A free society
With freedom and liberty for all.
A Better World Together.
For the best of life is for all of us.
A world of social mobility,
A world of economic prosperity,
A world of equal potential for everyone.
A world with rights
Your rights
My rights
Everyone's rights.
A fair world,
A tolerant world,
A clean world,
A green world.
A world where anything is possible.
This is our destiny.
It's ours if we choose it.
We are humanity.
We humankind are family.
We chance that by the power of our efforts
That we may shape the destiny of our fate.
We speak words of joy, words of gladness
Words that are our belief
Words for what we already feel in our heart
Words for what we already know in our mind
Words to help us be clean and clear
And bright and bold and swift
We do gain our freedom by hope and by expectation.
By words unadorned and by love unashamed.
However far away from each other we are,
We do speak in one voice and in one unison.
Words, hope, and expectation do gain our freedom.
They do impel us and propel us they do guide and help our actions
They do shape our actions and the actions of the powerful
By our hope and our effort we do help make a better world together
Make your wishes and I know what you wish for
The peace the freedom the joy the love that is natural to every being
Make as many as you like
And the more wishes you make the more wonderful everything will become
These beliefs are natural and whole and good
They are our beliefs
They will help us speak what we know in our hearts and believe in our minds
These our beliefs are our future our freedom and our belief
These our beliefs are what is already inside us
Words whose speech more fits the general hope and desire
The hope and glory of our freedom
For by these words shared in our act of speaking
The price of freedom is made easier
A natural act
A natural breathing of the soul
A natural state of our being
I believe liberty is natural to humankind.
My strong faith and belief is we humankind are family.
All humanity furthers the expression of humankind's freedom on Earth.
It rises in every human breast and every human breath.
It lives in our actions and in our words. It is paramount.
This universal freedom is for everyone and without exceptions.
Humankind have a common faith a common language a common culture.
It is our love for each other. Our kindness. Our generosity.
Our universal values are found bringing us together in every time and in every place.
Choose to stand in your liberty with your fellow humans.
That we never again shall stand alone nor be parted as the sand.
Not only to have had empires be overturned, but also to have Republics be fulfilled.
We have inculcated within our breast the power of freedom and the desire
to share along with all humanity the emancipation which comes from a free people freely choosing to freely make a free society.
Peace and love and joy to one and all.
Let no-one persuade us against this sweet fruit of the redemption of our years of effort.
Freedom is our birthright. Freedom is our heritage. Freedom is our destiny.
I stand before you to remind you of our destiny.
A free people.
Chasers of the dream. And providers of the reality.
I stand before you to recommend the future.
A free people freely choosing to freely make a free society with freedom and liberty for all.
A Better World Together.
I am privileged to speak for the liberty of humankind.
Not only privileged but honored.
Hold your light bright within you.
Unify with me as I unify with you and together we will progress the fullness of freedom for everyone.
No person is on their own.
As we walk towards each other we help unify the light.
Together we will grow in intelligence, together we will gain our freedom.
Humankind are a community of freedom both political and economic.
A family of love and unity and cooperation.
We must not forget to fulfil our destiny and our promise.
We hope for ourselves the unifying destiny of our freedom.
In these things we, humankind, family, do believe.
The best of life is for all of us.
A world of social mobility, a world of economic prosperity, a world of equal potential for everyone.
A world with rights, your rights my rights everyone's rights.
A fair world, a tolerant world, a clean world, a green world. A world where anything is possible.
This is our destiny. It's ours if we choose it. We are humanity.
Our institutions help us express our love for each other.
We believe in freedom and we believe in our principles.
We joy in them and uphold them and support them.
We believe that if we uphold our principles then will we get our freedoms.
I have a strong belief and faith in humanity and in our being family together.
A joyous belief that our destiny is freedom and that we gain it by our principles.
We are no less honored to defend the freedom of one person than another and we have no shame in the defense of the liberty of humankind.
We believe that government is instituted for the benefit of the people
And must take the forms that are most beneficial to the people,
And that we must hold common institutions among ourselves
For the strength and progress of liberty.
Our Republic is our Freedom.
We believe in our Republic.
Democracy. Freedom. Liberty. Education. Progress. Development. Love.
In love in unity in liberty in hope. In expectation of the fullness of our freedom.
A world of Republics with free votes and free movement and free enterprises on all lands, seas, and shores.
Democracy and voting for all people.
Republics from the South of Africa to the North of Africa.
Republics from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
Republics from South America to North America.
The fullness of freedom is for everyone.
Free markets, free trade, fair trade, free speech, free movement, free assembly, the right to due process, and to protection from search, spying, and seizure.
A right to shelter, education, good health, sufficient food, clean drinking water, sanitation.
A right to community. A right to good help in community organization.
A right to protection of these rights. Without discrimination. Equal rights and in equal language.
With unity. With love. With freedom. Together as family. We can help provide for each other.
We have been doing this. We are doing this. We will do more.
I stand before you as a person of the universe, the galaxy, our solar system, and Earth - and as a believer in the freedom of humanity.
I stand before you to bring before you the best of goals of humanity.
I stand before you as an act of faith and a declaration of belief in the possibility of humankind.
I come before you not to win your hearts and minds.
Rather to tell you that you have won mine.
I come before you not because I want your vote.
I come before you to cast my vote.
And I vote for you.
I super do.
We are family together. United in love and in freedom.
These and more are our freedom. Our principles. Our liberty.
We humankind are one family.
We believe this truth.
We prefer the familiar truth
That the fullness of freedom is for all and in full.
Familiar because it is a truth that all humankind
Know in their minds and believe in their hearts.
We prefer unknown vistas
That arise before us
As we exercise our liberty
And create better worlds together.
We know that we cannot always tell
What freedom will create
But we have faith in the goodness of humankind
We believe in the actual possibility
Of the harmony and freedom of humankind
And in its present and continual progress
Among all peoples and places
And all times and ages.
We believe in having a Republic
And in having a free economy
That fits the definition of freedom for all.
And their hope and their destination
We believe in the sufficient wealth
For every person
And the more general equality
Of wages and persons
That a free economy is expected to deliver.
We prefer the happiness
Of that better world
Where things are better
Even though utopia might be always far in the distance
We prefer the utopian bliss
Of a better world
Generation by generation
We prefer the better future
That is always possible.
We prefer the stars as our destination
And perfection as our destination
And though we miss
As will always or often be the case
Yet we shall have aimed higher
And for doing that
We shall have gone further
We dare to Conserve and to Progress
And I know just what you say to me
Conserve and progress our course
Conserve and progress our fate
Conserve and progress our destiny
Conserve and progress our belief
And I agree.
You say to me
Accept the tried and true path of love for all people
Accept the tried and true belief that we are all equal of worth and of potential
Accept the tried and true acceptance of liberty for everyone
And I agree
And I am joyful at our belief in liberty
We have not always attempted with much exactitude
To define the entirety of liberty
Without doubt it denotes not merely the freedom from bodily restraint
But also the right of the individual
To engage in any of the common occupations of life
Where they do not deny the core rights of others
We hold the right to acquire useful knowledge
To believe severally whatever we believe
And to keep our beliefs within our conscience
And to share and teach the same to others
We hold the right to have our rights protected
Equal rights and in equal language
To hold our own relations of marriage
And of family and of community
To establish a home and to bring up children
And to generally enjoy the exercise of our liberty
Pursuant to our happiness
The right to live in courage
The right to live without fear
The right to so organize and so arrange
The world around us that it please us
Without harming others
Within the bounds of reason
Within the principles of liberty
The most good for the most number of people
The freedom of the individual
The most we can get for ourselves and for each other
We choose the sweet beliefs of liberty
We humankind
We have grown
We have expanded
We have supported
We have upheld
We have progressed
Our freedom
Our liberty
Our republic
Our federation
Our humanity
Our righteousness
Ourselves humankind
We believe in the need
To secure the conditions favourable
To the pursuit of happiness
We hold by our thought and our belief
Such institutions as do better help us
To show our love for one another
That we may uphold and support each other
In our liberties and in our general welfare
We do uphold to say as a community
That we do respect each and every person's individual rights
That each individual may hear from the community
By way of our institutions and our community declarations
That everyone is accorded the same dignity and liberty
That every individual
May know that their rights and freedoms are safe in the community
That every individual
May hear that everyone is accorded the same liberty and freedom
That every individual
May hear that everyone is accorded the same rights and freedoms
That every individual
May hear that everyone is accorded equal rights and in equal language
We speak good words
We speak good morals
We speak good charity and good love
We speak good order of our economies
We express our beliefs
With what we have as our efforts
And what we have as our concerns
And with what we have as our own knowledge
And with what we have as our own understanding
Decade by decade
And generation by generation
We did gain our rights our freedoms our liberty
Decade by decade
Generation by generation
And we are free
We uphold and progress good beliefs
Doing the same as all people have done
Throughout all times and ages
Throughout all places.
And we add our efforts
To help in our time and turn and place
To progress the freedom of humankind
As we each do at this time
As others have done previous to ourselves
And as others will do after this time.
All people at all times and places
Have found timeless universal truths
Truths that all people can find
Truths all people have found
To various extents at various times and places
And which all people have expressed
In various ways and to various extents at various times and places
The full expression of these rights is exactly what all people need.
We believe in enumerating our rights.
Enumeration of our rights helps support our liberty.
We express at our various times and places
The things that we find most necessary to our cause
As best as we can find to express our rights and freedoms
We say the words of freedom.
To steady and smooth out the words that make policy and law.
That our liberty may be held clean and clear among us.
We speak to help ourselves grow in understanding
We speak because good words help freedom grow
We speak because good words help good order
We have remembered the words
We have remembered to speak the words
We have remembered to share the words
We have remembered to believe the words
We have remembered to find good expressions of the words
We have remembered to find good enactments of the words
We dare utter in our day
The list of things we require as basic for life and for liberty.
We deem this necessary for keeping and progressing a republic.
I am unafraid to set out our standards of liberty.
I insist on setting out our standards of liberty.
We by our right of freedom of speech
Do secure our right to a free discussion of public events and public measures,
And to enable every person at any time
To bring the government and any person in authority
To the bar of public opinion.
We believe the rights of due process apply in equal measure to every individual
Without concern as to who they are or with what they are charged
We believe in specific warrants.
We believe against creating files on all the people
We believe against searching and spying and seizing.
We believe in the right to humane treatment
We believe in the right to dignity
We believe in the standard of liberty
We hold the standard openly
We do this for the benefits of liberty
We believe in criminal justice and civil justice
Social justice and economic justice
We believe in good living conditions for everyone
We have the right to food.
We have the right to water.
We have the right to shelter.
We have the right to sanitation.
We have the right to healthcare.
We have the right to education.
We have the right to employment.
We have the right to a minimum standard of living.
Everyone on the planet has all these rights
We believe in upholding all these rights
And in all places and in all times
And in all our occupations and institutions
We do always seek to gain
And to uphold and to maintain
And to progress
The fullness of liberty for all
We are humankind one family together.
We have overturned oppression,
And we fortified our hearts with freedom and compassion.
Not that we may deny another
But that all may live free.
Not only oppression overturned
But also to have all freedom and compassion fulfilled.
We believe in our rights
We here in each the time and place where we do find ourselves
Believe in ourselves as having gained and as gaining
The rights that are due to all persons.
In the defense of our rights
I offer you a robust endorsement of liberty.
A better world
Is often as easy to attain
As gaining or correcting or supporting
Or better expressing or progressing some of our rights.
We believe in love.
We believe in harmony.
We believe in joy.
We are one world, humankind, family
We are a free people.
All humanity furthers the expression of humankind's freedom on Earth.
It rises in every human breast and every human breath.
It lives in our actions and in our words. It is paramount.
Freedom is our birthright.
Freedom is our heritage.
Freedom is our destiny.
We are humanity
And wherever we are
We shall keep and continue this universal freedom.
We see before us the brighter world we can build together.
To share along with all humanity
The emancipation which comes from a free people
Freely choosing
To freely make
A free society.
We believe in each other.
We believe in everyone together.
We believe in love.
We are part of a republic of freedom
Which spans universes and transcends time
And is as sweet by its many other names.
The fullness of freedom for everyone this is our Republic.
We are humankind.
We believe in freedom.
We believe in liberty.
In full and for all.
We are founded upon love and intelligence.
We are founded upon joy and harmony.
We are founded upon freedom and liberty.
We are founded upon good economy for all.
We are founded upon the good beliefs and the good expression
Of that good light found in every individual
That light which we are
We believe in keeping to the principles
Upon which the Federation is founded.
We believe in upholding the soul of the Federation
And in helping to progress its expression.
