Copyright
Limit copyright to 20 years like patents, with no renewals, because renewals just protect the profits of Disney and other wealthy lobbyists.
Make DMCA takedown abuse a felony because it is used to stifle free speech.

Corruption
Issue massive cash rewards for exposing illegal or unethical behavior by government officials. Turn the rats against each other.
Government officials must be held personally financially responsible for illegal or unethical behavior, such as passing the PREP Act.
Ban congressmen and their family members from owning individual stocks, to stop flagrant insider trading like that by Nancy and Paul Pelosi.
Ban all levels of government from attempting to influence public opinion; government should respect and reflect the will of the people.
Make it a felony for any elected official or government employee to knowingly lie to the public, or to materially misrepresent facts to the public.
Require all laws — like vaccine mandates and insider trading bans — to also apply to members of Congress without any exemptions.
Aggressively rotat out DC politicians before they can fully develop their corrupt networks.
Make a point of bringing in total political outsiders as often as possible.
Forbid everyone at the FDA from ever working at any pharma company, and forbid all pharma employees from ever working for the FDA.

Crime and Prisons
Openly address the extremely disproportionate violent crime rate by black men relative to all others, instead of hiding it.
Abolish all "hate crime" laws because they inevitably result in unequal application of the law, favoring some groups over others. We already have laws against crime.
Implement public honors and a large cash reward for anyone who captures and flogs a looter or shoplifter or a protester blocking the road.
Require all police to wear functioning bodycams at all times when interacting with public or prisoners, all video to be used as evidence.
End civil forfeiture because it is theft by government.
Ban private prisons because they bribe judges to feed them more prisoners.
Legalize marijuana at the federal level because it is less harmful than alcohol.
Allow free speech for all prisoners so that we can learn about injustice.
Segregate prisons by biological sex. In particular, no men should ever be imprisoned among women.
Define "right to a speedy trial" to mean that a verdict must be reached within one year of imprisonment, defaulting to innocent.
Compensate those found innocent for their unjust time in jail. The money should come from the budget of the agency which imprisoned them.
End selective enforcement of laws by DAs. We should have minimal laws, but they should be enforced 100% of the time to avoid cases like Hunter Biden never being charged.

Discrimination
Forbid government from counting or classifying citizens by race because that is racist.
End racism by refusing to talk about it, as Morgan Freeman suggested in his famous interview with Mike Wallace.
Prohibit any special access to government services regardless of a person's status, wealth, or payment.
Eliminate all government favoritism or exclusion of citizen by race; therefore no Affirmative Action, nor exclusion of whites or Asians from any programs.

Education
Offer a basic citizenship, numeracy, and literacy test for a high school diploma by each state, administered by the Department of Weights and Measures, with objective answers.
Fund college with temporary income share agreements, not loans to give colleges a true motive to help students.
Let middle school and high school students test out of any subject so they don't waste their time.

Create state-level virtual universities of the very best teachers and classes, free for all students of any age.
Allow school choice, where parents can take their tax money to any school in the state, public or private.
Define the promotion of homosexuality or trans ideology to children, especially sodomy or trans flags in classrooms, as child abuse, because it is.
Ban homosexual men from being alone with boys, ever, because most gays were created through pedophilia.
Promote practical education, such as plumbing and HVAC, but also promote reading the traditional Latin and Greek classics, especially in the original languages.
Require middle school and high school courses in the rights guaranteed by the Constitution and how to sue for them.

Food
Make is a serious crime to introduce any insect-based food for humans without prominent warnings on the food that it includes insects.
Ban all seed oils as not appropriate for human consumption, because they are poisonous.

Foreign Policy
Put compensating tariffs on foreign goods from countries with lower wages or lower environmental standards, and to protect the US manufacturing base.
Seek national economic self-sufficiency in all necessary goods like oil and medicines so that the US may never be extorted by a foreign country.
Impose an absolute ban on dual citizenship, because it always creates conflicting loyalties. China prohibits dual citizenship for this reason.

Freedom of Speech
Prohibit discrimination in hiring and firing based on political activities outside of work.
Revoke all laws against "hate speech" because it directly violates the First Amendment.

Homelessness
Require mandatory prison time for hard drug use, because most homeless are addicts, and former addicts testify that enforced sobriety in prison saved them.

