Post 17 of 20: Political Imperatives of the MC Movement
Target: Identify and address political impediments against efficient MC Movement action against mass poverty and scores of related mass pains. Rationale: Unfortunately for organizers of mega co-ops, Philippine government regimes have for ages belonged to 'top corrupt' worldwide, as foreign & local media reports. Such reports have helped scare away foreign investors since the 1960s. These days' latest proof: 1st World companies fleeing China due to the Chinese Communist regime 'weaponizing everything' have decamped with their multi-billion factory investments to Vietnam, Malaysia & Indonesia, the Philippines roundly avoided. Local investment waters for the MC Movt is just as problematic. 'Facilitation fees' now hover at 50% of infrastructure project cost, when 'cake slices' get added from top politicians to bottom permit issuers. Getting franchises or permits to operate large projects can cost millions of pesos in cash or stock shares, condo units, cars, offshore bank deposits, etc. The system has become culture & cannot be erased despite all politicians' promise of 'ending corruption once & for all.' What's the remedy? The most effective 'medicine' is for the MC Movt to become government thru Charter Change. The process may take years or much shorter depending upon Movt members' ability to persuade most Filipino voters to join, since majority voter referendum approval is needed to effect Charter Change.
Q1: Why should most if not all 60+million Filipino voters be recruited into the Mega Co-op Movement? A1: MCs and their joint venture cos. will need a lot of regulatory permits from State as well as critical State help, such as: (a) State guarantees for MCs' green loans to facilitate billion-dollar world Green Fund approvals; (b) Occasional State sale of sovereign bonds in billions of dollars to finance new nets of farm-to-market feeder roads and infrastructures for MC JVs' use; (c) MC corporate groups' needs for national and local government approvals of agroforest joint venture land use rights, business permits, franchises, taxation requirements, tax breaks, laws that favor MCs, and lots more; (d) need to address corruption thru preventive (before the act) laws and policies instead of the usual reactionary (after the event) court systems. History shows that the latter system enables the corrupt to win 99% of cases thru political connections & top arrangers 'cleanly' handing out massive Court payouts.
The last need (on corruption) is critical. Philippine media and public grapevines have reported 'oiling' commissions needed to win State contracts or get permits and privileges rising from 10% of project cost in the 1960s to 20% in 1970s and 40 to 50% these days. The recent worst was the year-2000s trillion-level State money that politicians budgeted for 'fertilizer purchases', 'co-op projects', 'rehabilitation of typhoon victims', etc., plus P38 billion in State natural gas extraction shares, most of which went to a small group of senators & congressmen in suitcases of 'no paper trail' cash. A few of the perpetrators and beneficiaries were jailed, but subsequently released, as courts soon determined that 'crafty minor employees actually pocketed the billions'. As usual, 'clean name' politicians and media personnel claimed that such scams and project cuts comprised only the tips of massive icebergs of corruption considered as standard among Philippine regimes over decades. The scams and payouts were seldom revealed publicly due to 'no paper trail' tactics honed to sharpness by generations of project 'facilitators' Thankfully, out of 300 or so top politicians, only very few have been publicly known to be involved in high-level corruption, but said few's 'take' amounted to quadrillions of pesos over decades, as various media & congressional investigations have indicated. Unfortunately, the courts' requirement of 'solid proof' have consigned the issues to sad history and nothing more.