We believe this takes our efforts and our beliefs
And we do have these efforts
And we do have these beliefs
That we find ourselves more capable to our cause and more known to each other.
That we might have help to be better organized to gain the fullness of our freedom.
We are family together. United in love and in freedom.
These and more are our freedom our principles our liberty.
By our institutions and our public sentiment
We gain and keep our liberty
We all of us are the people
Together we are free
We are one world, humankind, family
We are a free people.
All humanity furthers the expression of humankind’s freedom on Earth.
It rises in every human breast and every human breath.
It lives in our actions and in our words. It is paramount.
We believe in freedom and we believe in our principles.
We joy in them and uphold them and support them.
We believe that if we uphold our principles then will we get our freedoms.
Our institutions help us express our love for each other.
We believe that government is instituted for the benefit of the people
And must take the forms that are most beneficial to the people,
And that we must hold common institutions among ourselves
For the strength and progress of liberty.
The government is commonly for two things.
That which we cannot easily do except as a community.
And that which we do much better as a community.
The personnel who help the people
They must not be moneymakers getting riches for themselves
They must not be merely earners of fees
They must be helpers of the people
They must help those who need help
A state is not a mere society,
Having a common place,
Established for the prevention of mutual crime and for the sake of exchange.
Rather the state is more than this.
Political society exists for the sake of noble actions,
And not of mere companionship.
Institutions, enterprise, government,
Friends, neighbors, and family
They are all part of our team
We get where we are by the efforts of others
By the world they built, whatever they managed to build
We continually remind ourselves
That our inner and outer lives
Are based on the labors of other people, living and dead,
And that we can exert ourselves
In order to give in the same measure
As we have received and are still receiving.
Our deeds are a living force
Throughout the wide world in our entire civilization of today,
And will so continue
Through countless generations,
Through untold ages.
In the long run we go up or go down together.
Organizations and beliefs do not maintain themselves.
They are maintained and changed and progressed by effort.
Our institutions and our principles are not self-existent.
They are maintained by the effort of those who believe in them.
Some people think the government is there to rob the people
Some people hate paying any tax for any cause and think of ways to avoid paying tax
Some people think they do everything on their own efforts alone
Government isn’t there to rob the people
Government provides infrastructure and education
And income and opportunities for the less fortunate
And sets regulations for worker conditions and the environment
All this helps provide for the health of the Republic
Government has real costs and real services.
Government gives real help to real people.
Government is the best way to do this for some things.
Not only because of cost but also because of surety.
We can speak advisingly about legislation
Legislation for the workers tends to help them
But legislation from owners and managers must be checked extra carefully
We can speak caringly about the poor.
We should establish a poverty line
Not only by what is absolutely necessary
But also by relative poverty
We can speak considerately about tax.
We should tax not only relatively the same portion
But the rich can be taxed above this portion
We can speak concernedly about wages
There should be no excessive costs
Rentier wages and unfree activities are wrong
Team doesn’t take away our freedom.
Team gives strength to our freedom
Team doesn’t take away from our accomplishments
Team helps give foundation and support to our accomplishments
Paying fair tax helps everyone in the community
The richer incomes who don’t pay fair taxes aren’t being heroes
They are stealing from the spirit and the purse of freedom
We do not buy slavery with our taxes
We buy freedom
For ourselves and for those who are less fortunate
We can pay for the poor
We give them welfare from what we can afford
I believe welfare helps strengthen you
I believe welfare helps strengthen your families
I believe in free markets
I believe welfare helps provide the strength that should be yours
I believe this money is best paid as wages by the free market.
I believe that if the free market fails you then we can pay this money by spending taxes
I believe welfare lifts people out of poverty.
I believe welfare helps people have better opportunities.
I believe welfare helps people to be independent.
I believe in hope and in providing people with opportunities
We higher tax payers should be so thankful
For the opportunity of helping those in need
From our taxes we can provide for the elderly
By this we look after our parents and grand-parents
The working generation provides for the retired generation
We set aside money and it pays for the retired generations
We in our turn will be provided for by future generations
The money we give is recorded in an account
Only the working generation can provide for the retired and the sick
Their labor power is reflected in the national productivity
And their labor power is reflected in the prices of stocks and shares
We are repaid in relation to the proportion we paid into the system
Private insurance invests in a basket of businesses
Businesses and stock markets rise and fall
Government insurance invests in the entire nation
The entire nation is usually a safer overall insurance investment
This helps provide insurance for everyone
From our taxes we can provide for the sick
We can decide how much to pay
We set aside a budget and form an institution
The institution is a public body and not a government body
Funded by the government from taxes.
Owned by the people, and run by medical staff.
The institution has a budget and it has a goal.
The most good for the most number of people.
We provide this within the budget we have.
It can have price discovery committees
And efficiency and best practice committees
And implementation and negotiation committees
This organization can act upon a continuum
There can be a continuum of healthcare industry versions
People can decide where on the continuum they want their government
They can do this by their votes and by hearings committees
On this healthcare industry continuum
We could have a universal national healthcare service
Where we pay for everyone outright
A good general level of healthcare for everyone
Or our healthcare system can have a universal general minimum
Where everyone must buy a minimum
And the government buys this minimum for the poor
A good general level of healthcare for everyone
When you are forced to buy something it is a tax
Universal systems have cheaper prices
Or our healthcare system can have a universal welfare minimum
Where everyone must buy a minimum
And the government buys this minimum for the poor
A welfare level of healthcare for everyone
Or our healthcare system can have a non-universal welfare minimum
The government buys a minimum for the poor
A welfare level of healthcare for everyone
But nobody is forced to buy anything
There are some common variations
Government usually only pays the minimum for the poor
Some governments will pay a percentage of your insurance
There should be an absolute limit on how much the government pays
Some systems have your employer pay part of your insurance
Your employer should not pay part of your insurance
You should receive that money as a wage and then the money goes from you
This gives you better labor flexibility
In non-government universal systems there should be purchasing unions
These are umbrella corporations to help you get the best insurance deals
Some welfare versions only pay a minimum insurance for those below a poverty line
Some things are poverty for the middle incomes
There is where you start and where the costs will leave you
This gives a general outline of the continuum
Not only for the budget but also for the public body healthcare institution
The best system provides good general healthcare for everyone
I prefer a national health service
Births and medicines and operations and palliative care are all free.
Run by boards of experts and with various representation on the boards.
All within a budget.
This provides healthcare for everyone.
Sick people don’t have to stay sick.
We can pay for them to get healthcare.
We give free glasses. The blind to see.
We give free hearing aides. The deaf to hear.
We give free hip replacements. The lame to walk.
We give free medicines. The sick to be made well.
We give free surgical procedures. The sick to made whole again.
Paid for by the community for the community.
That we may more easily care for each other.
Whether we pay a budget for the poor
Or have a universal system or a national health service
We can provide healthcare
We give free operations and free medicines.
Whatever we can afford within our budget.
The most good for the most number of people.
We can give everyone a basic level of education
We can provide 12 years of education to our children and youth
That they may have a basic minimum level of opportunity
And for those above this age we can have a reduced core of the same
That the basic subjects be provided for everyone for minimum opportunities for all
Free classes in the community evenings and days free for all
For the core subjects and for basic literacies
I believe everyone needs the opportunity to gain basic literacy
In community languages, in reading and writing,
And in literacy and in computers and in finance
That people be better able to take care of themselves and their families
That they need not fear and need not suffer for lack of these very basic abilities
I believe in training in the community
We can have job training for common skills and common opportunities
And for local opportunities that do arise from time to time
So that you are prepared and supported
That people do not lack the range of basic common skills
That do add to their freedom and to their ability to get jobs
That they may have a broader set of job opportunities
We can recognize informal learning
We will start with review of proposals with the systems in Ireland and Norway.
I believe in cheap loans
For college and for university
So you can train and re-train
We will try to get formal qualifications from years one and two of degrees.
This can help people make use of these levels of education.
This could help competition in some parts of some industries.
Students are afforded all their dignity and rights
They have their human rights and cannot be denied
I believe with education and job training opportunities
That the unemployed will find opportunities to help them find labors
I believe our unemployment officers can make good efforts
To find all the local job vacancies so people can easier know about them
K-12 education, core education, literacy, and job training
These things provide everyone with better job opportunities
They help progress our goal of freedom and equality for all
These opportunities will continue in the community.
Everyone will always be able to take these classes.
I believe this gains a minimum level of opportunity for everyone
I believe we can help improve the job prospects of millions of people
I believe that with better education we can have better jobs
And that with better jobs we can have a better economy
Education helps uphold our freedom and our liberty
Education helps progress our freedom and our liberty
Education helps uphold our politics and our economy
Education helps progress our politics and our economy
Education helps freedom and opportunities spread
Education helps our economy provide equal wealth to everyone
Education helps keep our Republic healthy
Without education our Republic falters
Without education our Republic falls
I believe in good conditions for labor
I believe in representation on boards of enterprises
According to how we rely upon the enterprise
And according to how we are affected by the enterprise
Such as workers, management, customers, and the community
Management are one of the trades
Some capital brings ownership rights
Pay should bring some ownership rights
Social organization and education create jobs
We cooperate together in producing wealth
We should act in the equality of what we have produced
Having mixed in one thing the combinations of our labors.
And finding association of labor we do offer ourselves protection
For when others of us do request or require that we do leave our labor
Our dismissal requires 1 day notice or 1 day pay, for every 8 days worked.
This goes to the maximum required notice or pay which is 30 days.
Generally this usually means if we work a year, we have to give us a month's notice
I believe in a minimum wage
This blesses your family
I believe in a sufficient wage
Your family of four can afford to live comfortably
On one single wage
We do hold for our labors some respite and vacation
And we do hold some relief for sickness
Each year we all of us,
Both those in part time jobs, and those in full time jobs
Should get four weeks paid vacation
And one week paid sick leave
And six months maternity leave for each couple.
And this at decreased pay
The maternity leave can be shared between both parents.
Maternity leave is funded by the government.
Shareable as and when by whosoever the couple so designates
Government accepts from all persons
Any registrations of the use of the individual's rights of marriage.
Of any sex combination and any number of persons.
One person's pension can be shared among however many.
There is the usual limit on marriage partners who can be granted citizenship per person per time unit.
People can say to whom they are married
People can say who may and may not adopt their children
And all agencies can respect the decisions of the parents
A person is divorced when they say they are divorced.
Government can provide free good meeting places and good counsel.
Government accepts from all persons
Any registrations of the use of the individual's rights of family.
People may define their own family relations
A mother has the rights of who may attend the birth and what they may do.
The child can never be taken from the mother without consent
Where government doesn't already pay for birth,
From general taxation I pay for basic hospital birth costs.
Deaths may be buried or cremated anywhere within health and safety guidelines.
Births, deaths and marriages are the proper domain of each individual’s rights
Everyone has equal rights and in equal language
Each individual can use their own individual rights as they decide
Government can register any individual’s use of that individual’s rights
The definition of religious marriage is for each religion and person to decide for themselves
The private space belongs rightly to the individual or individuals and not to the government neither to its agents.
There shall be minimal census.
Number of persons per polity. Income per polity.
Data ranges on age and sex and income and location,
Any remainder is optional.
The optional questions can help the government to help the poor.
Each individual has personal access and control over that individual's data.
Your data belongs to you.
Your healthcare, library, twitter, facebook data, everything.
The public space belongs rightly to the public and not to the government neither to its agents.
People may assemble freely.
They may engage in activities together or in few numbers or alone.
They may shop, play, speak, demonstrate, hold meetings,
Petition, form labor unions, and other activities
They will be respectful and peaceable
We don't arrest people who are not loitering.
Free assembly does not constitute loitering neither can it be treated as such by the police.
I believe in healthy eating
And in healthy exercise
And in healthy environment
In your community healthy calories will be as cheap as candy calories
You can afford to buy fresh fruit and vegetables for your families
I shall make subsidy payments to farm and factory to pay for this
You have the right to roam sensibly across tracts of lands.
National Parks will be free of charge to enter into them and to camp there.
The costs of this will be subsumed into general taxes
I shall give payments to farmers for costs of riparian boundaries
And hedgerows and lakes and ponds.
We do this to help promote habitats and species.
In law and order I believe in friendly police
We do not expect to use violence against people except when needed
I expect good voices and good actions from the police
I expect good use of discretion
I expect patience and forbearance
I expect it to be hard to get arrested
I expect minimal use of force in arrest and detention of people.
We have minimal laws and minimal crimes.
We have not overmuch punishment.
We have trials be not overlong neither under-funded.
We prefer smaller crimes and misdemeanors have no prison.
They stay with their jobs and their families and this is better for their communities
And juveniles are always subject only to the juvenile court system
Prisons should be reformed.
