As kids, we’re told only people who go to college/university for politics/economics/law are qualifiable to make/run a country. As adults, we see no nation these “qualified” adults form actually work as a nation, with all manifesto-driven governments failing. Which to me validates the ambitions of all political theorist amateurs, especially as there are higher hopes now that anything an amateur might throw at the wall can stick. Here’s my favorite from a friend.

    Part of one - inflationary tax. Eliminate most all forms of tax. Instead only way to fund anything is to print money.

    Money earned through criminal enterprise, once found is taken and “destroyed” (excluding damages to victims).

    Negatives that go punished reduce inflation and benefit everyone.

    This is a regressive tax so it would require a very assertive socialist support system with liberal spending on jobs and education for poor folks.

    No tax breaks for big companies because no taxes. There is no such thing as a balanced budget since there is no revenue, only things we decide are worth paying for.

    Would require regular currency adjustments. Still haven’t figured that part out yet. Maybe every 10 years decide how many zeros to take off everyone’s money and have a process for upgrading paper currency while most will be handled through banks.
