The Road to Social Success, Peace and Justice: California has the Vision

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]
