=== Current Synthesis on Taxation ===

''' Proposed: Equal and Consistent Taxation '''
<br>
All humans can contribute a single token per year to a universal central/global fund/treasury.<br>
Funds are then allocated to the Administrative Regions that are divided by geographical surface areas.

'''This matter requires attention from folks who are knowledgeable in civil engineering, farming, permaculture, circular economies, and so on.'''

=== What have we done with our earth? How can we live on it together more efficiently and more effectively? ===
We seem to have made this earth rather unenjoyable for randomly unlucky humans who may be born in devalued currency regions or to low income families. As of the early 2020s, 1USD went from costing the Lebanese 1.5klbs to 112klbs, not to mention the unsolved port explosion in Beirut and the endless wars which have taken place ever since Israel was given Palestine. Of course it didn’t help that parts of Syria were given to the Lebanese after the French (starved and then) colonised Lebanon after WW1. Our world history is littered with inhumane acts of violence on people’s freedoms and yet we, the “intelligent” and the “civilized”, continue to allow so much of our tax budgets to be invested in military expansion instead of human evolution and prosperity.

Does it make any sense to allow our collective contributions to go into private pockets, often friends of our so-called representatives, so that they can then build destructive and murderous machines that they give back to us, the masses, which we then blindly use to kill and destroy one another’s livelihoods? All in the name of what, honor? Patriotism? Security? Family? Freedom? What if we had invested these large sums in providing basic needs for everyone so that we are all empowered to learn, and to grow and to discuss our way through conflict instead of fighting for our trusted leaders? Leaders who we continue to empower by giving them access to ever-increasingly dangerous weapons of mass destruction. Does it make any sense to pay for and pave the way to allow any single person to destroy an entire region at the push of a button? Do we not continue to make ourselves weaker by allowing such irrational budgeting, empowering the few through such military investments, as opposed to empowering the many through investments in distributed farming, healthcare and enjoyable and relevant, quality learning?

The current friction in Israel (now 10th of October 2023) will continue to boil into something no citizen should have to experience anywhere. If we continue to let such tensions rise and play on our emotions, we will continue to play this game that is made out for all of us - the masses - to lose.
