| Zee, Land Value is based upon sale price. No one has the right to sell, and no one has the right to defend the value of property their beyond claiming retribution in a civil court against direct alteration or destruction of it. Water has more value in the desert...I can't force people to turn their homes into desert to protect my Water Value.
Anyhow guys, I've cooked up a proposal which may build us a bridge out of empire. I recommend contacting your representatives if you are interested in limited government. Here's how we win.
I: Establishment of State Naturalization.
II: Commission-Employment System for State Citizens
III: Rate Hiking on Federal Employment Priviledges.
The State creates priviledges for "all" persons (residents) within it's jurisdiction under the current Law. The goal is to limit the State to defining Obligatory Priviledges for State Citizens instead of for "everybody." While all U.S. citizens should have the protections of the law, unregistered immigrants have exploited this loophole for decades.
So what does this do?
1. Allows liberal economic policies against federal priviledges.
2. Allows conservative social policies against federal priviledges.
3. The end result is a libertarianesque set of State priviledges that outcompete Federal ones.
Sounds simple enough, but how to get it past the State Assembly? The right will be interested in locally controlled legislation while the left will be interested in social justice solutions.
Corporatism is a very dangerous game to play, and I don't recommend jumping in unless you know what you're doing. I spent a few days here checking out state and federal law just to be sure what I'm pushing is legal.
In the long run, we're shooting for:
1) Revisal of the 14th Amendment so that State Citizens do not automatically become Federal Citizens. Crappy Federal priviledges will help this process.
2) Federal Priviledges are run 100% by the states themselves.
I think it can work. Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions? |
