=Economics =

[[File:MeritCapLogo.png]] Getting Rid of PWA
PWA or Passive Wealth Accumulation is the ultimate enemy of free markets as it distorts the market in favor of big business so it should be abolished.

[[File:Merit.png]] Inheritance
Abolish Inheritance plain and simple and get rid of trust funds

Artifacts
However i would like to say the above only applies to wealth and artifacts can be inherited however with a catch they can not be sold no matter what.

[[File:Bankocracy.png]] Interest
Interest in another from of PWA so to get rid of it I propose that that we nationalize all the banks and then the new central bank will ban interest.

[[File:Bankocracy.png]] Debt
While this is another from of PWA I don’t see how we can abolish it practically so it will have to stay.

[[File: Georgist.png]] Land and Natural Resource Ownership
Do to the Fact that no one made Land or Natural Resource it makes sense that you should pay the community to use said land and natural resources

[[File: Georgist.png]] Land
I support a 45% Land Value Tax

[[File: Georgist.png]] Natural Resources
I support a 25% Natural Resource tax as well.

[[File:Bizdem .png]]Mondragon Model
This a from of Co-oop invented by the Mondragon Corporation. basically the workers own the company like a normal co-oop however instead of the workers making the decisions directly every 4-5 years they elect the the CEO,magers,etc. these can be recalled by the workers at any time. To get this after we get into power we will immediately temporarily nationalize them for 2-5 years as we pay back the owners after this they would be slowly switched to this model.

[[File: Cooperative Socialism.png]] Direct Co-oops and Small Business
Direct Co-oops should be encouraged on the local level via the Cleveland Model. Small business will be allowed to exist but can not have more than 15 employees.

[[File:MunicSoc.png]] Cleveland Model
based off the evergreen cooperatives in Cleveland this model should be used to support worker co-oops. basically Anchor Institutions(such as hospitals and schools) will be encouraged/forced to buy goods and services from local worker co-oops these co-oops would be supported by a Community Development Corporation which would be backed the government.

[[File:Guildsoc.png]] Guilds
Guilds would replace unions as they are more encompassing and meritocratic.

[[File:World.png]] Trade
I support free trade generally however I do think that there should be a global regulater my proposal for which I will propose in Foreign section

[[File:Welf.png]] Welfare
I do believe in a modest welfare state

[[File:UBI.png]] UBI and NIT [[File:Chilib.png]]
I firmly believe in a UBI as it doesn’t punish anyone for being rich or poor as for the NIT it helps poorer families and eases them out of it thus stopping the welfare trap.

[[File: Gero.png]] Old Age pension
Once you turn 60 you will get a 1,000 dollar check every month.

[[File:Welf.png]] Healthcare
Generally i support the government paying for some stuff(especially vaccines) however for the rest you should a monthly fee for more government coverage(though for veterans/disabled people can get discounts) private insurance would also be allowed to exist.

[[File:Nooc.png]] Education
I do believe that Education should be free for everyone

[[File:Nooc.png]] Trade School
I personally think that most people should go to Trade School and only people with a GPA above 3.5 should be allowed to go to collage.

Housing
I firmly believe that Housing is the backbone of the economy

Infrastructure
Infrastructure is very important

Taxes

 * Income Tax:
 * Very poor: -5% (they'll get NIT)
 * Poor: 5%
 * Lower middle: 10%
 * Middle: 18%
 * Upper middle: 24%
 * Rich: 34%
 * Very rich: 44%
 * Sales Tax: 8%
 * Carbon Tax: $60/ton of CO2
 * Inheritance Tax:100%
 * Outsourcing Tax:25%

Sovereign Wealth Fund
These are quite useful and should be used a lot

Use of AI in Economic planning
As I said above in the Nationalization section AI would be used to used in addition to that it will be used to decide Economic policy

Outsourcing Tax
=Civics =

Technocratic Council
The Technocratic Council comprises 25 members and would be the main governing force of the county. Its members must have an IQ of above 130 and be above the age 45 to be a part of council. To join you mast pass vigorous background checks and pass a special test to join. Members are replaced every 15 years and you can’t run again immediately after there term however they can run gain in the one after that.

Parliament
Parliament will have 999 members and follow the Westminster system. elections will be every 2 years will use proportional representation and ranked choice voting.

Head Technocrat
The head technocrat in the Leader of the country.He is appointed by the Technocratic Council and approved by Parliament if either parliament or the Technocratic Council withdraw support he loses power.

Police and prisons
The police need to be demilitarized as its quite frankly ridiculous a great example of how ridiculous is it is the the FIU a university in my area police have 50 M-16s and a tank so yeah that needs to go. As for prisons they should have more focus on rehabilitation that said the death penalty should stay in for the most serious crimes.

Use of AI in government
Now AI could be used in government for several things like reducing bureaucracy and decision making.

=Cultural/Social =

Cultral Individualism
To but it quite simply I don’t care really what people do provide d it doesn’t violate the harm principle

Race
WIP

Immigration
WIP

=Technological = =Foreign = =Reform or Revolution = = Philosophy =

Utilitarianism
The moral code i am mostly aligned with is utilitarianism.I firmly believe that we as humans should help our fellow man. I personally a act utilitarian as a result I judge a action based on whether it was good(in my eyes of course)

Hedonism
Despite what i said above I also think it is important to treat and have fun yourself

Moral Subjectivism
While do think it is important for people to have moral codes i do believe that morals have no fundamental value on there own and thus even of you do not follow my moral code you are still human

The need to try
There is this old Roman saying that you only lost if you say you lost I firmly believe in that. I believe that no matter how bad it is you need to keep trying.

Cartesian Anxiety: why having a stable foundation of knowledge is impossible
Do to the fact that knowledge is always changing and full knowledge is impossible this is bound to happen. That said I believe it is most likely to happen to smart people and the smarter you are the more likely you realize you have a high chance of being wrong.

On the Subject of mind and body
The mind and body are to separate things however they are connected if the body is to die that the mind will die and if the mind is to die the body will also die.
