CH Douglas, the originator of Social Credit, agreed with the classical economists' assessments of land, labor and capital as factors of production. Douglas added one more that he thought was primary: the cultural inheritance of society which he defined as "the knowledge, technique and processes that have been handed down to us incrementally from the origins of civilization."When the Industrial Revolution began many believed humanity would eventually be freed from the need to work for its basic subsistence. I think we've reached that point for many Americans.
A Guaranteed Annual Wage for all US citizens would be independent of any income earned from other sources, and for those who refuse to work would allow them a roof over their heads and regular meals.
The money for such a program already exists, imho.
It's locked away in hedge funds and tax shelters and Government Sachs.
For thousands of years government has redistributed wealth upwards.
That could easily be reversed.
Here's the problem with your utopian ideal. It's those people who don't work. You see eventually the people who do work resent the slackers and they stop working too. That's called human nature.
What will you do to compel the workers to continue slaving away to support those who choose not to work. Because that is what you advocate.
I do find it amusing how you claim governments for thousands of years have distributed wealth upwards. That is patently ridiculous by anyone who has read history. Most of the time there was no government only strong men who were either benevolent or not who were able to fight for territory and defend it from the other wolves out there. Most of them died violent deaths. Sometimes they were nice and protected those who lived in their domain and most were merely content to ignore the serfs till tax time. Some were beasts and were horrible to their serfs. But there was no government.
Government as you identify it has existed for a very short time.
If Douglas is correct that cultural inheritance is the property of all of us, without exception, and not solely the property of those who control the means of production, then it's the "knowledge, technique and processes" handed down since the dawn of civilization that provides the guaranteed annual wage to all citizens.
Some citizens will choose to work and add to their inheritance.
Others will choose not to work.
The former will in no way support the latter since both will share equally in "the fruits of industry assured by the National Dividend and Compensated Price."
Social Credit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nature says you deserve everything.
Capitalism says you deserve nothing, and it guarantees life isn't fair.
Farmers share the same cultural inheritance you and I do.
If you think there's an element of redistribution involved in Social Credit, I agree.
And it's thousands of years overdue.
Let's see you make a computer without using nature.Nature says you deserve everything.
Capitalism says you deserve nothing, and it guarantees life isn't fair.
Nature doesn't make computers, flat screen televisions or BMWs. You have to be a moron to believe nature is fair. When the lion eats the zebra, is that fair to the zebra?
Farmers share the same cultural inheritance you and I do.

"Social Credit" is just another euphemism for communism, which has never worked and never will.

When the lion eats the Zebra she's performing a service to nature.

Yes, it does, but only if you work for it..

Capitalism says you only deserve what you have to obtain, slackers don't deserve the fruits of another mans labor. Lifes not fair nor is it the Governments responsibility to make it fair.

Where did you get your education? What exactly does nature provide you if you don't work? You are treading very close to looneydom if you truly believe that. More importantly I challenge you to go out for a walk in the desert somewhere with no water. I wonder how long it will take for Nature to swt you like a bug for your impudence.
Who's gonna collect? You?Nature says you deserve everything.

The service the lion performs is called natural selection, and the capitalist does NOT get sued, his corporation does which exempts the capitalist from criminal prosecution.Let's see you make a computer without using nature.Nature doesn't make computers, flat screen televisions or BMWs.

No, the lion is not doing nature a favour. the lion is doing what lions do. Which is eat, poop, fornicate and sleep....mainly sleep. If a capitalist poisons a river he gets the crap sued out of him. 100 years ago your arguments would have made sense, now they are the fevered expectorations of a looney.
Define "work".Nature says you deserve everything.

Nothing is overdue unless you have worked for it.

Remember that, Revolution Boi.
And if you're thinking the real revolutionaries are going to give you power or authority when they've taken over (snerk!), you're an idiot. You'll sit down and shut up and do as you're told, and you'll like it.
And you'll STILL be a failure.

You seriously lack the horsepower to compete in this, george. I suggest you stop trying. You'll just look even stupider than you do.