Respect prisoners' dignity and humanity and we will keep ours.
Build society in prisons and they will be ready for society outside prisons.
We take no right over any prisoner except for two things.
To detain them and to transport them. And reasonably and proportionally.
We hold no other right over them. They keep their other rights.
I believe in a small military.
Sufficient to request and operate the military machines and infrastructure
That will need repeating in a war economy.
I believe in a simple taxation system
Government spends a portion of GDP
And can tax incomes at an equation that gets this money
Progressive taxes are common
That’s because the rich can afford to pay more
You aren’t taxed until you reach the tax payment line
The tax payment line allows for basic housing
And basic living expenses for dependants
Disabled persons get higher allowances for housing and living expenses
As far as they need these to provide the same basic living standards
The same for other persons who need extra money for them
Welfare payments are simple
There is a welfare payment line
Its theory is like the tax payment line
Everyone gains a minimum standard of living
Payments should be direct payments
Some welfare systems have several sections
For example, housing, food, child support, and others
You can have this form of system if you like
And some of the welfare can be universal if you like
Taxes will reflect this
Each household will have the same result as a minimum income
Universality means changes to welfare affect every income level
Some believe welfare for the poor often becomes poor welfare
This needn’t be the result of non-universal welfare payments
And in any case you can choose the system you prefer
There can be business tax if you like
The business tax can be a flat tax
This will be reflected in prices
Business can be a helpful place to collect tax
Whether income tax or business tax or both
By this most people don’t often need to fill in a tax form
Wages and prices and taxes can be mobius in theory
At each change we must be careful they remain six and two threes
Except where the government intends differences to occur
And where equal-negotiating and fair practice causes changes
And in those cases we should help ensure the intended changes take place
And that people are rightfully and usefully informed and able to make free decisions
Otherwise the free exchange of the value created by manufacturing is harmed
And this results in biased changes to rents, mortgages, and prices
Unions done well are important and vital to the health of a free economy
And ombudsmen are useful to help study and inform about price changes
Part of the tax gives wealth transfers to the poor
A super majority agrees to a portion of this that should belong to the poor
Some of this portion can be given to the poor by wages rather than welfare
Some of this transfer can be achieved by wage differences
Some of this transfer can be exchanged by changing taxes and wages
Higher incomes would get lower taxes and lower wages
Lower incomes would get higher taxes and higher wages
Less of the economy would go via the tax system
And more of the economy would go via wages
The result would be six and two threes
Except this would create flatter taxes and a broader tax base
More of the people would own more of the wealth
This is good for the health of the Republic
And in theory can be considered a Second Amendment issue
Not everyone would get sufficient wages from this
We would continue to need welfare
As for tax deductions they can in theory be moved into wages
Government can spend to help direct money for the common good
This can be done by direct payments and by not taxing
Structures and conditions can be applied
We can end corporate welfare
We can tax deductions
We can simplify and clarify the effects the government has on the economy
Government budgets should be transparent
There should be open government
The Federal Reserve should be a public body
I believe in your future
I believe in your education
I believe in your jobs
I believe in your communities
I believe in your families
I believe in your liberty
I believe in your rights
I believe in your freedoms
I believe in big global projects
To ensure food and shelter for everyone
For the generations during today
And for the generations during tomorrow
We are a free planet for everyone
We look after our parents
We look after the poor
We look after the sick
We give everyone education
We treat prisoners humanely
We have good rights in the community
We help enterprises and labor
We care for the environment
Our future will be no less than free.
Our economy will have no less opportunity.
This is and ever has been the promise you have upheld.
We believe in liberty, Human Rights,
Free movement, free assembly, free speech,
Free markets, free trade, fair trade.
We believe in the Liberty, and all that this belief entails.
We believe in sound finance and in funding jobs and growth.
That we find ourselves more capable to our cause and more known to each other.
That we might have help to be better organized to gain the fullness of our freedom.
We are family together. United in love and in freedom.
These and more are my freedom my principles my liberty.
Freedom works.
Freedom worked in the past.
Freedom will work in the future.
And Freedom will work today.
Liberty for all and in full.
There is a conflict between those who possess more than they have earned
And those who have earned more than they possess
And at many stages in the advance of humanity,
This conflict is one of the central conditions of progress.
Practical equality of opportunity for all citizens, when we achieve it,
Will mean that everyone will have a fair chance
To make of themselves all that in them lies;
To reach the highest point to which their capacities,
Unassisted by special privilege of their own
And unhampered by the special privilege of others, can carry them,
And to get for themselves and their family substantially what that person has earned.
The absence of effective State,
And, especially, national,
Restraint upon unfair money-getting
Has tended to create a small class
Of enormously wealthy and economically powerful individuals,
Whose chief object is to hold and increase their power.
No individual should receive wealth unless that wealth has been fairly earned.
Every portion of wealth received should represent that portion’s worth of service rendered -
Not gambling in stocks, but service rendered
And as education spreads among the people
We are capable to the actions of building better houses
And can do the labors necessary
And free people will only tend to those labors that are necessary
And do not tend to give lots of hours for a few people
Save those people be unfortunate or sick or poor or disadvantaged
Therefore the selection and apportionment of labors
Does tend towards equality of the worth of hours
All the labors being necessary for a house for everyone
And thus the wages tend towards being generally equal
And this a free people choose where they have control
To direct and plan their own labors
And are not controlled and directed by elites of owners and managers
For rather the people should become the owners and managers
They should own and direct an equitable and generally equal portion
Of the economy
The individual who wrongly holds
That every human right is secondary to that individual’s profit
Must now give way to the advocate of human welfare,
Who rightly maintains that every individual holds their own individual property subject to the general right
Of the community to regulate its use to whatever degree the public welfare may require it.
The right to regulate the use of wealth in the public interest is universally admitted.
Let us admit also the right to regulate the terms and conditions of labor,
Which is the chief element of wealth,
Directly in the interest of the common good.
We keep countless individuals from the freedom they easily could have
And this is withheld from them by the conditions of life
By which our society surrounds them
When aggregated wealth
Demands what is unfair,
Its immense power can be met only by the still greater power
Of the people as a whole,
Exerted in the only way it can be exerted,
Through the Government;
Fundamentally,
Our chief problem may be summed up as
The effort to make everyone as nearly as they can be made,
Both free and equal;
The freedom and equality necessarily resting on
A basis of justice and the family of humankind.
Our whole experiment is meaningless
Unless we are to make this a democracy in the fullest sense of the word,
In the broadest as well as the highest and deepest significance of the word.
It must be made a democracy economically, as well as politically.
I pity the individual who wants a coat so cheap
That the man or woman who produces the cloth will starve in the process.
I pity the individual who wants wealth so cheap
That the general mass of the people shall not own and direct
Closer to an equitable and generally equal portion of the economy
Let us not starve ourselves of the amount and the rate
Of the progress of freedom
Which rate and amount we know we can achieve
And which we should know we should be striving for
And be striving for more earnestly
If wrinkles are found
Then let them be found upon the paperwork and the approach
Let them not be written upon the heart.
The spirit should be higher if it can go higher.
General education is the one of the best helps to our cause.
In the all the countries of the world,
The question is how to distribute most generally and equally the property of the world.
As a rule, where education is most general the distribution of property is most general
As knowledge spreads, wealth spreads.
To diffuse knowledge is to diffuse wealth.
To give all an equal chance to acquire knowledge,
Is the best and surest way to give all an equal chance to acquire property.
Abolish plutocracy if you would abolish poverty.
As millionaires increase, pauperism grows.
The more millionaires, the more paupers.
When the people have the money the people prosper
They invest it better and wiser
And do so by their free market intelligence
And by their organizations and by cooperation
The progress of society
Is mainly the improvement in the condition of the workers of the world.
The unrestricted competition so commonly advocated
Does not leave us the survival of the fittest.
The unscrupulous succeed best in accumulating wealth.
It is by free choice that we gain wealth and not by competition per se
The legitimate object of government,
Is to do for a community of people,
Whatever they need to have done,
But can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -
In their separate, and individual capacities.
In all that the people can individually do as well for themselves,
Government ought not to interfere.
Our governments and enterprises rest in public opinion.
Whoever can change public opinion,
Can change the government, practically just so much.
And the general structure of economic organization
As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master.
This expresses my idea of democracy.
Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy.
And we can apply this not only to politics but also to business.
What constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and independence
Is not our frowning battlements, our bristling sea coasts,
The guns of our war steamers, or the strength our gallant and disciplined army.
These are not our reliance against a resumption of tyranny in our fair land.
All of those may be turned against our liberties,
Without making us weaker or stronger for the struggle.
Our reliance is in the love of liberty
Which is natural within our bosoms.
Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit
Which prizes liberty as the heritage of all people, in all lands, everywhere.
Destroy this spirit, and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors.
Familiarize yourselves with the enacted chains of bondage in your politics and enterprises
And you are preparing your own limbs to wear them.
Accustomed to trample on the rights of those around you,
You have lost the genius of your own independence,
And become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises.
Familiarize yourselves with the beliefs and words of freedom
And you are preparing humankind for gaining those better freedoms
Accustomed to believe and enact these gains for everyone
And you speed the day when you can gain those better freedoms
And help ensure more strongly that we shall be able to keep the freedoms we have gained and that we shall give way only to improvements
We should not deny freedom to others
The power of hope upon human exertion, and happiness, is wonderful.
No oppressed people will fight, and endure,
Without the promise of something better than a mere change of masters.
Neither is it easy to maintain for long a movement
That does not have organizations and institutions
And does not share its belief continually
And freedom is safer and open to more promise of intellect when with brighter public sentiment
While people exist,
It is our duty to improve not only our own condition,
But to assist in ameliorating humankind;
And therefore,
Without entering upon the details of the question,
I will simply say,
That I am for those means
Which will give the greatest good to the greatest number.
We all declare for liberty;
But in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing.
With some the word liberty may mean for everyone to do as they pleases with their own self,
And the product of their own labor;
While with others, the same word may mean for some individuals to do as they please with other individuals,
And the product of other individual’s labor.
Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name - liberty.
And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties,
Called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny.
And there is often confusion among those who have taken much,
As to what is deserved to themselves
And what constitutes the result of another person’s labor
Rentier activity does take from you the wealth you create.
The strongest bond of human sympathy, outside of the family relation,
Should be one uniting all working people,
Of all nations, and societies, and languages, and communities, and neighborhoods.
It can take some years of hours to build a house and to provides its energy and food and furnishings
When we have worked these hours we expect to have these things
Sometimes where we do not have these things then the market is not entirely free
And sometimes there are not yet tools sufficient for the provision of these things for all
We can help the provision of all the numbers of all the tools that are required to all the people who need them
Sometimes there are monies much above the monies of others
These can be from increased productivity
Or they can be from scarcity
Or they can be from rentier wages
We can negotiate the use of these bigger monies
This is part of equal negotiation that is required for free markets
We can gain lower prices
Or better investment
Or agree on the distribution of resources and products
And as for scarcity prices they should only be according to fairness
Some of us have better positions for getting things done
Society need not uphold us in some of our positions if they do not prefer
And can remove their interactions and prefer others
We can accept for ourselves a duty to use our positions to help others
And we and others can work to help everyone
That eduation and opportunities and productivity shall spread to everyone
In some nations we have nationalized portions of the wealth of aristocrats
In some nations we have instituted progressive taxes and transfers of wealth
Where the people are equal they stay equal
We believe that the rich suffer less when they are asked for some more than others
Whether they are rich for rentier activities or higher productivity
In the one case the free market will disestablish their positions
In the other case we help everyone share and gain better productivity
We do progress our laws and our institutions
And do form and reform our governments and governance structures time and again into forms best suited for our liberty
We have established democracies and some nations have completed the transition
Others we continually encourage for we know well the struggle and the path
Many nations have discontinued the evils of their conquering and enslaving behaviors
Many nations are still transitioning to the levels of democracy and economics that other nations have
And none have yet achieved an entirely free economy in process and result
We believe in having an economy that is free and fair and equal and equitable for all
In all this we do think we do help ourselves gain the fullness of freedom for all
We by this are more freely able to choose that fuller liberty we expect for every individual
We the people do by our various institutions
Seek to gain the conditions that are right and fair
And to do them by peaceable and fair means at all times and at all places
They say the world has become too complex for simple answers.
They are wrong.
There are not always easy answers, but there often are simple answers.
We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right.
By our efforts we have freed each other and ourselves
By our efforts we have freed the black man.
By our efforts we have freed the white man.
By our efforts we can free the businessman.
