Force private companies to be charitable to save cost/debt? …and remove the state!
Ideally I don’t believe in small state big society, I believe in complete removal of the state and very big society. In order to achieve this we need to;
a, remove all the instrumentation of the state.
b, remove costs imposed upon the state.
The latter is my main concern here, the more costs the state has the greater its deficit - naturally. If there were no state then private investors would be less inclined to create charges that ultimately they have to pay [even if its largely different groups of inventors].
An example; make the energy industries charge nothing for pensioners and the unemployed. Think of it as a list of all names and you simply cross off those people, this way no cost is incurred such that the govt has to pay for and hence draw money in order to do so. Ultimately it must be less of a cost to the private sector [overall] if the energy companies take a hit, yet the state bureaucracy is removed. Equally pensioners have done their part and should be able to stay warm in winter.
Why not also make payments exponential relative to income!
Another example; make rents for social housing free to pensioners and the unemployed, and also make rents scalable according to income. Originally for these people rent was simply paid from one govt dept to another ~ because council housing was nationalised hence there was very little cost. Since privatisation those rents now have to be paid to a private party, hence is an actual cost we all have to contribute too and which increases the deficit.
Another example; make all schools private and make payments exponential to incomes. We pay for them already so I don’t know why payments for services would get dearer if the math is worked out correctly.
Make all current state services private in a similar manner.
Make all ownership of all businesses shared I.e. no one actually owns 100% of their company, a given percentage would be owned by networks of mutually supporting industries and services. This is instead of taxes remember and would create accountability, as well as an environment where we all work as a team and share some wealth ~ which is better than the current situation where ‘risk is socialised and profits are privatised’.
Change central govt; replace current houses with a house of commerce and another of society and ethics. Lets let the experts deal with the economy and govt [house of ethics] act as its accountability element in the equation. Put democracy into the private sector as now we would vote fro both houses!
Change local govt; replace all councils with a group of local business leaders, these would both run the mutually supporting networks [their businesses included], and local services. Now you get to vote for people who wont bog the whole thing down with bureaucracy, and are experts in finance and business. You also introduce more democracy into govt and business.
Wow, it takes a lot of change just to make a small change
