Fixing America (4): A Wrap-Up of Basic Income and Wealth Tax

Posted on 2013 December 14 by Mark Macy

A wealth tax coupled with a basic income program would ensure that the poor, many of whom are now homeless and/or drowning in debt, would get their heads above water while the brunt of the tax burden would be carried by the rich, who can afford it. It would quickly bridge the ugly chasm between America’s super rich and super poor.

Fixing America (2): Basic Income, One Possible Solution

Posted on 2013 November 24 by Mark Macy

To Americanize the Swiss (basic income) program, and to keep things simple in our calculations, imagine giving every adult American, say, $1,000 a month in basic income. That income alone would raise most people above the poverty line and would keep everyone else at least near the line. Continue reading →

Fixing America (1): The Problems

Posted on 2013 November 17 by Mark Macy

The REAL issue is not the differences and the divides between the rich and the poor. The real issue is the living conditions of the less fortunate. Society can flourish as long as the poor, as well as the rich, have access to the basics of modern living… which include food, clothes, housing, health care, transportation, and communication….

How Northern Europe Does It Right

Posted on 2013 November 3 by Mark Macy

If the Danes are the happiest country in the world, it’s because they take care of their people.

Toward a Transparent World… Edward Snowden and Friends…

Posted on 2013 August 24 by Mark Macy

Beyond the material realm—in the worlds of spirit—consciousness is transparent. Between lifetimes on Earth, when we return home to those astral and ethereal realms, our thoughts, emotions, and intentions are observed clearly by those around us. Only by living in the material world can we experience the strange illusion of secrecy…. which brings us to Edward Snowden…. Continue reading →

The Worst of the Worst: Nonfunctioning Alcoholism

Posted on 2013 July 7 by Mark Macy

Nonfunctioning alcoholics can’t hold down a job or keep a marriage together and they alienate friends. They may get into fights, wreck cars, interfere with other people’s lives, pass out on the floor. As “easy targets,” they lose everything over time, and through it all, they’re unaware of their situation. They think they’re doing okay in life and it’s the people around them who have the problems. They’re ostracized by society, eventually becoming homeless, indigent, derelict…. Continue reading →

Are You an Extrovert or an Introvert?… Me? Well….

Posted on 2013 May 4 by Mark Macy

My introversion explains a lot about my work in ITC and afterlife research… my theories about spiritual reality… my view of human beings as noble-savage creatures in a noble-savage world… my belief in a politics of good will… my struggle with public presentations and group efforts (including the miraculous INIT association that I helped establish late last century)….
