Government Revenue, Welfare, Social Security and Unemployment in Utopia

Utopia does not have debt or interest on their debt to pay. In fact, the Utopian government makes money from their assets. The Utopian government not only does not collect taxes, but also pays an income to every citizen. Because every citizen gets an income from government, welfare, social security and unemployment are not needed. Read on, this is not beyond the realm of possibility.

Everyone is required to have health insurance. If they don’t, government deducts enough from their income to cover health insurance and pays the insurance provider. People that make more than one sigma above the average income do not get an income from government. People that earn three sigma over the average income are required to buy government bonds that are used to finance small business loans, schools, roads and other projects. These bonds can be sold in an emergency or for retirement.

If the wealthy were required to keep one third of their wealth in government securities all is mathematically feasible. Did I say that no taxes are necessary?

It’s simply functional and sensible! But that’s Utopia. Did you notice that Utopia does not have taxes? They do have access to money from bonds and they use this money to pay for schools, roads, a telephone system and power plants. Their assets generate income, thus no taxes are required.

A CLINICAL ANALYSIS OF ANTI-GOVERNMENT PHOBIA

The absurdity of the following clinical analysis is self evident.  When people see something wrong, they create theories to explain what they have observed.  While all of the theories may not be correct, the validity of the facts that those theories try to explain is not disputed.  All conspiracy theory is based on some fact.  Read the following clinical analysis to understand the nature of today’s nationalists.  – Administrator

A CLINICAL ANALYSIS OF ANTI-GOVERNMENT PHOBIA

Ivor E. Tower, M.D.
Journal of Clinical Psychiatry
Volume 11, series 3, pages 4-5

Abstract

This study conclusively demonstrates that unfounded fear of government is a recognizable mental illness, closely related to paranoid schizophrenia. Anti-Government Phobia (AGP) differs from most mental illnesses, however, in that it is highly infectious and has an acute onset. Symptoms include extreme suspiciousness, conspiracy-mongering, delusional thought patterns, staunch “us against them” mentality, withdrawal from reality, and often religious fanaticism. Having the patient committed to a qualified mental health institution is the best option for family and loved ones. For this reason, all psychiatrists and family physicians should be provided with educational materials which will help them recognize the various symptoms and warning signs accompanying onset. Since comparatively little is known about Anti-Government Phobia at the present time, a government-funded health commission should be set up to oversee, and help focus, future research.

Incidence and Etiology

Anti-Government Phobia has a worldwide distribution, but has a particularly high incidence in the United States. Infection rates are estimated by mental health officials to be about 5% of the general population, and this rate is growing at an alarming rate. Rates are highest, but not limited to, those who are disaffected in some fashion, especially those who have a strong personal grudge against the federal government for one reason or another.

That there are 2 million people in the jails of America – half of them black – is proof of dystopian justice. That there are seven times as many people – per capita – in American jails as in European jails is proof of dystopian justice. That there are seven times as many people – per capita – in American jails as in American jails of 1970 is proof of dystopian justice. That there is punishment at all is proof of dystopian justice.

Utopian justice is defined as restitution, the resolution of confusions, and the proportionate prophylaxis of people that repeatedly cause others loss, harm or injury. 

Dystopian justice is plausibly defined as adherence to the law of the oligarchy and associated vested interests with protracted and expensive legal proceedings followed by the painful punishment of incarceration as the warped teaching tool of a state with no recourse to intelligent or civilized methods of achieving forced compliance with good and bad laws.

More and more I feel that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than have the people of good will. We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of men willing to be co-workers with God, and without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation. We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right. Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy and transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity.

Dystopian Government

Extracted from http://www.lewrockwell.com/rockwell/reps-doomed.html

Imagine that you are blindfolded and told that the food you are about to eat is ice cream. It turns out to be chicken liver. Or imagine that you think you are diving into warm water but instead it turns out to be near-freezing.This is pretty much what it is like to be governed by Republicans, and there is no better case in point than George W. Bush. He, like all Republicans since the 1920s, campaigned as a shrink-the-government man. More incredibly to recall, he blasted the “nation-building” of Bill Clinton and insisted that the US needed a “humble” foreign policy.What we got instead is, well, what we got, is the polar opposite. The man who wailed over Bill Clinton’s big government has made Clinton’s spending record look great by comparison. The guy who decried “nation-building” has decided that bombs and tanks are a great means to inspire a wholesale upheaval in the Gulf region. What’s interesting here is what motivates big-government Republicanism. The party itself has no strong investment in the public sector as it currently stands, apart from the prison bureaucracy and the military. Most civil servants and teachers and postal workers support the Democrats, knowing full well who is buttering their bread. Republicans, essentially, see the public purse as something not to conserve but to rob and give to those who do vote Republican.