Immigration
Issue permanent shoot-to-kill orders along both the northern and southern borders.
Make everyone who enters the US illegally permanently ineligible for citizenship, green cards, employment, and welfare.
Establish strong borders to prevent illegal immigration, including a wall along the southern US border, to protect low-wage American workers from illegal competition.
Grant US citizenship to any illegal alien who gets his employer convicted of employing him. This would be more effective than a wall.
Require mandatory federal prison time for all employers of illegal aliens.
Eliminate all H1B and similar visas unless the incoming worker is paid at least twice as much as an American would be for that job, to prevent, eg, Facebook's abuse of H1B.

Infrastructure
Give official federal priority to fast, safe, cheap rail transit to city centers as in Europe, in place of subsidies and favoritism for cars and highways.
Attempt to re-achieve US energy independence to help keep us out of foreign wars and to improve our balance of trade.
Officially disparage and refuse to grant permits to modern architecture because it is cheap shit. Return to classical architecture.
Return to classical public art, perhaps with subtle new touches. Refuse to spend money on cheap gimmicky public "art".
Create pedestrian-friendly and completely safe town squares in every town, with a particular emphasis on introducing young people to each other.

Leaf Blowers
Ban all gasoline powered leaf blowers. They pollute with dirty engines, blow dust around, and make a lot of noise. In some areas the noise and pollution is continuous all week, every week, as one house after another gets gardening service from illegals.

Legislation
Require lesser authorities to defy unconstitutional laws and orders coming from above
Prohibit all "states of emergency" because they are used to subvert the Constitution, as was done in the Wuhan Virus scamdemic.
Create a Constitutional amendment to explicitly state that no part of the Constitution may be suspended ever, for any reason, for any amount of time.
Require all federal laws to be read in their entirety by all legislators before they may vote on them, to discourage lobbyist-written bills.

Limit bill length to 30 normal-sized pages of normal sized font, for more clarity about what is in the bill, and more public participation.
Promote the principle of very few laws, very well enforced "The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws." -Tacitus.
Guarantee the right of the president to fire anyone within executive branch at any time, especially long-time "civil servants" like Fauci.
Eliminate anti-competitive imposition of "safety" costs on small businesses because those laws are almost all written to benefit large businesses.
Require sunset provisions for all federal laws, requiring a new vote on whether the law is to be continued.
Publicly post all bills two weeks in advance of Congressional vote, to give the public a chance to read them.

Medical Care
Establish a Constitutional ban on lockdowns, mask requirements, and vaccine mandates. They must never be allowed under any circumstance.
Prosecute everyone involved with the creation of Wuhan Virus, especially the mass murderers Fauci, Collins, and Daszak.
Prosecute everyone who abused his or her power to mandate the dangerous and ineffective gene injection, whether in government, schools, or workplaces.
Require short clear written presentation of all non-emergency medical costs before treatment for market discipline of medical costs.
Absolve all patients from legal liability for medical care bills they did not agree to in writing in advance of treatment, aside from emergency care.
Require all emergency medical charges to be limited to fixed prices by law, because there to can be no market in emergencies.
Require medical insurers to give a coverage response to a proposed non-emergency medical bill within one day, again to control medical costs.
Allow import of prescription drugs from Canada.
Make it a felony to offer doctors or other providers payments to administer any drug or treatment.
Ban the practice of charging higher prices for the same medicine or treatment when the patient is uninsured. See image below.
Establish a Constitutional right to visit in person and hug any relative who wants visitors in a hospital or nursing home with no exceptions for any disease on either side. It must be their choice alone, not an administrator's.

Create a constitutional amendment prohibiting interventionism; American soldiers must never fight except against invasion of America, per George Washington's advice.
Eliminate NATO, because Europe is not America.
Eliminate all US military bases in foreign countries.

