Government
I believe in a Strong Federal government and autonomy for regions, cities and rural communities. The federal government has to manage the national economy, the currency and the army. The cities and rural communities can manage social affairs such as abortion for example, land management, their healthcare system and recreational drugs use
Economy
My economic views in a nutshell.
Core industries
I believe that some resources of the nation are to be state owned or publicly owned and cannot be entirely managed by private companies , these resources are:
- Power and Energy: Companies in these sector have the incentive to make the most money and charge ridicoulus prices for it,there is no incentive to innovate and will insteady try to block any better energy options if it threatens their market share.
- Healthcare and Pharmaceutical System: The healthcare system should have the job to cure people and not that of trying to capitalize on people's misfortune and charging them with crippling bills. The healthcare system is to be managed at state or city level as it would allow for a better and more efficient healthcare. The pharma sector if left to the private sector would result to companies trying to get as many as possible addicted and make the most profit out of it, for example the opioid epidemic was caused by some private companies selling higly addictive pills.
- Banking system: If left to the private sector it would result to them creating and sustaining huge monopolies that could never happen in the free market, businesses are pro-business not pro-markets, they would also be capable of making every citizen a debt slave which is what happens in the Usa.
- Legal system: A lot of times, many rich people commit crimes and evade punishment using their wealth and connections, this should never happen as everyone entering the legal system shall be seen as equal and not be able to use their whealt to get out of it.
State Management
The state should manage the resources above mentioned, but how? I believe that there should be some criteria:
Using the most efficient method to get to the wanted result, for example, the healthcare system should try to find the most efficient way to cure people using the least resources possible and should research new ways to cure people permanently if possible. I do not want a wasteful healthcare system like the NHS in the UK.
In core industries 1 and 2, people should have a choice to use the public healthcare system or private one, public energy dealer or private one, but why? The reason is to put pressure and incentivize innovation as the competing public and private sectors would try to one-up each other, and it would be beneficial to consumers.
Anti-Trust and Lobbying
I believe that the state has the job of trust-busting monopolies. Monopolies have the tendency to try to use their immense wealth to change the market to their benefit, And I believe that there should be only small or medium-sized companies Lobbying should be banned as I believe it is just another name for legalized corruption. For example, many pro-war congressmen and politicians are put there by the military-industrial congress and are tasked to go to war as much as possible.
Private Sector and Regulation
I believe that sectors that are not mentioned in my Core Industries should be left to the free market, although some industries can have more regulation than others. For example, the agricultural sector needs to have rules to prevent the use of cancerous and dangerous chemicals that can hurt the populace. The construction sector needs regulations to prevent buildings from collapsing after only months, and so on.
Land
I believe that there should be an Land Value tax to keep wasteful management of land as low as possible, i dont to eradicate landlords entirely as they provide homes to people who cannot afford homes but there should be oversight as they would be damaging if unchecked.
Taxes, Wealth, and Welfare
I believe in LVT, and progressive tax system for the sake of fairness and equality.
Social Affairs and Drugs
I believe that these kind of affairs are to be left to cities and rural communities, a community of farmers will detest drugs and will be anti-abortion while urban citizens will be pro drugs such as marijuana and tend to be pro abortion. These are matters that should be managed by locals not the federal government.
