ENOUGHNESS: Restoring Balance to the Economy

The Mission of a Progressive Community

Progressives don't come as a Conservative or Moderate or a Liberal. They are just a human being who connects by empathy for another human who is suffering. They may express that empathy by feeding someone who is hungry or they may open a soup kitchen to feed many who are hungry or they may advocate that Lawmakers should make it possible to end all hunger.

 While we are a strong supporter of charity as a tool to improve the condition of the human experience, we also believe that it is a function of the Governance of Society to guarantee the freedom from the want of   
1.  Sufficient food    2. Adequate shelter 
3. Effective Medical care 
4. Quality education  
5. Available transportation
Our current Mission is to create a system to Guarantee every citizen an Unconditional Basic Income to lift all from the Wage-Slavery of Poverty.  Equally important is to restore the power to Create money assigned by the Constitution to Congress. It is the time that Corporate Banks stopped using taxpayers to fund the Usury that gives them a profit on their accumulated profit.  Let the big Corporate Banks earned their wealth in the open market like Community Banks and the Federal Reserve Banks serve the Governments needs with zero interest Treasury bonds.

Our extended Mission is far more expansive.  That Mission is to explore, discuss, and advocate for ideas to improve the whole of life within the cradle where life began and has grown in complexity.   As important as finding a passion for the love of life is finding new ways to improve, preserve and defend it.  If you have a passion for the art of living and find joy in the awareness of the universe in which you express your being, then join us in our Mission.

The First Stonemason was asked what he was doing:  "I am laying stones he replied"

The Second Stonemason was asked what he was doing:  "I am building a wall he replied"
The third Stonemason was asked what he was doing:  "I am building a Cathedral he replied with great pride. " 

 It is not the size of your vision that makes you a contributor.  It is your willingness to do what you can to help. Let's build this Community together

How to Help

Helping Hands

Every organization that was created to do good has to find the two groups necessary for their success. They must identify those who need the help they seek to give. That is Mission. They must also seek out those who believe in the importance of changing the lives that the Mission exist for.  It is the believers who create the helping hands that form a Foundation under the Mission.

We are looking for you. We created this page to find you.  Like any organization, we know that big donors have a role to play that will move the Mission at a faster pace. We also believe that the small donors who are willing to make a monthly commitment for the long run are the real Community of lasting change.

A million person community of $2 dollar a month donors can support a beehive of activity that will motivate, educate, and activate change in the world.  We can create a living Community Commonwealth Coalition that can eliminate Poverty, end Climate change, help protect Animals, defend the oppressed and advance knowledge.
As we complete one Mission we can begin another to change for the good a world that is always changing for both good and evil

I am a strong supporter of charity as a tool to improve the condition of the human experience, 
MORE IMPORTANT, I also believe that it is a function of the Governance of a sovereign society to guarantee the freedom from want of

1. Food & clothing, 
2. Shelter, 
3. Healthcare 
4. Education.
Our Mission is to do more than just to discuss what must be done. Our mission is to find a way to get it done. I seek to find support among fellow Progressives to help me build a national Non-Profit Organization to educate as many as possible about Universal Basic Income and find practical ways to use existing Government programs that can be modified to eliminate "means testing"  by a BUREAU FOR BEGGING

I need your help to prepare us for a future of Technology & Robotics. That future will either make us Wage-Slaves trapped in poverty or it will free us to exercise Freedom to choose each our own Life Path on a Platform of Income Security.
 Join me as a Progressive and we can prepare America to face a changing future. Democracy hangs in the balance,

From Tribe to Community

America Wasn’t Built for Humans

Tribalism was an urge our Founding Fathers assumed we could overcome. And so it has become our greatest vulnerability.

By Andrew Sullivan

If I were to identify one profound flaw in the founding of America, it would be its avoidance of our tribal nature. The founders were suspicious of political parties altogether — but parties defined by race and religion and class and geography? I doubt they’d believe a republic could survive that, and they couldn’t and didn’t foresee it. In fact, as they conceived of a new society that would protect the individual rights of all humanity, they explicitly excluded a second tribe among them: African-American slaves. Within a century, that moral and political blind spot cleaved the country down the middle and led to the kind of bloody, manic, and brutal tribal warfare we now think of as something that happens somewhere else.


One of the great attractions of tribalism is that you don’t actually have to think very much. All you need to know on any given subject is which side you’re on.

Should the Left support a Basic Income?

22.01.2016

2016 will see basic income rise up political consciousness. Trials and referenda will take place across Europe. Should the Left support basic income? Half a century ago, the famous psychoanalyst and Frankfurt School theorist, Erich Fromm, examined the psychological effects of giving everyone a guaranteed income. His thoughts are instructive. Alone it is not enough.

The Basic principles of this Blog is that every person is entitled to the Essentials of Life
1.  Food & Clothes
2.  Adequate Shelter
3.  Effective Medical Care.
4.  Life Skills to pursue the accomplishment of your chosen pathway in life.

 I have publish this introduction & link to an article about Basic income because I believe that is a necessary program in the coming age of Technology & Robotics  that will eliminate the old methods that require much Human Labor.  To produce Goods & Service  is irrelevant  if you do not accompany it with a method to distribute the Bounty that will become available to us in the 'NEW AGE".

Poverty must end

Democracy Owes every Citizen a Dividend
on his Commonshare of the Commonwealth

We can eliminate all poverty in our Nation with a Universal
 Supplemental Security Income (SSI)   that exceeds the poverty level,   We could eliminate our massive " Bureau for Begging" that does "means testing" to determine eligibility. Everyone is eligible.

The funding would be done from government revenue obtained directly from the Federal Reserve System interest free.
Then we could apply a single flat rate tax on all income through the FICA system. The purpose of the Tax would not be for funding but would be adjusted to control inflation It would be raised if there was excess inflation and decreased if there was monetary deflation. In either case the poor and middle class would receive more than they pay.  The economic system would grow under the inflow of a Base Income and those who produced Goods & Service would have that  Base Income supporting the foundation of a stable economy.

The Rich would remain Rich, but most important, everyone would have sufficient food, adequate shelter, effective medical care and education to equally compete in the competition to improve their life style and accumulate wealth.