Money
Define the dollar as one ounce of 0.999 pure silver. Silver by weight worked well for thousands of years.
Require every business to accept silver metal cash by weight.
Ban all taxes on buying or selling silver. Such taxes are punishment of those who try to avoid being cheated by the Federal Reserve.
Forbid businesses from requiring payment in any form which can be blocked by government, as Canada did against legitimate protestors.
Create a Constitutional prohibition on political discrimination as a reason to deny banking or payment system access.
Require classification and prominent marking of all non-metal payment instruments as "Not money, only a debt, MAY DEFAULT", because they are merely debts.
Establish a Constitutional right to pay all debts and taxes with physical silver by weight, so that everyone can preserve savings as silver metal.
Eliminate the requirement for anyone to accept paper money because all paper money eventually becomes worthless.
Legally define all banking as either storage of silver for a fee, or participation in the bank's lending risk and bank run risk for an interest payment.
Eliminate the Federal Reserve entirely. Let the open market set interest rates at all times.
Limit the annual federal budget by Constitutional amendment to 1% of GDP with no exceptions, especially not for "emergencies".
Completely and permanently eliminate the national debt. Require the federal budget to be paid out of current revenue, similar to the "Swiss brake".

Privacy
Prohibit all levels of government from collecting or holding information on any citizen except as absolutely necessary for census, taxation, or criminal investigation.
Prohibit the government from monitoring the activities of anyone not currently accused of a specific crime. So no mass license plate reading or cell phone tracking.
Require all private people and companies which collect or distribute home addresses and phone numbers to prominently display all of the owners' home addresses and phone numbers, and all similar information they collect. Demand equality of exposure.
Prohibit airlines and other transportation from demanding identity papers. Everyone should be able to travel anonymously, as we did before.

Real Estate
Require notarization and publication of all bids on real estate to slow down the routine fraudulent bidding by realtors.
Require a publicly advertised price for a house to be a legally binding offer to sell at that price.
Prohibit government loan guarantees of all kinds, particularly housing or education loan guarantees, because they simply raise the cost of housing and of college.

Regulation and States Rights

Eliminate the FBI, CIA, NSA, NIH, FDA, and CDC in particular, with their functions transferred to the states, as is written in the Constitution.
Allow girl scouts to bake their own cookies at home.

Sex
Strictly separate multiple-person bathrooms for men and women, whether a person is mentally ill with the fashionable "trans" disease or not.
Ban gay men from adopting, since the majority are gay because they were molested as boys, and then frequently go on to become molesters themselves.
Ban the sodomy or trans flag from any property funded by tax money however indirectly, especially schools. Only official government flags may be displayed.

Require middle and high school courses in taxes, personal finance, insurance, coding, cooking, home repair, car repair, self-defense, survival skills, etiquette, public speaking, and stress management.
Require daily weight lifting and running in PE classes at every level including publicly funded universities.

Swap the current maximum tax rates on income from work vs capital gains until Georgism is implemented and income tax eliminated.
End Prop 13 in California, to be replaced with a land value tax, with zero taxes on buildings.
Prohibit sales tax on used property which was already taxed per the full retail price when first sold. Ultimately eliminate sales tax in favor of a land value tax.
Prohibit all public sector unions, especially teachers unions and prison guard unions. Government workers may not unionize against the people they serve.

Voting
Free all of the imprisoned Jan 6th protestors and give them each the Congressional Medal of Honor for protesting the fraudulent 2020 election.
Arrest Ray Epps and the other FBI goons for conspiracy and incitement.
Eliminate all voting machines in favor of paper ballots alone because it is insane to give centralized control of the totals to Dominion and similar companies.
Eliminate ail mail-in voting or drop boxes; have only paper ballots with photo ID in person at a local school on that one day only, counted by each party; Israeli style.
Require proof of US citizenship to vote.
Establish the inalienability of the right to vote for all US citizens, whether in prison or not.
Publicly fund all congressional and presidential campaigns.
Set term limits for Congress: 6x for the House, and twice for the Senate, so 12 years each, maximum.
Require a roll call vote in both houses of Congress on the verbatim topic of any petition with more than 10% popular support, without amendments.

All of this could be classified as paleoconservatism

There was absolutely ZERO evidence offered to support Indig's assertion that wages lag inflation.

Not true. The very definition of inflation is too many dollars chasing goods.

Ergo what is the cause of too many dollars? It IS the central bank printing them.

Do these dollars circulate uniformly NO they create a HUGE advantage for those who receive the dollars ahead of the others.

Consider these two graphs. Which illustrate how inflation does not occur uniformly.

82   Patrick   2017 Feb 22, 10:08am  

Credit creation may encourage great technical progress via investment, but I don't see that it necessarily has to do so.

Maybe people would have cars anyway, simply due to technical progress under a flat money supply.

