RE: MONETARY: Philippine E-VAT 12% must be scrapped

[Dan Bell <dbell@kent.edu>]

Dear Norman,

I think that is a great way to go. I believe the state has the reach to
collect the needed
funds, but the local communities have the best understanding of how to
address their
needs and have the greatest interest in administering the money
effectively. With the
state serving as a common denominator of these local entities in terms of
funding and
coordination of activities that require a broader geographical region
than one local
entity would handle, a diversity of approaches can be used to handle the
same basic
problem, and the networking of these community organizations can allow
them to
learn from each others best practices.

Furthermore, this network of empowered organizations will do a better job
of holding
the state accountable for how it collects and distributes funds.

Cheers,

Dan

Dear Dan,
 
South Africa is looking at a paradigm shift away from state ‘delivery’ of services, with considerable local elite corruption through supply-side dominant party patronage to financing citizens as ‘actors’ through registered community bodies. These act as partners of the state, providing equal ownership of joint assets and equal rights to ‘use rights’ and to dividends.
 
The model is explained in the paper attached.
 
Yours truly, Norman Reynolds

Hello Dan,
Well, I think, this is an opportunity to dwell on other issues contained on that letter whether it is from Mr. Art Bell or from a hoaxer. What could be done to save women from prostitution under the present financial-economic system? Genuine  Monetary reformers, social crediters, activist for economic justice and alternatives and other concerned citizens might have genuine concern to liberate our women from the clutches of prostitution or pornography as a result of the harsh and savage cruelty of economic injustice debt money system.
Since 1991, I have been proposing "the salary for the mother at home" or a remuneration for the women at home" to ensure economic security to them to raise and look after children without being pressured to work outside because of the lack of money and poverty. But the Philippine government is not interested to my proposal. It is only interested to borrow money  to global mega-bankers and  collect taxes  like such 12% newly implemented Expanded Value Added tax to pay interest to global bankers.
Thank you for reading and for your comments.
Sincerely yours,
 
Eric V. Encina
