The serious need for modernization of our voting systems led me to develop this hypothetical model to explore the potential for beneficial application of a more "rational" system. NEO-DEMOCRACY embodies all the principles and beliefs upon which our nation was founded. It extends, refines and combines them as our "Basic Philosophy." NEO-CAPITALISM (a new Economic Concept) allocates earnings in proportion to value added by human time and effort, pays the earnings to the earner, and returns to the earner those values which may be inadvertently extracted beyond the reasonable "profit" from business investment and operation. It provides for equal opportunity to make use of capital without it coming into the ownership of those who have not earned the value. --And it returns to Society the value accumulated by each generation so it may be passed equitably to succeeding generations. It maintains incentive and equal opportunity by adherence to the principles of our "Basic Philosophy." In the process of combining these ideas a new "Value Concept" and positive economic, ergonomic and environmental effects emerge. Neo-Democracy/Neo-Capitalism is a politico-socio-economic paradigm that, if emulated elsewhere, could coalesce as a Whole-world system free of the imperialism inherent in The System's "New World Order." |
The Neo-Democratic Axiom:
........Somewhat like a cat whose tail is caught that keeps pulling and howling in pain, we keep trying to find a new direction to pull which will produce less pain. ........people, human beings, "own." Non-human entities are incapable of "owning." ........the economic system hypothesized here would expand in proportion to the needs and desires of the populace, but could "ungrow" without harmful effects --while still retaining the desirable characteristics of Capitalism. ........we can plan on an eventual cut-back of the average work week to twenty-four hours or less.... The same or higher income and standard of living would result. The effort per man-hour need not increase. ........the Human Value Interface (HVI) could become the reference point to which all other values come to be judged. .........the only value now backing our currency is our "faith" in our government. However, we possess a large store of value that could be utilized as the value guarantee... ...without removing that value from its intended function. This value is in tangible form, and is clearly ours to claim. .......but perhaps we'll all find our roles more productive and satisfying if we aren't spending all our time working just to obtain the money for mortgage payments! ........To educate is to induce development of the ability to question, examine, comprehend and correlate; to cultivate, groom, and hone curiosity; --and to avoid subliminal or semantic perversions of the process. ..........an economic system that would eliminate inflation might also rescue our Social Security programs from the insolvent fate now predicted. ........."junk" foods would become less profitable to market, average nutritional content of foodstuffs consumed would be upgraded, and our general health would be improved. We would save on medical expenses, packaging and trash disposal costs, and waste fewer natural resources. .........Such considerations should cause a rational Society to limit the usage of natural resources to reasonable percentages of known world supplies. .........(Such) a rational Society, operating a rational economic system, could avail reasonable profit to individuals and rational motivation for technological progress while still requiring rational usage of natural resources; --i.e., without raping and killing Mother Nature. |

FutureAMERICA? book and Ebook proposes that we disavow and abandon our hypocrisy. Neo-Democracy urges us to reaffirm our values and re-establish the Constitution and suggests a modernized election system. This then makes possible Neo-Capitalism, which is a new economic concept that would permit closer conformity to Constitutional principles. In laymen's terminology the book then introduces and illustrates many innovative constructive changes which could ensue, and the positive effects these might have upon privacy, voting, politics, government bureaucracy, the stock market, business practices, wage rates, work week length, education, unions, banking, marketing, financial stability, home ownership, military service, health care, retirement income, social welfare, agriculture, our food supply, medicine and our medical system, the justice system, gun control, drugs, use and preservation of natural resources, and even upon organized religion. FutureAMERICA? is not a "utopian" prediction, nor are Neo-Democracy or Neo-Capitalism proposed as a basis for evolvement of a political party (although that may not be unimaginable). Rather, the intention has been to illustrate practical applications of contemporary technological capabilities in conjunction with a new system of values based upon the beliefs and principles embodied in our Constitution, then to explore the benefits we might gain from its application. It is an exploration of "If we made certain changes, what might then become possible?" FutureAMERICA? examines some of the prospects. This advocatefreedom.com website addresses current events, issues and developments pertinent to One World Government, "free trade" (NAFTA & GATT), the United Nations, "911," the "war on terror," the Constitution and the legal system, medicine, education, science, immigration, etc. Its purpose is to present current issues and problems which adoption of the concepts proposed in FutureAMERICA? would minimize or resolve. © Guy H., 12/2002 |