That’s a pun for that is us
We should all be engaging in free enterprise together
Recognizing the equality of all men and women,
We are willing and able to lift the weak, cradle those who hurt,
And nurture the bonds that tie us together as humankind under liberty.
Our very unity has been strengthened by our pluralism.
We have every right to dream heroic dreams.
Those who say that we're in a time when there are no heroes,
They just don't know where to look.
Above all, we must realize
That no arsenal or no weapon in the arsenals of the world
Is so formidable as the will and moral courage
Of free people
And those yearning for more and better freedom
It does require, however,
Our best effort and our willingness to believe
In ourselves and to believe in our capacity to perform great deeds,
To believe that together with our good beliefs
We can and will resolve the problems which now confront us.
And after all, why shouldn't we believe that?
We are humankind
I hope we once again have reminded people
That humankind are not free unless the power of the elite owners and managers is limited.
And becomes decreased
Unto becoming the equitable and generally equal portion
Of ownership of and direction of the economy
Enterprises and Congresses
Enterprise means, to engage in tasks and activity.
Cooperative means, to cooperate together.
We call the enterprises, cooperatives.
Congress means to come together
Congress is a place of political governance
Done by cooperation and mutual consent
Councils.
People come together and talk.
They decide what they want to build or do.
They make plans together and they work together.
Cooperatives have councils to run them.
Managers and engineers do not run the cooperative.
The people run the cooperative.
The people vote for representatives.
The representatives are the council.
The council runs the cooperative.
Two categories of people usually need representation.
Those who rely upon the cooperative.
And those who are affected by the cooperative.
Workers should have representatives on the council.
Customers should have representatives on the council.
Community should have representatives on the council.
Management are a type of worker.
All types of workers are one electorate.
They vote for representatives on the council.
Customers are whom the cooperative builds things for.
Their opinion is important.
We must do our best to represent their opinions on the council.
Community are people nearby.
Sometimes they are miles away downstream.
But they are affected by the actions of the cooperative.
Anyone can go to the council to speak to the council.
And the cooperative actively seeks the opinions of workers and customers and community.
Everyone has a voice in directing the cooperative.
People are free to make their own cooperatives.
People are free to create new councils.
Everything is by consent and agreement.
Libraries.
Economic activity needs plans.
Plans help tell us how to do something.
We keep the plans in the economic information library.
There are three main types of library.
Two of the libraries are for maps.
One of the libraries is for plans.
There are two main types of map.
Each type of map has its own library.
There is a physical map, and an abstract map.
The physical map lists factories and mines.
It lists discovered resources not yet being mined.
It lists the arable land and the land being used for fields.
The physical map lists all these things.
It lists the location of each type of resource.
It lists the location, the type, and the volume.
The physical map gives a list of starting resources.
This is the resource base from which we start.
We connect these resources together to make other resources.
We start with our existing resources.
We mix the resources together.
This creates new resources.
Resources must be mixed in given proportions.
Clay and limestone produce cement.
Bricks and cement produce walls.
We create a diagram of our resources.
We start with primary resources.
Things like, clay, limestone, coal, and ores.
Clay and limestone produce cement.
We draw cement on the diagram.
We draw lines to connect clay and limestone to cement.
Each resource is a node.
Clay is a node. Limestone is a node.
Cement is a node.
We create a collection of documents for each node.
These documents tells us how to make that node.
These documents help us build things.
The diagram becomes very big.
It is a giant map.
The map is an abstract map of the economy.
Energy is a node.
Coal, oil, and solar are sources of energy.
Energy is needed for almost every other node.
Clay and limestone are baked to produce cement.
This requires a known proportion of energy.
Usually we use coal for this.
A physical map is one type of library.
An abstract diagram is one type of library.
Plans are another type of library.
Plans and goals.
The diagram shows what we can make.
Each thing we can make should have plans.
These plans help people to make each thing.
We have goals.
On the diagram we select a nice house.
We consult the diagram for how to build this house.
Highlight the house.
It requires walls and doors and windows and other things.
Highlight each of these things.
Each of these things is made from other things.
Highlight these further other things.
You are creating a network of requirements.
We continue this network of requirements.
Eventually we arrive at primary resources.
We figure what proportions of these are needed.
This tells us the ingredients needed to build a house.
It tells us the network path to create a house.
The documents of the nodes tell us how to build a house.
There are plans for everything we know how to make.
We use these plans to accomplish our goals.
The plans and the goals are kept in a library.
The house has a network of required nodes.
We source these to the physical economy.
We use the physical map to help us.
Usually the nodes are already created.
We go to the factories and collect the things we need.
Sometimes we must create new factories or more production capacity.
The new factories have councils.
Some factories are very big.
They can have several councils if people wish.
To create new factories we talk to each other.
We create plans together.
We use the library of plans as a guide.
Each factory is an instance of a general plan.
It will have to fit itself to its local conditions.
The library can have lots of types of plan for each type of factory.
Enterprise Centers
The library is generally kept in the Enterprise Center.
Each Enterprise Center has a copy of the library.
People can consult the library at the Enterprise Center.
The economy is created by connecting the resources.
The library helps people find resources.
The library helps people to connect the resources.
The Enterprise Center also has a body of experts.
These experts help people to find and connect resources.
These experts help people to form cooperatives.
The Enterprise Center helps cooperatives and individuals.
The Enterprise Center helps all economic activities.
Exploration, production, training, libraries, expertise.
Most of these activities can be called cooperatives.
The library could be thought of as a type of cooperative.
Training people can be thought of as cooperatives.
Some cooperatives are very general.
Some general cooperatives are very big.
The Enterprise Center is a very special type of cooperative.
Enterprise Centers help people organize.
Enterprise Centers help people build things.
Enterprise Centers help the freedom of the people.
Training.
Anyone can select a node on the diagram.
The Enterprise Center can tell them how to build it.
That person then learns the knowledge needed.
Segments of knowledge are also nodes.
They fit into the abstract diagram of how to make things.
Each segment of knowledge relies upon other segments of knowledge.
Experience and tests tell us how long it takes to learn each segment.
This tells us how long it takes to reach any given knowledge node.
How long it takes depends on which nodes a person already knows.
Most jobs don't require more than a few weeks or months training.
This means that most people can do most jobs if they want to.
But some jobs require more knowledge than this.
A general university education helps people do more jobs.
It prepares them to learn knowledge segments faster and easier.
A general education is part of a university education.
A person should also gain a specific expertise in some things.
Some knowledge segments take very much study to learn.
They can take years and are very necessary for the economy.
A university education has two parts: general and specific.
General education helps people do most any job they desire.
Specific education helps people learn some of the very difficult nodes.
Most factories require very detailed science.
Usually only a few people need to learn all of this.
The other skills are usually much easier to learn.
Each knowledge segment can be explained with many media.
Text, diagrams, illustrations, animations, and videos.
This helps people to have a better chance of learning.
Each knowledge segment can be explained at many levels of detail.
Some people need to know a lot about something.
Some people only need to know a little about something.
Each knowledge segment can be explained at many levels of knowledge.
Some people need very detailed explanations.
Some people need only general explanations.
Each knowledge segment can be explained in many ways.
One person's explanation might be difficult to some and easy to others.
Another person's explanation might be easy to some and difficult to others.
Each knowledge segment often contains parts of other knowledge segments.
Knowledge flows naturally into other knowledge.
We draw the boundaries to fit the task we want to accomplish.
Goals and people.
The people have goals.
They want a nice town and a nice house.
They want nice farms and nice machines.
There are limits to our time and our efforts.
There are limits to our resources and our energy.
There are limits to our knowledge and our capability.
Within these limits we decide on nice goals.
We plan nice houses and nice towns.
We plan nice farms and nice machines.
We map all of these using the abstract diagram.
This creates an abstract plan.
We then match this plan to the physical map.
We find the resources we already have.
We find how much we have not built.
We make plans to build the difference.
We build new towns and upgrade existing towns.
We build new machines and upgrade existing machines.
We create new plans and upgrade existing plans.
We examine our methods and our actions.
We improve them and update them.
We use better seeds and better tools and better procedures.
We count the resources necessary.
The cubic volumes of each type of resource.
We find them on the physical map.
We count the knowledge necessary.
The per capita jobs and knowledge we need.
We find what skills we have and organize training for what we lack.
This creates a community national plan.
We create this plan at our Enterprise Centers.
And by talking to each other at our cooperatives.
We know if we fulfil the plan then we gain the results.
Everyone is doing something that is necessary to the plan.
This means our wages should be generally equal.
Some jobs are disliked. Some are difficult.
We can share these labors.
These labors can have higher wages.
At factories some jobs are boring.
Each person can learn many skills.
And we can change jobs sometimes as we agree.
Over time we can learn more things.
Over time we can increase our skills.
This helps improve our minds.
We decide the factory locations for best efficiency.
We are efficient in the use of resources and energy.
The same for connecting factories together.
Over time we can complete our plans.
We all do some of the necessary labors.
We build for ourselves the type of life we desire.
We want nice towns and nice houses.
Nice parks and trees and flowers in the streets.
We want nice products and nice entertainment.
We provide these things for everyone.
We talk together we plan together we work together.
We organize by free choice and everyone owns and directs the economy.
People need organization to own and direct the economy.
Government is one of the structures of organization of the people.
Government can help people to build the other structures.
The people have several types of organization structure.
Government helps people start the other organization structures
Government helps people to own and direct the economy.
The cooperative structures are one of these.
They are very important.
People need help to organize and to create things.
Government usually is needed to help the people organize.
The wealth people create by their labor belongs to the people.
The ownership of the economy becomes more equal over time.
The nations are decreasing the power of their oligarchies.
The ownership structures of the nations are improving over time.
They will eventually have better equality of wages.
They will eventually have better equality of ownership.
We do things by individual free choice.
We do things without harming each other.
The economy has cooperative structures for economics.
It has political structures for politics.
The voice of each person is heard.
Each person directs the economy.
Each person directs the politics.
People have economic representatives.
People have political representatives.
The two types of representative are different.
The economic representatives help direct the economy.
The political representatives help direct the political government.
A person who is both must declare their interests to the political government.
Economics is very common to all of human history.
In every age the basic principles are the same.
The question is who owns the economy.
The question is how free are people to do things?
The question is who directs the economy.
This economy is not utopia
It is good ownership and free direction of the economy.
It is the best freedom we can get for the people.
This might seem a small change in economics
It changes, or can change, nearly everything
The power of the people becomes held by the people
The people own and direct a generally equitable and equal portion of the economy
We decided the people shall rule in things politics and called this democracy
We must have the same for economics - this is a vast and vital part of human freedom
This gives a better quality of freedom
We can compare the freedoms of the cooperatives
To the freedoms of the usual businesses
All who have ideas can present their ideas
You can be confident the enterprises and centers can help
People can decide to go along with your idea
This is like being employed by a big company
They have the resources to engage with your idea
They can help plan out your idea
They can help improve upon your idea
People together have ideas and progress the ideas
When ready enough they can enact those ideas
This is what usual businesses are supposed to be about
This is better and stronger than many of the usual businesses
If you want a job you can ask for one
People can help find work you can do
This is like a big business
But it is more social
We can actively try and find work for each other
We help each other do useful things with the time we have
This is what usual businesses are supposed to help
This is done better and stronger than many of the usual businesses
These enterprises will be directed by free choices
By your free individual choices you decide how to use things.
By your decisions about how to use capital
By your free choices of free assembly of persons
You decide what to do and what to plan and what to build.
This is better than many of the usual businesses
Usual businesses should ideally be free choices
And there will be councils or boards
The board shall be comprised of representatives
From those who rely upon the enterprise
And by those who are affected by the enterprise.
And by others as found suitable and as decided upon
This can be flat ranks and files by job type and organizational positions
And anyone can approach the board and be heard
Everyone gets representation
As far as they rely upon are affected by the enterprise
Workers rely upon the enterprise
Others in the community are sometimes affected by the enterprise
This is better than usual businesses
Theoretically business should listen to those who rely upon it
And those who are affected by it
Management are a trade
Management are workers
Management become similar to civil staff in government
They help implement the choices of the people
This is theoretically the existing situation in usual businesses
In this they are like other workers
Owners and managers and others should not get rentier wages
Wages should tend towards equality
A scientist and a manager both spend years in study
Both deal in complex things
And both have worked the same hours as other workers
And those others could have had those positions
But not all people can do the same things
For there are various labors necessary
And only so much time and opportunity society can provide
Free people tend towards only necessary labors
And by exchange this gives generally equal wages
We refuse to accept that people shall get rentier wages
With education and social organization
We expect everyone to have the same good access to all good things
Boards of councils are the governing structure of usual business
This puts it on a par with regular existing business.
This helps give you confidence that it can work.