83   indigenous   2017 Feb 22, 10:18am  

Technology and the fact that wages catch up with inflation, albeit lag inflation.

This chart demonstrates how inflation create wealth inequality. Both periods are marked by an increase in the money supply.

84   joeyjojojunior   2017 Feb 22, 10:24am  

"Not true. The very definition of inflation is too many dollars chasing goods."

No, the generally accepted definition is rising prices. Too many dollars chasing goods is one way to get inflation, but far from the only one.

85   indigenous   2017 Feb 22, 10:26am

but far from the only one.

Sure it is

86   indigenous   2017 Feb 22, 10:27am  

I have to admit Patrick that this thread allows me to make this point to where some may actually get it, as I have made this point many times before but the point was lost in the ad hom.

87   indigenous   2017 Feb 22, 10:28am  

The one that you don't get...

88   joeyjojojunior   2017 Feb 22, 10:28am  

"Sure it is"

lol. So what do you think would happen if we reversed the inequality chart you posted earlier. What if the inequality level were suddenly at the levels of the mid-70s with the top 1% only owning

Ask a specific question and I'll try to help you understand.

92   joeyjojojunior   2017 Feb 22, 10:42am  

"What if the inequality level were suddenly at the levels of the mid-70s with the top 1% only owning"

I mean, hypothetically, if you took enough money from the top 10% and gave it to the bottom 90% to reduce inequality to similar levels as in the 1970s.

93   indigenous   2017 Feb 22, 10:46am  

joeyjojojunior says

Then there would be less inequality?

94   joeyjojojunior   2017 Feb 22, 10:51am  

"Then there would be less inequality?"

You're learning fast. My point is that will create a good deal of inflation as the money goes from people who save it to people who spend it. Velocity will increase and so will inflation.

95   indigenous   2017 Feb 22, 10:55am  

joeyjojojunior says

You're learning fast. My point is that will create a good deal of inflation as the money goes from people who save it to people who spend it. Velocity will increase and so will inflation.

I actually agree with you about the velocity increasing inflation.

The problem with the other is that the people who save it are the beneficiaries.

96   joeyjojojunior   2017 Feb 22, 10:56am  

"I actually agree with you about the velocity increasing inflation. The problem with the other is that the people who save it are the beneficiaries."

How are they the beneficiaries exactly?

97   joeyjojojunior   2017 Feb 22, 11:00am  

It's called a hypothetical.

But, yes--gasp--I'm suggesting redistribution! Oh, the horrors!!!!!!!

98   indigenous   2017 Feb 22, 11:00am  

joeyjojojunior says

They were able to invest ahead of inflation

99   indigenous   2017 Feb 22, 11:02am  

My take is that calling Austrians a cult is ad hom

100   joeyjojojunior   2017 Feb 22, 11:02am  

"They were able to invest ahead of inflation"

Anyone is able to invest ahead of inflation. Anyone can buy stocks ahead of a bull market. What's your point?

101   Patrick   2017 Feb 22, 11:03am  

indigenous says

My take is that calling Austrians a cult is ad hom

No, it's not attacking you personally.

A personal attack would be "Are you a member of a fucking cult?"
The presence of the word "you" is usually a good indication that the comment is attacking the patrick.net user and not the point.

102   indigenous   2017 Feb 22, 11:04am  

joeyjojojunior says

But the people who have access to the money are the only one who can take advantage of the situation

103   indigenous   2017 Feb 22, 11:04am

Fair enough

104   joeyjojojunior   2017 Feb 22, 11:06am  

"But the people who have access to the money are the only one who can take advantage of the situation"

Everyone has access to money. Is there some secret stash that only certain people have access to that I don't know about?

105   indigenous   2017 Feb 22, 11:18am  

joeyjojojunior says

Is there some secret stash that only certain people have access to that I don't know about?

Yes it called access to the money supply, i.e. bankers, insiders. e.g. I doubt that Paulson came by his 700 million dollars with out the help of being an insider and access to money ahead of inflation.

106   joeyjojojunior   2017 Feb 22, 11:34am  

"Yes it called access to the money supply, i.e. bankers, insiders. e.g. I doubt that Paulson came by his 700 million dollars with out the help of being an insider and access to money ahead of inflation."

