I have long sought to best summarize in as few words as possible my book’s redesign of our government. I believe the following approximately 1,000 word summary to be my best effort to date.

The flat tax idea is one big scam from a to z. If you aren’t wealthy, don’t buy it.

    This diary discusses a free book that offers a partial redesign of the American government. In a new HONEST electoral system all constitutionally qualified members of the electorate are empowered to take any amount of time to run for office for free. Members may reach out to each other across their states or the entire nation in support of their champions, people that resemble them in body, mind, interests and pocketbook and that truly serve their interests. Congress automatically demographically resembles the ENTIRE electorate. No quota systems, political parties or complex electoral schemes are necessary. People just get to vote for whom they really want.
    Using a simple, non-mathematical voting method based on the colors green, yellow and red, the electorate directly sets and maintains nine economic values that our government and nation must use as they function. Along with other economic powers, in a vastly simplified tax system, the electorate has the sole power to tax. It sets the size and distribution of our tax burden.
    These direct electoral and economic powers put the electorate firmly in the driver’s seat of our government and redeem it by making it truly representative of the entire electorate as it writes laws governing our market economy and all the rest of society, making them honest and equitable.
    This design empowers the electorate to choose how much government and how much private sector it wants. It empowers our nation (or any nation) to evolve peacefully over time and to explore a vast political-economic landscape ranging all the way from unbridled capitalism to full socialism. We are empowered to peacefully and intelligently choose our highest wisdom.