Management is a role and position and activity
The concerns of this position should be represented on the board
You could elect anyone you think sensible whoever they are.
And they can fulfil the role for voicing care for those concerns.
Sensible business decisions will still be necessary.
Money will keep management and board activities functional within some boundaries.
True those boundaries tend to be quite elastic in most economies.
But we can rely solidly upon the board and its behavior.
This means that to some extent prices will be in charge
And this should mean that individual choices are in charge
Free markets expect the general equality of everyone in wages
Of everyone having an equitable and equal portion of the economy
Both in owning and in directing the economy
Prices should be another position of individual choices
The general body of capital and choices can be amorphous
Where to draw lines between enterprises can be uncertain
There can be equations and conditions for councils
Their creation and their representation and their powers
And the councils can ebb and flow in power and numbers
According to the free decisions of the people
The ownership of enterprises should be carefully considered
We can own the enterprises by prices and wages and free choices
And by representation and democratic industry and similar
It is expected that the workers shall own the enterprises
Private enterprises are possible, and are acceptable
Family farms and small workshops might be common private enterprises
They are not so dissimilar from all labor activities
Some capital gets returns some ownership of the enterprise
Labor should also have returns and ownership of the enterprise
When we create enterprise we own or organize some capital
As we input to the enterprise so we gain some returns and some ownership
This varies somewhat based on the nature of our input
Generally no-one will receive returns higher than banking conditions
This is generally the rate of double your money over 20 to 30 years
Small short-term loans can be given on the same rate
This can be insured by averages of this market’s usual behaviors
Shares that give returns could be shares of loans
And could be just like getting a loan from the bank
For the general bodies of big industries it is the same
Our labor is a portion of the total wealth of the system
As our input increases so does our ownership
Ownership shares could depreciate over time
Over time we expect the workers shall own the economy
Otherwise a few owners could direct the economy
And all human life and liberty would tessellate around them
In short it would be Feudalism or some decreased or far-decreased form or similar
To damn this evil we have our belief in free market economics
Whereby we expect to gain for ourselves the economy
That we humankind may be found full free in all liberty we can understand
And balance our liberties sensibly
Since before the dawn of written human history
We have tried to have free economies
Our efforts are written in our blood and our texts
And in our uprisings and our miseries and our suffering
Here in these generations alive today
We have the power to gain a better liberty for our economy
It is possible to have no shareholding ownership of an enterprise
And to run it via representatives and free choice
And by allowing all to speak freely to all others
Both as to preferences and ideas about the use of capital
And as to being heard by various boards and managers and workers
We should constantly and continually
Think of what is best and better for organization
And activities and structures and procedures and protocols and cooperation
That we may easier and sooner and faster and constantly progress
When we count up a house
We know the volumes of each type of resource it needs
And all the activities that we need to build the house
We count out the number of houses that provides for everyone
We count out the hours that do this
We share out the hours
We each do necessary hours of necessary labor
We exchange an hour for an hour
We provide houses for each other
And if we labor eight years in manual work
Or if we labor four years studying and four years planning
We have done the same number of hours
And all the hours we all labor are necessary
This moves the economy toward general equality of wages
Exchanges spread the wealth generally equally through the society
The less competitive forms change by free choices
And so people are not far less than generally equal in wages
More than 80 percent of the world are yet to industrialize
Industrialization can be shared by all the people
Industrialization doesn’t have to impoverish people
We can become equal in our ownership and wages
We can do this at the start of our industrialization
We must not wait until after we have industrialized
Otherwise it will be more difficult to get this freedom after we industrialize
This freedom is a vital part of our Republic
In our slums and in our subsistence farms
We need to transition to better productivity
And gain better organization
And without becoming miserable
And without a few ending up controlling and owning very much
We can do this together
We can plan for our better futures
We can gain better futures by our organizations and institutions
Money is a record or account of wealth
We write down the wealth we have
We can compare things as ratios
And this gives us a number line
We can compare things with numbers
We can refer to wealth that already exists
We can apply a number to our houses
We can apply a number to our machines
We can refer to wealth that will exist
Someone might borrow some machines
We know they can use these to create things
These things can be measured with numbers
Sensible plans have an average success rate
This gives an often-predictable amount of future wealth
The prediction works best from a large enough body of loans
We can record or account for this future wealth
Banks help keep these records or accounts
Sometimes we don’t use banks for this
Factories can lend machines directly to other factories
Those factories produce things
These produced things can pay for the machines
Or can pay for borrowing the machines
The cost of use of equipment can be by conditioned
Upon the costs and depreciation it puts upon the equipment
And whether there are others who wish to use the equipment
And the better prices and better use of the equipment
This can be based on free choices and management and offered prices
It can vary just like internal use and external use by usual businesses
Prices should generally be based upon costs and preferences and plans
By labor we create new wealth
And keep existing wealth as valuable
And this is also a form of new wealth
This wealth can be recorded or accounted for by money
The value of what we produce is money
Some uses of labor are not valuable
Labor can be wasteful or less productive
Accidents and erosion can decrease our wealth
When something gets broken it is less valuable
Give yourselves plans
And you shall give yourselves hundreds of trillions of dollars
Hire yourselves experts
And you shall give yourselves plans
This is wealth
We can progress the implementation of our plans
And as the probability and certainty of the new wealth increases
The wealth can become established as more probably existent
As this occurs we can more securely swap produced things
This blesses us
We should create lots of plans
And start implementing them
We must be careful what we consider reliable
We can rely upon plans
And rely on their completion as the time gets nearer
We can plan where the account comes from
And can insure and make real the future we wish to build
We must be careful on what we give loans to.
We must not fund things that don't increase production.
Or we will waste the wealth that is intended to deliver us
We must be wise and careful
Perhaps some things we build can be done better.
Perhaps we need to build some things in bigger numbers.
Perhaps we need to build things we don't build.
We can fund all of these as far as is sensible.
And we can own and direct this together.
Most of the funding for the cooperative will come from us.
We represent our wealth by forming a bank.
Then the cooperative gets a loan from the bank.
And we get interest from the bank. Just like normal.
And we have the benefit of the cooperative.
It can help us engage in building things.
Returns on investments should relate to outcomes
These can be related to each other to give national system of insurance
And we could all have one interest rate
We can relate repayments to the profits of the enterprise over twenty years.
So that the loan is repaid over that time and we get that money.
We can pay it to ourselves as a rate of return.
We can review the structure of our bank.
We make a bank from our wealth. Just like existing banks.
The bank makes loans. Just like existing banks.
We can review the structure of our cooperative.
We have a board of trust. Just like a business.
We have funding from a bank. Just like a business.
The cooperative hires some experts. Just like a business.
These experts make plans so people can build things.
This is just like a business.
The experts help people organize and build things.
This is just like a business.
There are other variations of how to run a cooperative.
But this one is fairly sensible
And is fairly similar to existing business
And contains within it more freedom than usual business
Freedom to speak and to assemble together
Freedom to direct the economy together
There might be improvements that can be made
Perhaps improve the free market within the cooperative
And think about how it fits as a network of cooperatives
And how big can it become and where are the limits of freedom?
Will it naturally form itself into a general network of cooperatives?
How distinct from each other will they be? And how important is that?
But the general form is solid and contains freedom.
It can help us bless each other.
This form of cooperative is one form of free enterprise.
There are various types of free enterprise.
And they can all coexist in a free market.
By believing in each other
And by sensible plans and cooperation
We can build a better world together
We can have the better future we dream of.
And we can build it together.
It is the freedom of humankind
To be able to freely direct the economy
For our own self and for each other
Congress.
An example of political governance
A general and implementable idea
A guide to the good health of political freedom
A local congress has a clear and obvious structure
This helps orientate and motivate people
This can help accountability and progress
Each 500 000 people can form a Congress.
This is the District Congress.
Each District Congress has 100 Wards.
The nation can form a National Congress.
Elections can be proportional representation.
Elections can be alternative voting.
Senators conduct politics by forming committees
Any Senators can form a committee.
They can talk about anything.
Committees usually discuss proposals and existing laws
Each committee starts with no powers
Any committee can ask for powers from the Congress
Executive power is with the vote of the Congress.
A vote by Congress can decide to allow a committee to have powers
Such committees often have rules for membership
Each Congress can have a Civil Service.
The Civil Staff are engineers and policy experts.
They are experts at maths and industry and organization and planning.
The Civil Staff help give advice to the politicians.
The Civil Staff help plan and enact the ideas of the politicians.
The Civil Staff provide arguments for and against each idea.
The Civil Staff offer ideas and alternatives.
They formulate plans and debate ideas.
The Civil Staff are there to help the people.
Each Congress has Civic Staff
For the District Congress these help clean and maintain streets and parks.
They collect the waste and run the civic services.
The National Congress can be led by the Senators.
Or it can be led by the Presidents.
Or it can be led by the Senators and the President.
It is possible to have Prime Ministers instead of Presidents.
And then to elect a President over the Prime Ministers.
There are various options for the structure of each Congress.
Some more notes about the proposed bodies and changes.
The library does some important tasks.
These tasks are already being done by our existing economy.
We can improve the existing structures.
Enterprise Centers are like a very special cooperative for helping economic freedom.
They help people engage in the actions people want to do.
They help each individual to gain and build things the individual wants.
Enterprise Centers can take a central role in taking care of the vital core of the economy.
They make sure it is well connected and well maintained and well built.
Doing this usually requires the consent and cooperation of many cooperatives.
It is also possible to create a special committee or cooperative to do this.
Then that committee becomes one of the central helpers in caring for the core.
There are several options for ensuring the health of the economy.
A District Congress is a useful place to put a Civil Staff.
The Congress provides the voice of the people to direct their efforts.
The Congress combined with the Civil Staff are like a very special cooperative for civic tasks.
The Congress is like a very special cooperative for political governance.
It takes time to review and to discuss the laws.
It takes time to consult with experts and to create, change, and repeal the laws and regulations.
The size of the population of a District Congress can be less than 500 000
This can be done to create 100 Districts to form the National Congress
This gives the same number of Senators for both Congresses
The Congress is also there to help ensure the people are happy.
They find out if people are happy.
They visit with people and listen to their concerns and their problems.
The Senators are there to try and solve problems.
And to engage in noble activities for the community.
And to ensure good laws good order and general freedom and happiness.
The Civil Service can have its own committees.
Departments are special committees, or collections of committees.
Some Civil Service committees are part of several departments.
This talk of councils and committees should all sound familiar.
This is how things are already done.
And some changes and updates and improvements to systemizations are being suggested.
Improvement at the enterprise level is good and useful.
Not only do the parts need continual improvement.
But the system as a whole needs renewal and improvement.
Not only do we tend one part and then another part.
But sometimes we tend the entire thing at a general level.
Not too much and not too often.
But as much as is needed and helpful.
And as often as is needed and helpful.
Progress forms its own natural body.
But this body is created as a reflection of our good decisions.
Our good decisions are made by our use of our good intelligence
The body of progress is made from good intelligence.
But this is less organized, connected, and direct than we can be.
From time to time we should be more direct.
Things always progress naturally.
But sometimes it is good to have a special project.
This helps systematize the progress.
Systemization gains us important advances.
We probably haven't updated the library enough.
And we can think about our cooperatives and our government.
A library of maps of physical resources.
A library of abstract diagrams of economic production relations
A library of plans for building and doing everything, each thing in all its variety.
A network of Enterprise Centers.
Each with a library.
And each with a body of experts.
A review to discuss the Congress structure.
It is similar and different from existing political structure.
It might be sufficient improvement to attempt but people will have to decide.
The economy is a blessing of social organization.
We can help increase this blessing.
We can gather together in social organization that is fit for this.
That we all be blessed together.
As one family humankind.
We do stand.
Together.
In love.
Enterprise centers represent economic hope.
They are like a library and a public lounge
And a help desk and a community meeting
The people who help there are co-equal to all other people
I go there to tell them my dreams.
I dream of you.
You, humankind

We are the free flow
Of free people
In free economy.
We talk we discuss we consult.
We plan together we build together.
We are one family humankind
And we are free together.
I ask how is this possible?
They tell me there are resources by volumes and locations and types
They tell me there are knowledge segments
They tell me these are nodes
They tell me the nodes do network together to produce the economy
They tell me the nodes do mix in ratios to produce other nodes
They tell me the resulting total of nodes do then mix again in ratios to produce other nodes
They tell me they know what nodes to mix and in what ratios
They tell me this produces a map of how to build the economy
They tell me to select a type house to build
And I do
I select what type of house I want
I select the things I want in my house.
I select what I want for my house
They tell me what things are required to build this
I am helped and I am blessed
I believe this facilitates development of all levels of all economies.