So, how does it work exactly. If I become a banker, how can I get my hands on this money?

And, incidentally, in the example I provided, inflation is created without any increase in money supply.

107   indigenous   2017 Feb 22, 11:50am  

joeyjojojunior says

That is part of bankers trade school.

joeyjojojunior says

The price inflation comes after the increase in the money supply, that is what I'm talking about.

108   joeyjojojunior   2017 Feb 22, 11:58am  

"That is part of bankers trade school"

So, you have no answer then. You know why you don't have an answer? Because it's complete BS.

"The price inflation comes after the increase in the money supply, that is what I'm talking about."

wtf--you agreed that a decrease in inequality will lead to higher money velocity and inflation. With no increase in money supply. Are you now changing your story??

109   indigenous   2017 Feb 22, 12:08pm  

joeyjojojunior says

No, first come the increase in the money supply then comes the inflation

110   joeyjojojunior   2017 Feb 22, 12:10pm  

"No, first come the increase in the money supply then comes the inflation"

So you lied when you said this?

"I actually agree with you about the velocity increasing inflation."

111   indigenous   2017 Feb 22, 12:13pm  

joeyjojojunior says

"I actually agree with you about the velocity increasing inflation."

No, go back and reread my posts

112   ddshutlz   2017 Feb 22, 1:01pm  

Government:
Send Trump to Guantanamo and waterboard his ass!!

113   indigenous   2017 Feb 22, 2:20pm  

I rest my case.

You still don't get it.

114   indigenous   2017 Feb 22, 3:11pm  

You don't get my point, have post plenty of data, Patrick appears to get it.

115   Patrick   2017 Feb 22, 3:16pm  

I just don't want the Federal Reserve to steal the purchasing power of my money.

I want my savings to remain valuable.

116   Patrick   2017 Feb 22, 4:41pm  

I'm certain that paper dollars will eventually be worthless, though maybe not in my lifetime.

It's a gut thing though. Silver and gold have been used as money forever, and I have little doubt that they will remain valuable far into the future. They are heavy and real. I like the weight of them in my hand.

It's also a reluctance to hand such control to a centralized self-interested body like the Fed. I just don't trust them. At all.
I'd rather have bitcoin than the Fed.
Anyway, I'm not calling for the end of central banks yet. They do have a function in regulating the supply of credit, as far as I understand. I just think that credit should be based on silver.

117   Patrick   2017 Feb 22, 4:45pm  

There are large transaction costs in attempting to use gold or silver in an economy based on fiat money. So it's impractical.

Until the dollar means an ounce of silver, that is. Then it will be very practical.

118   Patrick   2017 Feb 22, 5:33pm  

If the same amount of silver were circulating in the US, then its value would not change no matter what foreign nations did.

Imported goods might get cheaper or more expensive, but we should not be dependent on imports or exports to such a degree that they could massively damage our economy anyway.

119   indigenous   2017 Feb 22, 11:02pm  

The reason to have a metal/gold backed currency is to keep the government honest. The US currently borrows 1/3 of it's budget which means that they have an ever increasing debt.

They would have a harder time doing this if we had a gold standard.

Printing money means the government can use the Fed to print money to finance war. As was the case with LBJ during the Vietnam War.

Having a central bank allows politicians to placate the citizens by spending money to bolster the economy during recessions.

This has been going on since 1913 and has accumulated to 20 trillion dollars in debt. All of this was to placate citizens by politicians. Of course much of it goes to lobbyists for crony capitalists.

They claim that the central bank is needed to control the interest rates. Which is patently false, the interest rates are established by the market, the Fed just pretends they are in control. With a surplus of savings the interest rates naturally go down, when there is a scarcity of saving the interest rate goes up.

The money supply is another thing they say they need to control. Actually it doesn't need to be changed at all as the money simply becomes more valuable with deflation.

rando says

I'm certain that paper dollars will eventually be worthless, though maybe not in my lifetime.

No, exponential decay can go on forever. You won't run out of integers. So it will take a googol dollars to buy a gallon of milk. That's still a small number. A googolplex is a small number. All numbers are small because the number line goes to infinity.

rando says

My main concern is to stop the continuous devaluation of the dollar, which steals from everyone who holds dollars.

Yeah, at least with those Roman coins you could jerk off to them thousands of years after they were no longer good for buying anything.
