Declaration to Create a United Earth, New and Improved

[jmaf6556]

Hi everyone, I’d like to share our new and improved Declaration to Create a United Earth of perfect and infinite oneness, peace, love, freedom, and happiness: https://sites.google.com/site/jmaf6556/united-earth

You call for a flat tax, a flat tax on what? Also, I may have overlooked it, but I didn't see anything about personal freedom and free markets, or is that something you don't consider important?

[henry quirk]

Sorry, jmaf, but you lost me with "perfect and infinite oneness".

I prefer being being imperfect, finite, and apart.

Question: in the event your notions sweep the world, usher in utopia, what will you do with those who cannot, will not, 'fit in'?

These ideas are just meant to be a positive influence and plant seeds for the future, not to create any immediate drastic changes.

Henry, all are welcome, as it says under "Freedom", the aim is to be accepting of diversity, and allow people to choose for themselves.

Bob, I have flat tax in there because I think it's a helpful idea, but I don't have particularly strong feelings about it other than that it'd greatly simplify tax season. As I write in the Declaration, I agree with you about freedom.

I hope this is helpful, I wish you all a nice day.

Are you suggesting that everybody should pay the same amount of tax, from a billionaire to a pauper?

"Henry, all are welcome, as it says under "Freedom", the aim is to be accepting of diversity."

I hope you do a better job of 'accepting' that the current crop of diversity advocates.

Henry, yes people don't have to join if they don't want to, if this is one of the points you're getting at, I wasn't clear.

Bob, yes I think there are many advantages to a flat tax, not in the sense of everyone paying the same total amount, but the same percentage.

By the way, I've improved the Declaration against since the first post, for those who might be interested.

I don't have to join? And I won't be lobotomized if I don't?

Good deal!

You're preaching to the choir, mostly. You need to convince those who are intolerant and unwilling to accept that others don't believe exactly what they do and want to destroy those who disagree with them.