They tell me you have together sourced and built the nodes you need
They tell me you have upgraded your living conditions
They tell me you have built new capacity and new enterprises
They tell me you have counted cubic kilometres on an abstract map
They tell me this tells you the network path for development

They tell me it is a map of nodes that physically exist
A map of amounts of capacities and amounts of natural resources
They tell me you have mapped the abstract map to the physical map
They tell me you have planned the paths that are shortest

Because we choose each other.
The economy is a blessing of social organization.
We have increased the blessing together.
We have increased it for each other.
We gathered together in social organization.
Everyone is free
Everyone is blessed.
As one family humankind.
We do stand.
Together.
In love.
We believe in the brighter promise that is China.
This promise is ours as we build together for everyone.
I am constantly amazed and humbled
By the extraordinary efforts and achievements of humankind.
The human capacity to do good.
Our capacity to get along together.
Our capacity to build together.
Our capacity for a better world together.
This natural clean good beautiful expression of the human soul.
We believe in the wonderful new cities and towns and villages.
We believe in our wonderful old cities and towns and villages.
We believe in the wonderful upgrades to our existing cities and towns and villages.
We believe in the wonderful new transportation and communication infrastructures.
We believe in our new factories and our local community enterprises.
We believe in our machines and our tools and our efforts together.
I am constantly amazed and humbled
By the extraordinary efforts and achievements of humankind.
Our capacity for good.
I have so much joy
At our rise up in our living standards and our progress.
It brings such tears to my eyes
To hear and read of how many of our poor are rising out of poverty.
I can take joy in your success.
And I do.
I so very do.
My heart reaches out to people in their fields and villages and towns and cities.
And I know the liberty they desire.
I know the liberty we here in China have been building.
The statistics alone bring awesome love to our hearts.
The statistics alone are awesome.
They are enough to bring me to tears.
Some say that statistics are dry and boring.
But I find in them our fulsome good nature.
And it’s humbling. It is awesome.
So much good is found.
We have been excellent to one another.
And we continue to be excellent to one another.
The love we show for each other is awesome.
We constantly find new volumes of resources to bless us
We constantly are planning new towns and new cities and upgrades
We are sensible in how big we build our cities and how many we build
We are taking new factories to where people don't have the jobs
And to where people don’t have the factories and the opportunities.
We are creating new houses and factories and storage
And the capacities and abilities to upgrade our existing living conditions.
We are helping each other as we bring resources to where we are
And build together the brighter future we all desire to build together
We are building computers for every home and electricity for everyone
We are building good public transport for everyone.
We are replicating all types of factories all over China,
And coordinating them into clusters and connecting them with infrastructure,
So that local economies can have varieties of skills and technologies,
Giving the variety that helps us to progress our economy together,
And that keeps infrastructure easier and faster and healthier.
Our skills and our society of production,
Are being extended to all of China.
We believe our economy is for everyone.
We have freedom of movement
Free movement helps us travel to new jobs and to new factories
Free movement helps us transport resources and products
Free movement helps labor settle itself upon the jobs that exist.
Free movement helps people visit their families,
And visit the natural beauty of China.
It is good for our hearts and our souls.
It expands our mind and adds to our joy.
The blessings of freedom of movement help us keep entirely in pace,
With our economic and spiritual capabilities.
We have freedom of speech
The blessings of free movement help us to talk to each other,
And communicate and build our economy closer to our homes.
We do as others have done before us.
We remind ourselves of good things just as others have done before us.
We remind ourselves that we speak things others have spoken previously.
Just like those who spoke previously reminded us that they speak things that were spoken previously.
We comment upon the things that others have spoken previously.
We consider the various opinions
And entertain many thoughts
That we may help improve our progress
Sometimes we offer our own opinions
As we do this we are helping support our institutions.
It is good for varieties of opinions to be considered.
We desire to consider facts and opinions and what people desire.
We do this as good practice
We do this to continue old sensible practices
We help each other to make good and better decisions
We discuss and we counsel with each other and we talk.
With our varied opinions we try to help each other
With our varied thoughts we help each other to contemplate
We help each other to expand our minds
We help each other to improve our plans
We help each other to improve our efforts
We build a better future for the next generation
We live in the better future previous generations built for us
Each generation builds a better future for the next generation
Each generation dreams and each generation hopes
We communicate the dreams to them and we share our beliefs.
We believe and we hope
We continue our efforts
We continue to build a better world
Not that only a few can be free
But that freedom can be had for all by all people.
The Republic of Earth is built upon so strong a foundation
As our belief our freedom our desire
And upon the efforts of humankind.
We must continue to update and upgrade the economy.
And the living conditions of the people.
We constantly provide orderly development
Of the infrastructure of the economy.
We expect the fullness of the economy for everyone.
We know that together with due care and consideration we can achieve it.
We are humankind. We are one family.
We believe in the greatness of the principles which humankind believes.
We believe that if we uphold our principles then will we get our freedoms.
We are a free people freely choosing to freely make a free society with freedom and liberty for all.
We have high hopes for the equality of living standards that we wish to build.
And for the growing levels of democracy that are growing among us.
Both in our political organizations and in our economic organizations.
We here in China believe in electing the lower politicians and other elected offices
We believe that those elected will gain and create institutional experience
We believe that each election that higher levels of office can be directly elected by the people
We believe that this provides a sensible growth of our democracy
We believe that already the higher offices can be directly elected
By those who are directly around each elected office
We believe this helps create institutional structure sooner
We believe this benefits everyone together as we grow our democracy
We believe that the elections will join together
We believe eventually most of the elected offices will be directly elected by the people
Some offices are internal positions and will remain elected by those around that elected office
We believe those offices that will become publicly elected can expand their electorate
We believe more people around the office can vote on the office
We believe in the orderly growth of freedom and democracy
We believe in developing our institutions
And for our nationalized industries and enterprises
We can hope for boards whereon
The people are represented
According to how they rely upon the enterprise
And according to how they are affected by the enterprise
The same as we can expect for all our enterprises
We believe in the development of the infrastructure of the economy
We believe in the growth of democracy within and between our economic structures.
We facilitate each other's labor and access to capacities and resources
And machines and tools and knowledge.
We believe in free use of our labor
To create those bigger structures upon which we rely
And believe that we together do direct them.
We do organize together by free assembly
As various structures of organization
Together as government and as enterprises
We build together by free choice
We believe government must take the forms that give the most benefit for the people
We believe we created our Republic for this wise purpose
We have inculcated within our breast the power of freedom and the desire
To share along with all humanity the emancipation
Which comes from a free people
Freely choosing to freely make a free society.
You recommend this future.
I recommend this future.
We recommend this future.
We stand together to remind ourselves of our destiny
And to engage in our destiny.
A free people. Chasers of the dream. And providers of the reality.
We expect a free economy for everyone.
This is our dream. That everyone may have these gains.
We believe hope and destiny and opportunities are available to everyone.
We believe in personal freedom, civil liberty, good finance, and healthy economy.
We believe these things are worth our efforts.
We believe in the freedom of the individual and in the power of accomplishment of the society.
We are one world, humankind, family.
We are a free people.
All humanity furthers the expression of humankind’s freedom on Earth.
It rises in every human breast and every human breath.
It lives in our actions and in our words. It is paramount.
Freedom is our birthright. Freedom is our heritage. Freedom is our destiny.
Our constitution says,
'All of China's people are equal.'
And I find that a very satisfying saying.
Common ordinary sayings can be very satisfying.
They remind us that we continue to believe and defend what is good and right and true.
From time to time we do remind ourselves
Of the things we know to be true
From time to time we do say again out loud
The things that we believe
By this we do maintain and uphold
And support and progress
Our society, our community,
Our economy and our freedom.
We are humankind one family together.
We have overturned oppression,
And we fortified our hearts with freedom and compassion.
Not that we may deny another but that all may live free.
Not only oppression overturned but freedom and compassion fulfilled.
The right to due process, to presumption of innocence, to evidence, to juries to defense counsel, to humane treatment.
The right of free speech and free speech activities. The right to publish without undue government action.
The right to free assembly without undue government action. The right to address an assembly. The right to protest and to march.
The right to freedom of thought and freedom of belief. To hold views and to discuss them openly without undue government action.
The right to free movement of people and goods and services, free markets, free trade, fair trade, equitable bargaining and negotiating.
The right to privacy, to freedom from search and seizure and records of people and goods and services. And to warrants and judges.
A right to shelter, to education and good health, a right to sufficient food and to clean drinking water, a right to sanitation.
A right to protection by good laws and good regulations. A right to good help in community organization.
A right to choose the nature and the status of one's own family and marriage relations. A right to community.
A right to protection of these rights. Without discrimination. Equal rights and in equal language.
We can do this. With unity. With love. With freedom. Together as family. We can help provide for each other.
We can build a better world together. The fullness of freedom is for everyone.
I know we can do this. We have been doing this. We are doing this. We will do more.
We stand in unity, in hope, as family one family sentient life together.
And not only to overturn empires but to fulfil our Republic together
Let no-one persuade us against this sweet fruit of redemption of our years of effort.
Let no-one part us from the unity of peace and freedom and development which is rightfully everyone’s.
For our planet we hope for ourselves the unifying destiny of our freedom.
Hold your light bright within you.
We stand in unity, in hope, as one family together.
Choose to stand in your liberty with your fellow humans.
That we never again shall stand alone nor be parted as the sand.
But that liberty does unite itself in the strength of the freedom of all people.
To believe in this is to help your neighbor even if they are a thousand kilometres away.
Because you know and believe in the equality of individuals.
And that they deserve the same high amount of freedom you have.
And every person helped is a better world.
Unity. Equality. Freedom. They have brought us blessing.
And we ask ourselves to grow this blessing. To brighten each our futures.
Having gained so much we must not now be lax in its growth and spread.
We must not forget to fulfil our destiny and our promise.
To fulfil the sweet fruit of redemption of our years of effort.
This is what we ask for.
I have a strong belief and faith in humanity and in our being family together.
A joyous belief that our destiny is freedom and that we gain it by our principles.
The acknowledgement of the universal love that springs naturally in every human heart.
The freedom that comes from community together making a better world together.
A love for all people around the world and joy in their success.
I am privileged to speak for the liberty of humankind.
Not only privileged but honoured.
But I am not special any more than you are special - we are all special.
I am not more talented even if I had more talents than you.
Which if you read the interviews I’ve had over the years you know I keep quite humble.
It isn’t because I am better than you. Because I’m not.
It is because of opportunity and the economy that can support choices and preferences of my life.
It is by my place it is by my position. It is by time and by chance.
It is by a sum of efforts going back beyond the dawn of written history.
Efforts we have all made. And I am here. And I find myself in a position to speak. And so I speak.
Not because I think I have the best words. I don’t know what are the best words.
Not because I have the best ideas. I don’t know what are the best ideas.
But because I feel I can make a difference. Because I know that I can change the world for the better.
And that’s something I can do.
That’s something we each of us can do.
In these things we, humankind, family, do believe.
The best of life is for all of us.
A world of social mobility, a world of economic prosperity, a world of equal potential for everyone.
A world with rights, your rights my rights everyone's rights.
A fair world, a tolerant world, a clean world, a green world. A world where anything is possible.
This is our destiny. It's ours if we choose it. We are humanity.
I bring to you a message of hope
A message of joy
And of love
We are one family humankind.
We are replete with the fullness of liberty.
It is natural within our breast.
It expresses itself in your words
And in your hands.
It gives us all better lives as it expresses itself.
It is our better nature
Our true nature.
It is your love for each and every one of you.
Our love is what makes us human and keeps us human.
It can never be extinguished no matter what we do.
Its truth can hurt us and harm us when we do wrong.
It can burn within us as it purifies our wrong.
It can teach us, it can lead us, it is who we are, it is what we are.
We are one family humankind.
We are love.
That true love that natural love that good love.
That is who we are.
The fulfilment of who we are is our destiny.

We see before us the brighter world we can build together.
We have inculcated within our breast the power of freedom and the desire

We see before us the brighter world we can build together.
We have inculcated within our breast
The power of freedom and the desire
To share along with all humanity
The emancipation which comes
From a free people freely choosing
To freely make a free society.
We believe in free, fair,
And prosperous worlds.
In civil rights
And in equal rights.

We are one family humankind together.
Where we stand is where we make our economy together as family.
We provide help for each other,
In expertise, in planning, in organizing.
And in accessing resources and in laboring freely.
What do you want to do today?
And do it.
What do you want to learn?
And learn it.
And we will help you.
We provide free choice for each other.
For our use of our time
Our access to resources
Our education
Our economy.