Fantasy Island — A Utopia

One possible real Utopia would be very similar to Fantasy Island.  People would come to this Utopia to live out, perhaps several years, a fantasy somewhat more feasible than some on the hit show.

Fantasy IslandPrior to the long-running original series, Fantasy Island was introduced to viewers in 1977 through two highly-rated made-for-television films in which Mr. Roarke and Tattoo played relatively minor roles. Airing from 1978 to 1984, the original series starred Ricardo Montalban as Mr. Roarke, the enigmatic overseer of a mysterious island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean (presumably near Hawaii) where people from all walks of life could come and live out their fantasies — for a price.

Letter from Reader

I am, if you cannot tell by the e-mail address, Randy H. I must inform you that I have read your statements and everything I could find on your website.

{Thank you}
 
 I believe it would be possible in a perfect world {we wouldn’t be writing about utopia were this a perfect world} to have this perfect utopia {utopia is a civilization without defects (one definition of perfection)} spring up and give everyone perfect lives {defect free lives is a less confusing concept to most}. I say this not to get you to stop reading this extensive e-mail, but to realize where I stand on the issue. For your statements on outsourcing employment, I am in the understanding the unemployment rate is in the lowest it has been in a long time {The unemployment rate is merely the percent of people collecting unemployment compensation.  Furthermore, many, if not most, people are not working at their ideal job.  Few are working at their ideal wage, but it is not necessary for a utopia make everybody billionaires or even millionaires.}.
       Moving on to the justice {I remind you that the disproportionate punishment of today is NOT justice}, I believe in your first statement. If I may remind you in my own words:

A person cannot harm another person in any way, shape, or conceivable or inconceivable form without also facing the justice system {It is also not justice when a person has to pay $18,000 to a lawyer to defend against a cop that fabricates false charges that threaten years in prison.}  I may also add that there should be an allowance for guilt to a person if they may feel it in a situation. Guilt {guilt and other emotional pains inflicted by a society without justice – as with the current world justice systems – is huge} is a very powerful form of pain but, unlike physical or monetary, this is placed upon someone by their own self. Now, moving on to the next justice fundamental principle.

Utopia

flower garden2

Utopia is like a beautiful flower garden.  The weeds have been pulled.  The beautiful is cultivated.  The parasites and predators have been eliminated.

Utopia doesn’t allow unmitigated competition or let the introduction of a new species ruin the garden. 

Utopia cultivates and nurtures the healthy evolution of society rather than allowing individuals to dominate at the expense of all.  Utopia is about healthy competition – not warlike competition.

flower garden

All Utopian Flowers have equal opportunity in the sun.  A tulip and a rose are admired for their differences. Varity is respected and desired.  Each flower is allowed to flourish, grow and be admired.

Imagine

——————————————————————————–

Imagine

Imagine there’s no heaven,
It’s easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today…

Imagine there’s no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace…

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world…

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you’ll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Dystopian Justice

Hello- I am a Police School Liaison Officer for a small high school in Wisconsin.  I recently had several students come to my office after they had read some of the stories on your site.  Their impressions were that police brutality is rampant and ingrained in the American justice system.

The first page of the Massachusetts Police Brutality site contains statistics from the DOJ (Department of Justice).  The letters in the site are from readers that felt compelled to write.

 While I agree that there are incidents of police brutality, I would say each has to be judged on its own merits.  The overwhelming concept your site presents is that all arrests contain some form of excessive brutality, which is quite simply not true. 


The first page of the Massachusetts Police Brutality site states that there are 14,004,327 Arrests each year in America and, by DOJ Survey, 430,000 Instances of Excessive Force By the Police.  14 million is a large number of arrests.  During a 80 year lifetime, there will be 80 times 14,000,000 arrests.  That is 1120 million arrests made during the average lifetime.  Since there are only 300 million Americans, it is likely that each American will be arrested several times.  If 3% of all arrests use excessive force (a DOJ statistic), then there will be 33 million instances of police brutality during the average American lifetime.

 I have been in this career for many years and have had contact, both positive and negative, with thousands of people.  Many of these people have remarked how considerate and polite they have been treated, even when they were being taken to jail!

You must remember that the awesome power of the police and courts make people supplicate, grovel, and propitiate.  One false move could send a person to jail or, at least, cost his family months of time, intense aggravation and tens of thousands of dollars.  Isn’t it more humane to tell the children the dangers and stop the big brother act?
