is not a crime. Many are
arrested for merely choosing a lifestyle that satisfies them and that act of
incarcerating the innocent is inhumane. San Francisco has
a Drug Court has an impressive record as stated:
“Since 1996, over 900 participants have
graduated from the San Francisco Drug Court. Among them, ninety-three
percent of the graduates had a stable source of income upon program completion,
91% had obtained stable housing, and several participants enrolled in school or
vocational training while participating in the program. Twenty-percent of the
graduates had reestablished contact with their minor children upon graduation.”
This is a unparalleled success and provides
hundreds of jobs for court and city employees. Most of our jobs should be
oriented so as to assist our citizens with their personal choices and
lifestyles. We need more such services and those agencies and task forces
provide many new jobs. Taking drugs is a basic right and the medical
treatment of unfortunate side effects is the responsibility of a caring
government.
While considered illegal by some unprogressive
cities and counties and the federal government, the drug sharing and fellowship
and camaraderie and the concomitant personal choice to enjoy substances
actually benefit society. The ‘addict,’ a pejorative label that ostracizes
individual freedom, needs special education, counseling, and the protection
from law enforcement, medical services and many other special services. All
these services are paid for by the government and enhance and broaden the
responsibilities of the cities to provide to the citizens what they need.
Societies need to be happy and recreational drugs bring happiness. Those who
disapprove of drug use need sensitivity training and higher taxes.
We need to legalize all drugs and provide
counseling for their use among those who suffer from the ills of capitalism and
racism and abuse from the white majority. The cost of drugs should be
very low and subsidized by the government. Drug screening should be abolished
and drug testing should only be used to ensure that drugs of choice are pure
and not contaminated.
Immigration
There are no human boundaries or fences in
this world. The world is not a system of walls and jails. All persons own
everything in concert and harmony with the flora and animals on this globe and
no group should prevent the poor from enjoying a decent life in
the US or elsewhere. We have made the world poor with
capitalism. To protect the poor and support their human rights, no San
Francisco city tax revenues or any other kind of money may be spent in
assisting authorities in enforcing immigration laws.[6] Those
laws are forms of racism, bigotry, greed and a crime against humanity. The
influx of new citizens means that new jobs can be created to keep and protect
persons who come from other countries who would normally be considered to be
felons and perhaps deported. San Francisco has found the way to an
enlightened society through proper government.
We have enormous wealth and we must use it to
create a new society for those less fortunate and redress the sins of the past.
Crimes committed by undocumented workers and other persons are not really
crimes, but they do provide a large number of government jobs and enhances the
tax base through city taxes. Those who take the money and property from
the upper classes are not committing crimes; they are simply retrieving their
fair share of prosperity that was denied them by the rich. Persons have a
right to acquire resources denied them by evil and oppressive government. This
is only a just form of reparations and its remedy is way overdue.
“Prostitution”
Love is not a crime and those people who
choose to enjoy sex at any age or with any person or their pets are not
criminals. Tax cuts are crimes. The city of San Francisco has a just social
plan to “Stop the Enforcement of the Prostitution Laws and Bring Protection to Sex
Workers”[7] The
city has a Task Force on Prostitution that considers such practices by citizens
and others as a basic human right and the apprehension, persecution and
incarceration of those persons who are merely plying their craft as costly,
unjust and ineffective. [8] The
sex workers suffer more abuse from the police than from their clients.[9] Sex
is love and police actions are war.
Sex workers need the protection of unions and
their government for a just society. Sex workers need a minimum
guaranteed minimum wage that allows for a decent life style.
“Murder”
The use of force is always unfortunate, but
many times this is only a form of protest and economic self defense and a way
to express concern against those persons who conspire to suppress the citizens
and force them into poverty and despair. Violence is caused by capitalism and
the suppression of human rights as the citizens seek to share drugs and other
activities among themselves. The murder rate is unfortunately rising,[10]but
this only calls for more jobs and social services for the victims, police,
health services, counseling and education. Drugs need to be legalized and destigmatized.
Guns need to be banned especially among the fascist police forces that
persecute the masses by enforcing their unfair laws. We must provide our
citizens with all they need so as to prevent violence. Many existing laws must
be repealed and the police forces need to be retrained and their focus
redirected toward the real criminals of our society: business and capitalists.
The FBI, DEA, IRS and other agencies need to be banned in California.
AIDS
Love is not a crime. Free love should be free
and encumbered by laws and agents of the government. HIV infection and the
diseases associated with this personal and private pursuit of individual social
preferences are unfortunate, but remain one of the main attractions in San
Francisco and have created hundreds and thousands of jobs. The CIA created
AIDS in the hope that this disease would exterminate the undesirables in
society and they succeeded in part in their evil. The people need more drugs
and medical services so that they can enjoy a better and longer life and avoid
this disease forced upon them by capitalists and evil right-wing government.
