Profit-Sharing Taxation and Level Rights
Fitting Democracy to the Problem-Source is like fitting a glove to
a hand.
The power to solve human problems should be appropriated to the level
of humanity where it originates. The levels begin with the individual
and proceeds through the family and community to the state, nation and earth.
Presently, world-wide, the concentration of problem-solving power is at the
national level. This power encourages corruption from dictatorships and party
politics.
As Lord Acton said, "“Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts
absolutely”(1887). Acton noted an inverse relationship between power
and morality. An example is an immoral action qualified by "And, it is legal."
Power concentration leads to fewer problems being solved. Throughout
history, this concentration is a ticking timebomb : Bastile Day, July 4,
October Revolution, May 1945, etc.
States rights have consistently been a dog whistle for a political power
grab. For a world with fewer problems, level rights requires the following:
-
Profit-sharing taxation: The most powerful committee
in the US House of Representative is the Appropriations Committee. It determines
where collected taxes are appropriated, that is, who gets the pork. It is
an age-old fact that who controls the money controls the
nation:“Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and
I care not who makes its laws.” (Mayer Amschel Rothschild, 1790)
This principle is self-evident in short-sighted people voting their weekly
paycheck instead of long-term morality, e.g., US 2024 election.
The real profit in any interaction is the time created/saved. It can be
monetarized into funny number on funny paper. True, real profit-sharing
occurs when the profits are split equally between the problem-sufferers
and problem-solvers. This Golden Mean between the extremes optimizes
problem-solving. Profit-sharing taxation will keep money close to the source
of the problem for faster problem-resolution.

Igknowance
Tax aka Bill of Responsiblity. Those who igknow doing right should be
punished to observe what is right for one-and-all. If a person has the ability
to respond to a problem, they have a responsibility to solve that problem
especially if they originated the problem. Either we tax igknowance to stop
it, or, it will eternally tax and waste our time.
-
De-electrification:
Many petty and minor crimes involve expensive tax-payer incarceration. A
simpler punity measure would be violators having their access to electricity
denied for a period of time. When judged guilty by a three justices of the
peace, the offender is excorted home with removal of circuit breakers with
retrieval after the time sentenced for the crime. Repeat offenders will have
the basic time of electricity denial doubled.
-
Bully-Stoppers:
There will be fewer school shootings if there is a process for automatically
spotting bullies and removing them from the particular school setting. Maybe
in the new school the bully will make better friends and the parents will
encourage better social interactions in place of having to move to a new
school district.
-
Parent does the time for child's crime: It has been shown that adolescent
crime drops when parents are encouraged, so to speak, to watch their kids
instead of watching TV or sports.
-
Ostracism:
A monthly brainbee to find seven people required to move out of district,
state or nation depending on the level of the offense.
Profit-sharing taxation and level rights foster the Morality of More Time
for more freedom and happiness.