We believe in free movement and organization
Of people and services and things.
Within and between our economic structures.
We organize not to rule each other
Not to deny free use of materials and infrastructure
But that everyone may be free.
We facilitate each other's labor and access
To capacities and resources and machines and tools and knowledge.
Together for each other
We do plan for each other to help each other learn and grow.
As communities together
We meet together to gain new knowledge
About methods to help our economy
To help us build a better world together.
We learn about the methods we each know
And about improved methods.
In our generation we have the self-awareness
To come together to create a global opportunity
To share scientific knowledge.
Whether we know seeds or farming.
Or whether we know machines or some other knowledge.
We have the need to know about all technologies high and low,
Basic and advanced,
And to become literate in their study.
And in the wisdom of all the people of the earth.
Together we can learn from the best practices
And provide for each other the best learning.
Whether we learn a little or a lot -
We can learn enough to help improve our lives
And do more together as communities
To build a better world together.
We might only learn in bits and parts a little at a time -
But every time we need to learn more we are there for one another.
And we will also tell people when we find knew knowledge or advanced skills
And we will help each other learn and implement together.
This will help us improve the help we give each other
And the ability of ourselves as community
To help build a better world together.
We will be amazed by the things we can accomplish together -
Though we know it can be done.
By helping organize ourselves better as communities
We will increase awareness of each other
And help ourselves learn and build together.
As governments as charities as communities
As enterprises as organizations
We must organize and communicate and connect better.
It will make a difference in the lives of all the people of the globe.
And together we will be more.
We believe in owning our own homes and workshops
And farms and possessions
And in each of us directing our own as individuals.
We require the use of the earth to live
Both for farms and for industry -
Free access to direct an equitable portion.
We believe in free use of our labor
To create those bigger structures
Upon which we rely
And believe that we together do direct them.
That everyone may access resources
And use their time and labor freely
And neither rule nor deny each other equal help.
Free and open structures
Wherein people and things can move and act freely
To build the way of living we each choose.
To choose together to create and rely upon
Open and free structures
Wherein we can be helped to choose each other.
We have good respect for each other's health and safety
And for the health and safety of the environment.
A happy world a clean world a green world,
A world with the power of economy
Opened up for each individual.
We can build a better world together.
The fullness of freedom is for everyone.
I know we can do this.
We have been doing this.
We are doing this.
We will do more.
For the betterment of humankind.

Of our attainment of our liberty.
Our Family is One Family Humankind.
Our Destiny is our Freedom. It is ours.
Wherever we are -
China, India, Africa, or Europe or wherever else we are -
We can come together
To provide for each other.
We know what are some of the major concerns and hopes
Of our planet and our people.
3 billion of us live on less than $2 per day
And need help bringing the resources of the planet together for our benefit.
2.6 billion of us lack access to improved sanitation.
By accessing and processing resources we build better shelter and better sanitation.
2.5 billion of us rely on biomass.
We can make power plants for everyone.
This will increase global CO2 by 0.9%.
1.8 billion of us have access to a water source within 1 kilometre,
But not in our house or yard.
We can make pipes and pumps and reservoirs.
1.1 billion of us have inadequate access to water.
We can find coal and ore
And make machines to dig canals and irrigation.
1.6 billion of us live without electricity.
In the past 25 years 1.3 billion people have gained electricity.
We will dig coal and make cleaner power plants.
1.5 billion of us are without adequate shelter.
Of whom 640 million of us are children.
We will make a better world together by cooperating.
1 billion of us are living in slum conditions.
Of whom 170 million of us are in India.
We can plan together for each other and build a better world together.
At our current birth rates,
We estimate that 3 billion people will need housing in coming decades.
We can slow our birth rates and speed our economy.
2.2 billon of us are children.
Of whom 1 billion of us are in poverty.
Together we will provide books
And machines and industry
Together for everyone.
925 million of us live in chronic hunger.
We will count the land and the labor needed
And engage in the labors together
And everyone will have enough.
884 million of us lack an improved water source.
Of whom 746 million of us live in rural areas.
We will come together
To plan and to build together.
793 million of us are illiterate adults.
Of whom 584 million of us are women.
We can learn to read and to write
And to engage in plans
And build a better world together.
121 million of us are children who are not in education.
Together we can build enough schools for each other
And the economy to support everyone.
100 million of us are homeless.
We know how to build homes and what resources we need and how to use them.
We will build and cooperate together.
72 million of us of primary school age are not in school.
We will build a better economy by community planning
To help us build a better world together.
4 million of us die each year from diseases that are preventable by vaccination.
We have the plans for the factories and drugs
And together we will cure ourselves.
We humankind can act globally together
International bodies and treaties
Should have democratic proportional representation.
For debt-relieved nations
We can temporarily reduce debt repayments
To the levels of the previous reduction.
This counters rises that are due to the financial crisis.
The previous relief levels will return as conditions return.
In short, a flux equation can be established and with terms and conditions.
We can establish a committee
To study the best practices
For reviews of large and persistent global trade imbalances.
And a committee to study concerns and proposals
Regarding an international system for arbitrating cross-border debts.
The major forests of the planet must be protected from logging.
They are a large and vital part of the lungs of the Earth
Species must be protected from harm and from extinction.
Fresh surface water and the water tables and watersheds must be protected and kept clean.
Fishery population numbers must be allowed to replenish and strengthen.
Those international water that clearly provide for locals should not be fished by richer nations.
Rainforests and natural habitats must be saved and repopulated and re-grown.
There shall be international garden associations.
To plant trees and flowers and wild plants and habitats of all varieties.
Wildlife populations have declined.
Perhaps as much as 30% in the past four decades.
We can care for and conserve, all species and habitats.
People must be helped to have sufficient knowledge to farm and for industry.
Community organization is something we should encourage.
Political control should be democratic. Their offices and officials.
Government and other institutions can help people organize and produce economy
We can help provide everyone with experts and the knowledge of civilization.
We must be careful and live within the natural limits.
We must be careful how we use water, farmland, forests, and fisheries.
We must be careful about air quality.
We must be careful about our energy use.
We should have global public domain research projects
World public domain research for solar and for clean coal.
The world must have electricity. This will add 1% to Carbon Emissions.
We can review the state of technology and the available options for power lines.
This helps line efficiency and helps reduce power plant emissions.
Magnitudes more exploration of energy and minerals is needed.
Phone wires and utility pipes can be competed upon.
Competitors can pay the infrastructure costs.
A committee can discover if enterprises competing upon the same physical resource location would be helpful.
We can globalize clinical trials. This helps improve costs.
It helps speed enrolment. It helps speeds trial process.
And this helps cure the sick sooner and cheaper.
There can be public domain world plants databases and seed-banks.
There can be a review of water use of toileting, bathing, and industry.
This review shall cover technologies and possibilities.
There can be a global committee on ground water.
Freshwater must be respected and protected and conserved.
On disease there can be joined-up research by world institutions.
There can be international textbooks and practical guidebooks on basic technologies.
These can help students and laypersons and practitioners and experts
Industries can re-use water supplies before cleaning them and flushing them.
We can research this with global public domain research.
We can provide for ourselves
Our carrying capacity to take care of ourselves is strained.
We are struggling to grow enough grain.
We are struggling to find enough water.
0.7 percent of GNI is the UN target for spending on the global poor.
I take this as being a progressive tax
With the most developed nations paying 0.7% of their GDP to the global poor
This money funds our commitment.
To freedom and democracy and liberty and free markets.
To enterprise, to food, to water, to shelter.
To family, to community, to health, to life.
We humankind in each our nations
Do collect taxes totalling a percentage of our GDP
We use some of this money to help the poor in our own nations
We humankind can spend 0.7 percent of GDP of the developed nations
We humankind shall spend this money upon the people of the Earth our family
And if you will vote with me then you with me
We shall do this
We humankind where we find ourselves able
Shall spend upon the people of the Earth our family
We are one family
We are humankind
This money funds our commitment.
To freedom and democracy and liberty and free markets.
To enterprise, to food, to water, to shelter.
To family, to community, to health, to life.
Hundreds of millions more of us will be lifted out of extreme poverty.
Hundreds of millions more of us will no longer hunger.
Hundreds of millions more of us will no longer thirst.
Hundreds of millions more of us will have safe drinking water.
Hundreds of millions more of us will have safe sanitation.
Hundreds of millions more of us will go to school.
Tens of millions of us will live who would otherwise die.
Freedom will by these actions brighten across all the Earth
Among all peoples and among all and places
We humankind can eradicate extreme poverty and hunger.
We humankind can achieve universal primary education.
We humankind can promote gender equality and empower women.
We humankind can reduce child mortality.
We humankind can improve maternal health.
We humankind can combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases.
We humankind can ensure environmental sustainability.
We humankind can develop a global partnership for development.
For this cause we humankind have founded good organizations
Not to go nowhere
But to go somewhere
To good schools
To decent jobs
To the park with your kids
To have peace
To have political freedom
To have economic freedom
To show our love
To show our decency
To bless us each and every one
We humankind give this budget to the global poor
Hundreds of billions of us are short of education.
We will provide education for you.
Hundreds of billions of us are short of food.
We will provide food for you.
Hundreds of billions of us are short of sanitation.
We will provide for sanitation for you.
Tens of millions of us die each year from starvation and disease.
We will save you.
This spending is better than war spending
It funds the same principles
And gets better results
A nation unafraid of spending its blood for liberty
Should be a nation unafraid of spending 0.7 percent of its GNI for liberty
Already one billion people are food insecure
Billions live on less than ten dollars each day
Our industries require much energy and much water
People desire gardens and they live in dense cities
Hundreds of millions of people don't have sufficient sanitation
We need another agricultural revolution
There are many fields in Africa that can double their output
There are many fields in Eastern Europe that can increase their output
There are many fields in Russia that can be re-opened to crops
We can use each technology in turn
Until we have provided for everyone
Grow lots of the newer breeds of seeds and give them to poorer farmers
So they have seeds that give safer and bigger harvests
Introduce better planting schemes, inter-planting, rotation, companions
Soil management schemes, natural and chemical, fertilizers and composts and rocks
A textbook forum for better handbooks and textbooks and knowledge sharing
A world forum for plant breeding schemes
Shared industrialization for the farms of poor farmers
Updated technology for tools and machines and practices
And purchasing and production cooperatives and labor-sharing initiatives
I expect a free Earth
Most of human history has been nearly flat population growth
In Europe and Japan and Russia the population growth rate is flat
In some of Europe and in the USA the birth rate is less than replacement
This is good
In most of human history two individuals provided for six people
Their self, their spouse, two children, and two sets of parents
And the mother and the father shared the work
They worked in the fields together
They looked after the house together
And where they had good free government
And where they had good community and good institutions
And good technology and science and humanities
They were happy
I expect by our free choices
That the population of the Earth will decrease
And will do so for several generations
Around the planet the reproduction rate is decreasing
Imagine if every mother had 4 children
Each next generation would be double in size
27 percent of the global population are youth
Suppose each generation had 4 children per couple
Within 100 years we'd be at 60 billion people
And at the least the past 60 years of people would still be alive
World population would be 90 billion people
I want to keep global population under 10 billion people
I want space of natural countryside between our fields
I want space between our suburbs
I want not city laid to city
I want at least one third of the land to be a place for the wilderness
For the bears and the birds and for the moose and the mountains and the prairies
For the elephants and the lions and the tigers and the giant rainforests and the boreal forest
For the buffalo and the hippo and the wetlands and the grasslands
And for the trees and for the wild the great the big the glorious outdoors
Our population decrease is a natural result of our free choices
And we expect that sometime in the future
The same free choices will be had by the world
And we know that if we give out free condoms and birth control pills
Women do choose to space their children
Women do choose to have their children later in life
Women do choose to have fewer children
These are their free choices
When they have better control over the reproduction capabilities of their own bodies
And so I advocate free condoms for all the world
And I have priced this
And it only costs less than one billion dollars each year
To give every person on the planet two condoms per month
If we all lived in towns at 6000 people per square mile
Or if we lived in the average of that density as villages and towns
We humankind could live upon about 12 million square miles
This total provides for housing and food and for industrial crops
We can mingle countryside with our use of the land
This can double the total to 24 million square miles
We can give some more millions of square miles for forests
And some more millions for mountains
And some more millions for deserts
And maybe we can reclaim parts of some of the deserts
The remaining unaccounted land is usually frozen land
We can’t live there
And living near there is often difficult
If anyone wants to resurrect the Woolly Mammoth
Then the Mammoths could live near the frozen lands
And any sabre tooth tigers
We must also take good care of the waters of the earth
And help ensure corral reefs and algae stocks are replenished
A majority of our oxygen comes from plant-life in the oceans
Plans on the land and in the sea are both vital for the air we breath
The total proven BTU based on proven reserves
Is 30 million million million
This is all the heat we can use for industrial chemistry
And to turn steam turbines to produce electricity
And to use to power our trains and planes and cars
If everyone used USA per capita levels of BTU each year
Then we have 14 years until it all runs out
Suppose we were 10 billion people
Then we have 10 years until it all runs out
Now, the proven reserves are a subcategory of total existing reserves
Some say the total coal in the USA is 14 times the proven reserves in the USA
Some say 41 percent of annual oil flow is based on 11 percent of claimed reserves.
