Tax the Economy, not the Individual Shift from $30 trillion income tax base to $6.2 quadrillion transactions tax base

I'll say it again and again and again. All this would go away if we stopped taxing income and tax money movement instead. #Civilution

Corporate boards are the problem. Their fiduciary responsibility is to shareholder passive profit. Their tool is scale and market control, regardless of the destructive environmental and cultural externalities from their decisions. Growth at all cost to make money from money. Time for a #civilution

There's a better way. Flow Tax. The total transactions in the U.S. per year is $6.2 quadrillion ($6,200 trillion!). Automatically extracting 0.05% from every transaction would remove $31 trillion from the money supply. Click for FAQ's #civilution

I'm done replying. Replying to "Be the rock" with something as innocent as...

"Sometimes be the sand:
- flexible
- adaptive
- resilient
- diverse
- fluid
- communal"

draws a block. I have better things to do like civil stewardship initiatives and community. #civilution

Our culture is succumbing to technology addiction. I'm moving toward being a born again luddite. #civilution

So much for civil stewardship. Fear of retribution is such a waste of spine. #civilution

It's not socialism, it's civil stewardship. True universal equality is a recognition that we are born into a world where life is not a contest but a gift. Where all of us are given the opportunity to find our own purpose, to contribute in our own way, to deliver with our own strengths. #civilution

All this can easily be remedied. Dump the 103 year old, 7000 page income tax code with Flow Tax. The national debt could be gone in half a dozen years. #civilution

Tax the Economy, not the Individual Shift from $30 trillion income tax base to $6.2 quadrillion transactions tax base

There is an elegant solution to this if we have the courage. Replace the 112 year old, 7000 page income tax code with a single sentence. "Automatically extract a very small tax from the credit side of every transaction." Call it a redistribution of wellbeing. #civilution

Adopting a wide boundary vision is not simple. It requires courage. Purposely narrowing the boundary limits the visibility of both the problems and solutions. Selfishly avoiding externalities to simplify and bolster decisions has led us to our current poly-crisis. #civilution

I'll say it again... and again. There's an incredible solution to our tax fairness - Flow Tax. It's time to replace the 112 year old, 7,000 page income tax code. #civilution

A glimmer of stewardship has begun. Now let's run with it. Start with upgrading our economic model to serve us, not the other way around. Share the economy, don't hoard it. Adopt the Flow Tax and launch our #civilution

What really infuriates me is we let money dictate our moral direction and not the other way around. After all, money has no intrinsic value. It only lays claim on what does. Change the tax model so that personal, cultural, and ecosystem stewardship is our primary civil focus. #civilution

Tax the Economy, not the Individual Shift from $30 trillion income tax base to $6.2 quadrillion transactions tax base

This will go a long way to fix things. Convert our 112 year old, 7000 page tax code into a single sentence. "Automatically extract 1/2 % from the credit side of every transaction between 2 different entities". Imagine the public ground swell if politicians added it to their platforms. #civilution

An extraordinary conversation. It may take 2 or 3 sessions to make it through because of the depth. #civilution

Tax the Economy, not the Individual Shift from $30 trillion income tax base to $6.2 quadrillion transactions tax base

I'm going to keep promoting this tax model to everyone I see - you, lawmakers, medical staff, neighbors, and on. The volume of cascading values it brings is extraordinary. Fixing taxes will fix the economy, culture, environment, and personal wellbeing. #civilution

Does anyone realize how many votes would swing their way if they adopted this initiative as a plank? Dump the 112 year old, 7,000 page, heavily obfuscated and manipulated tax code by lobbyists and unscrupulous politicians with real tax equality. #civilution - it's time.

The volume of cascading values coming from a fundamental change to the tax model is extraordinary. Even shutdowns would not be a thing. Shift from an income tax base to a transactions tax base. #civilution

Add Flow Tax to the democratic platform. Everyone would benefit. #civilution