People need a way to express their love and affection without oppressive
government interfering with their lives. There are no abnormal sex
acts—only love. There are numerous social and legal aid societies who support
those who want to exploit and enjoy their particular sexual preferences.[11] The
gay and lesbian society is a major source of taxes and tourism for the city.
City commerce is enhanced and tourism excels as drug treatment and other
services create more and more taxes and create new and unique services. Out
of concern, there are numerous services for assisted dying and other options in
the city. [12]The
age of consent for love should not be dictated by law. Love is ageless and
children need love not war.
Education of the Masses.
The capitalists and wealthy persons all need
to be firmly educated as to their intrinsic social evils by a new form of
education. They must take extensive retraining courses and then pass strict
oral and written exams on how ordinary citizens must be appreciated and how
their business society has caused misery and suffering around the world. The
citizens have a fundamental right to get as much education, or as little if
that is their choice, as they desire. The government must provide educational
facilities to all that request them at no cost to the student unless they are
wealthy. Educational facilities that teach business and capitalism must
be abolished. The capitalists need to be educated as to the following:
[1] If you have money and wealth and property
above the median that is proof that you attained these gains unfairly and the
government needs to confiscate these holdings and return the excess proceeds to
the people. The wealthy must redress the sins of the past. Inheritances must be
abolished and all property and wealth must be returned to the government after
death. All money and property ultimately belong to the state.
[2] Capitalism is evil as it exploits the
masses and creates poverty and disease. The government needs to control
commerce, jobs and taxes so that the remnants of capitalism can finally no
longer poison our society. The government can provide food and shelter better
than business. Major corporations and especially oil companies must be
nationalized by the government and restructured for the benefit of society.
[3] Education is the key to a great society
and those who refuse to accept the decisions of egalitarian government must be
reeducated until they agree with the proper and correct goals of government.
Education must be free and open to all persons at all ages and for any length
of time. Colleges should be enlightened societies and free from rules and
academic demands. Examinations, particularly standardized tests, are
discriminatory and must not be allowed to poison inquiry and self expression.
There is no reason to issue grades. Capitalists use grades to discriminate
against the poor and persons of color.
[4] The rights of the people must not be
abridged and personal choices about recreational drug use, sex, and freedom
from oppressions like forced work rules or tedious occupations must be fully
expressed. Jobs must not be based on cognitive skills. Certain
professions must be forced to select students based on quotas or skin color and
not by any academic metrics. Only the arrogant think that the average citizen
or the cognitively impaired could not become great brain surgeons or engineers.
[5] Health care and rehabilitation for disease
must be free and available to all. Capitalism has poisoned our foods and air
and created numerous disorders and they should pay for health care with
punitive taxes.
[6] Persons of color who have been suppressed
and marginalized for the last 500 years in the Western
Hemisphere must be given 2 or 3 votes each compared to white males so that
they can correct and remediate unfair and biased aspects of society. All
women should have 2 votes and women of color 3 or 4 votes each. This will
restore peace and justice to our society and form an inclusive and modern
society.
[7] Crimes are not crimes if poor people are
forced to commit them for survival. Many must steal money for food for their
families as they cannot get jobs in business. This is really not thievery; it
is social justice. The political prisoners and victims of corporate crimes must
be pardoned and released from incarceration and returned to society where they
can live their own lives in their own way without interference from the police
or oppressive agencies. Persons who are so-called felons should be free of
taxes of any form and local fees forever.
[8] Private property is a privilege reserved
only for those enlightened persons who dedicate their lives to improving
government and its proper relation to the people. Property unfairly gotten
thought the evils of capitalism or business must be returned to the people.
Corporations are an affront to a just society and all common stocks and bonds
should be reserved for the people. Excessive retirement accounts and IRAs,
particularly of the fascist Roth type, must be assigned to the people for
proper redistribution.
[9] Capitalism and business have ruined our
planet and soon the oceans will die and we will be forced into poverty and
cannibalism because of their greed. The air is already loaded with toxic carbon
dioxide; the poison of capitalism. The excessive use of energy is responsible
for this outrage. Energy production must be severely taxed so that profits cannot
be made from this precious resource. Corporations must be abolished and
government controls implemented in necessary cases.
[10] The government is the preferred employer
and any person who wants a job should have one that fits their personal
preferences with a livable wage and free medical care and retirement benefits.
Persons should be given jobs that they like to do and not be responsible
for accounting, profits or goals as the capitalists and business tyrants wish.
The work week should be no longer than 20 hours with several months of
vacation and 40 days of holidays per year. Taxes from permitted and limited
forms of capitalism must be used to create new jobs and restructure our
society. Capitalism must finally be eliminated so that peace and justice and
prosperity can be attained for all.
[11] The military must be abolished in all
forms. We want peace not war.
Conclusion:
California has shown us the way to
prosperity and a system of peace and justice. Our slogans to change our society
must include words or phrases like: Starry Psychotic Liabilities [13] or
Boyishly Capitalistic Striker.[14]