Suppose this is true and suppose and that it is economical to extract
Then if everyone used energy at the rate the USA uses energy
Then we have closer to 100 years before it all runs out
Or if we were 10 billion people then something like 60 years
It took a few decades to change to an oil economy
And a changeover might go against the stock prices that invest in the current fossil fuel prices based on current extraction rates
It is much safer to use energy at the rates Japan uses
That would help double the time we have available
Some might think that several generations is doable
Historically our experience of changing energy sources is that it can take decades
And that’s if you have the fuel source and in sufficient numbers
To produce a solar economy that runs directly on sunlight
For 10 billion people we need 10 million square miles of solar panels
That's all of the USA and the Sahara and all of China put together
Minus Alaska and Tibet
Fusion won’t even be at its prototype stage within 30 years at current rates of development
Wind and wave energy are not sufficient to power the globe’s existing economy
Fission is considered too dangerous by many people
Coal and oil will eventually run out and are also needed for medicines and plastics
And for industrial chemistry which will be needed in larger volumes
Over eighty percent of the world have yet to industrialize
It will take time to get the level of energy use of Japan or France or England
And by then we will probably be using far more energy efficient fuel sources
And this will help extend the life of our fuel sources or our rate of our use of plastic
As we develop we will approach the energy usage rate of Japan and England and France
Global cooperation should increase
Eighty percent of the planet are yet to industrialize
You should own it by your labors
Some capital gets paid money and gets ownership and votes
Your labor should get paid money and get ownership and votes
We should arrange our labor and our wealth
Into such structures as councils and cooperative enterprises
As do better provide for our freedom
We should represent our wealth at banks
70 percent of GDP is consumer purchases
And we should fund our own freedom
With our own labors and with our own purchases
We should have libraries of plans of apartments and towns
That we may share with each other better designs and dreams
We should not lock ourselves into lesser designs and lesser technologies
When with public domain global community effort
We can gain for ourselves better technology and better designs
And better enterprises that have better freedoms and better organization
You can consult my community speech for more of the actions we can take
These things will help gain for everyone a better world and a better future
Over the next two decades
More than one million square miles will at current growth-rates become city
And millions of square miles of farmland must become more productive
Billions of people will gain better houses
And can live where they choose
In villages or in towns
And can bring the resources to themselves
And work where they live
And connect it by transportation
If they will choose this
And form and progress the institutions that bring this about
Free cooperative enterprises
We can
By wise investment and research and development
Skip a few levels now and then and here and there
And get better value for our efforts
We can build better buildings and better machines
Than would otherwise be the case
I propose a project that would create public domain global development research projects
For solar and fission and fusion and coal
For better efficiency at using resources
To get more out of the resources that remain
And to hasten our ability to put back the time when the fossil fuels run out
A hope that technology can save us is good
But we already have the horizons from current research
And we know the pace of development
And we can guess what the future might be if we do not have big projects
We must
From the science horizons we currently have
Provide for ourselves and our future generations
Such power and energy
That does sustain our living standards
I believe in a growing economy
Careful use of resources doesn't mean we stop growing our economy
There will always be science and learning
And as these progress so our economy will grow
And we rely upon more than energy.
We rely upon water.
And in this is the terror of our day
That we might pollute our drinking water
Or have not enough for crops or core needed industries
Because once our living standards are built
Then climbing down below some levels can be difficult
We add to our projects water cleaning and recycling
We add to our projects reverse osmosis
And if we ever succeed in good cheap reverse osmosis
Then we will have provided a very large salvation for ourselves
Climate change scientists say
If we add another 565 gigagtonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere
Then global temperatures will rise by over 2 degrees Celsius
So far they've risen 0.8 degrees
And this has solely or partly caused droughts and floods
Hotter temperatures cause droughts
Hotter air can hold more water
And so more water can fall at once
Both of these can harm crops
If we stopped today the effects would continue nearly to 2 degrees
Like if you stop pushing your bicycle it continues
At the rate we are developing our economies we won't stop
It is practically certain we will go over 2 degrees Celsius
If we burn all our fossil fuels over the next 100 or so years
Then that's five times the 565 gigatonnes
True we already had CO2 in the air from the past 100 years
And true we started from the pre-industrialization levels
But during the previous 100 years, less than 20 percent of the world industrialized
And it took them time to industrialize
We can expect the effects to be bigger than the previous 100 years
And so we won't have merely hotter temperatures
We shall gain a planet like something out of science fiction
And we shall have to live here
If that day arrives then the solution is obvious
More of us must move to the latitudes of Russia and Canada
Another option
And we can take both of them
Is to turn deserts into rainforests by careful planting
For in previous hot times we find some current deserts were rainforests
The USA and Sahara and India need not becomes desert in this scenario
And we know that a rainforest can sustain crops and some number of human population
This is the body of science that brought you
Mechanics and relativity and quantum mechanics
It brought you radio and television and computers and the internet
It brought you cars and trains and airplanes and space shuttles and Concorde
It brought you all the factory machines that make things
If it is inconvenient to believe them
Then ask yourself
This body of technology it built
Is this improvement in living standards inconvenient?
Or anyway is it unreal?
Did they not achieve these things based on their science?
And so give their warnings careful consideration
And so we add climate change concerns to our projects
The odds are not yet certain but they are too close
If the threat were meteors we would certainly begin a project
As for tiny meteors a few tens of meters in diameter, these are dangerous
There was one such impact within the past ten years
And if it had exploded over a city
Then its effects could have been possibly approaching a nuclear blast.
And so,
In addition to a project for micro-launch miniature space labs
For medicines and other things,
We will begin a project to interdict and fragment these mini meteors
And this gives more chance they will burn in the air and not explode nearer the ground
Our space projects will help our science and help protect the Earth from occasional impacts
If the land and the enterprises are owned by a few
Then what sort of freedom is that?
If we know how to socially organize
Yet leave hundreds of millions unhelped
Then what sort of freedom is that?
What planet do you want to live on?
In politics and economics and the environment
We can create new cities.
All in good order and in good form.
We can create the training schemes
We can organize the labor
We can find the physical resources
We can build the factories
We have done this before
We can do this again
I believe in everyone
I believe in humankind
I believe in Earth
I believe equally in all the people
I believe equally in all the land
We can have peace together
We can beat our swords into ploughshares.
We can turn our army into medicines.
We can turn our warships into grain silos.
We can turn our fighter-planes into schools.
We can turn our bombs into textbooks.
We can provide for the poor and the sick
The lame will walk.
The blind will see.
The deaf will hear.
The sick will be made well.
The hungry will be fed.
The thirsty will be given to drink.
The homeless will be homed.
The poor will be poor no more.
We can have the courage to improve our organizations
In government and in cooperative free enterprise
In providing knowledge and the freedom of free assembly and free choice
We can have the courage to spend 0.7 percent of GNI on the global poor.
We can have the courage to organize ourselves to do this
Together we humankind will help each other.
We can complete the UN Millennium Development Goals.
We can complete the Copenhagen Consensus.
And whatever good plans the nations and regions and continents and peoples do have.
And we can help everyone gain banking services.
And we can help each other build together.
Whoever we are and wherever we are.
We can come together to help provide for each other.
We will end our hunger and our thirst and our poverty.
We will become smarter, better educated, and produce more wealth.
We will live upright healthy lives.
We will have sufficient food and energy.
We will have nice homes and work places.
We will have good education and plentiful opportunity.
We will have flowers in the streets and parks in the cities.
We will have good respect and care to the Earth.
Whatever happened
To the things we said would make life good?
Behold.
And we together will do this for everyone.
All lands and all people can do this
They can raise-up and elect people among themselves
To be equal with all the people and to help all the people
And can form such cooperative free enterprises
And can form such libraries and can hire experts
And can gain for themselves better education
And can help support the outcome they desire
And the wages of their labor can be their freedom
You have heard the order of the freedom that I believe
Such shall be the freedom of humankind if you desire
Such as is common to be found within each our hearts
We can each do our part where we are
By our votes and by our actions
And by the institutions we form
And by electing numbers of ourselves into government
And onto the boards of cooperative free enterprises
As someone co-equal to each and every person
We can help do as we all can do
We can help express and progress
The principles of humankind
These things I have said
These things I can do
These things you each individual have said
These things you each individual can do
These things we humankind have said
These things we humankind can do
And if we act together we shall be capable hereto
In Russia
There are myriad resources
Ready and waiting to be connected together
To make a powerful economy of machines.
Rather than hope to find some small space in towns and cities
The rising generation and older generation
Must take hold of their future together.
They must organize to locate and plan the production of these resources
Into fine and wonderful economy of freedom for everyone together.
That everyone may have better days to labor in knowledge
And building things together to have better living standards
And to better own their own futures.
In China there are many students
Who do not go to the full potential of their training
And who should organize to come together in planning.
That with experienced people
They can produce more economy for the world and for themselves
That everyone can be happier and have more freedom.
To join where we can is good
But leaves us less able to produce the power of economy
Which together we have when we access resources together.
And some of us old and young
Must become elected in local elections
To gain the experience
To be ready to stand for elections for more responsibility.
The next level of political administration elected in due course
Must have responsible people
Who are capable and ready for the responsibility.
So that they can stand in elections
And whether they win or lose
They will have helped China to choose its own course
And its own way of doing things.
In India we can form cooperative free enterprises
It is free choice that builds our economy
And we can help each other
As villages we are a large part of the population
And can form a network of community cooperative free enterprises
And the libraries to go with them
And can hire experts and pay them based upon our future wealth
For by good planning we know we create lots of wealth
And we plan good houses for each other
And good living conditions
We plan the labors necessary
And we build together
And we do only those labors necessary
And each hour being necessary it can have equal pay
With variations for unpleasant types of labor
We can decide who to support in getting education
We can build institutions of knowledge and planning
That do help us with our free choices
So that everyone can have an equal and equitable portion of the economy
Everyone can have a nice house and nice living conditions
And we can be free and equal together
In towns and cities we can do the same
We can form unions and connect our unions with other unions
We can gain representation on the boards of enterprises
And can prefer to support better forms of enterprise
That do not have giant wages and that don’t result in a rich and powerful few owning and directing the economy
This we can do by our organization and our careful planning and thinking
And everyone can be happy with this development
A free economy is the expression of a free people
And a free people choose to be equal and free
The people don’t choose to build big houses for the rich and powerful
The people choose to labor equally and equitably
In Africa we who live in slums can be unafraid
And can create community organizations
Call them senates and forums
Where we can talk and discuss things
By this we can regain the power of the community
To talk and communicate one with another
And this is very powerful for our freedom
We can choose by the power of our organizing
To support enterprises that have representation on the board
And which have no excess costs and no excess wages
A free and fair economy without rentiers and not owned by a rich and powerful few
In Europe many of us who are youth are unemployed
We by our future organization and planning
Can create templates for industries and enterprises
We produce business plans and gain loans
And can create better freer and fairer enterprises
These are examples of the same general principles and plans
That can be repeated in every situation around the globe
We humankind are family
And do expect the result of freedom
A good economy for everyone
Together we are more than graduates -
We are an economy.
We humankind are family.
Humankind are a community of freedom both civil and economic.
A family of love and unity and cooperation.
All people have this potential to build better worlds together.
And by organizing we can help them and help ourselves and help everyone.
We are capable willing and able
To produce the next level of economic freedom and destiny
For ourselves our families and for all communities.
Together can make a strong difference
For our families and our communities.
We know what we can do together
With our potential of resources and community and people.
We can upgrade our slums
And build new towns until there are no more slums.
We can help everyone’s community development and individual progress.
We must approach local government for the help which government is there for -
To help people organize together in creating progress for the economy.
We turn to each other as communities, individuals,
Enterprises, organizations, and government,
And we plan and organize and finance.
Together we spread create and grow economic growth for even more people.
Together we are more,
Together we are that brighter future
And we can build it where we come together
In unity and love and freedom and cooperation.
Together we humankind can provide for each other.
In unity, in love, in hope, in freedom.
These and more are my cares, my concerns, my hopes, my dreams, my family.