Why the persistence of State corruption in 3rd World Philippines? The major reasons: (a) politicians' need to recoup their billion-peso election campaign investments + new budgets for the next elections + billions for their personal offshore bank accounts; (b) politicians' offices and even houses are often swamped by crowds of bottom poor seeking help to finance hospitalization, burials, post-disaster rebuilding, job-seeking, etc. Giving inadequate handouts is political suicide, so one must be ready with large budgets; (c) Almost every politician's net of well-paid influential leaders need massive budgets for P500 to P1,000 'gifts' to voters during elections; (d) Public grapevines consistently circulate about the million-peso needs of Commission on Election 'arrangers' to ensure candidates' election winnability thru manipulation (adding, deducting and transferring) of votes within computer data. Top COMELEC officials being presidential appointees that award vote counting to their chosen computer company arouses much suspicion among the citizenry but they can do nothing about it, as it is 'the law'. (e) Elections for national and local posts become wealth redistribution systems whereby trillions of pesos from politicians and their corporate and elite sponsors get to rain down among the bottom masses. Of course the winners have to recoup their expenses thru 'facilitation fees' on all State contracts that come their parties' way. Considering all these, State corruption within the Philippines and other 3rd World societies where bottom poor come in billions becomes almost a necessity that can never be erased without proper remedies.
So what should be the MC Movt remedies? The corruption-saturated system forces the MC Movement to engage in political plays. The aim: totally eliminate old corrupt cultures thru laws and policies that foster prevention tactics instead of the usual post-crime court actions that are largely ineffective. The MC Movt. strategy hence requires (as part of constitutional change) the following new institutions and laws: (a) a Bid Awards and Controllership Body; (b) a 'Juries of Hundreds' law; (c) a State as Corporation set of laws; (d) a Monetary Congress law; (e) a Peso Purchasing Power Preservation law; (f) a State-Business Research & Development law; (g) A law on Grassroots Election Procedures.
Q1: What is a State Bid Awards & Controllership body? A1: A BACB acts as corruption prevention body and State Controller, corporation style. It's composed of internet-enabled: (a) Retired Civil Service purchasing or operations officers of 2,000 largest State corporations, universities, agencies & bureaus; (b) 1,000 retired officers of the Commission on Audit; (c) 7,000 retired controllers, auditors, operations or purchasing officers of the country's largest companies & MCs. Members should be all volunteers chosen thru raffle by the BACB Secretariat to serve for six years. Ideally, the BACB takes care of economic aspects of State as partner to the old lawyer-dominated Congress, the latter to handle mainly legal aspects, including investigations in aid of legislation. I-Congress should include the present 300 or so elected congressional membership plus top officers of the 5,000 largest mega co-ops being organized these times or operational later. All bill-filing, discussion & voting have to be done thru Congress-BACB secretariat websites. The large number of mega co-op leaderships (big-business top officers, not lawyers) should thereby ensure that laws & programs will be oriented to production for world-scale sales, wealth-generation & democratic wealth-sharing. All economic bills, proposals, national-level franchise applications, business monopolies, State land sales & leases, State infrastructure contracts, foreign agreements & other issues that affect the entire citizenry should be subjected to study by all members of Congress and the BACB as thousand-member committees. Committees should merely present choices for the entire unicameral I-Congress/BACB. No longer should tiny congressional committees created by the dominant party beholden to & dictated by the president solely approve the grant of State rights, privileges, franchises, etc. that negate the voting rights of the entire congressional membership, as what currently happens. I-Congress-BACB should elect a Prime Minister as the MC Movement replaces the current Filipino style Presidential system. The present system enables the president and his party to become almost a dictatorial 'royalty' thru presidential appointment of all major posts in the executive, armed forces, State corporations, Justice systems, Finance & monetary agencies, etc. The effect is dictatorship by a dominant party solidly glued by presidential power to approve budgets, state projects, expenditures, & award of contracts.
What's the more democratic option? I-Congress & the BACB should elect heads of all executive, armed forces, Justice & State corporate sectors, etc. from among themselves in parliamentary fashion. Furthermore, the Philippine Bar's membership should participate in electing all judges, justices, & heads of the Penitentiary & other Justice arms. The result can only be total prevention of old-style presidential near-dictatorships. The consequences: end of political dynasties, multi-party caucus politics, political-party distribution of State largesse (dollar loans, tax breaks, etc.), politics-based State planning, award of State contracts, rights & monopolies to allies of the dominant party, & other traditional causes of pervasive corruption & mass poverty. Hence, to convert politics-based rule into production-oriented, democratic reign, I-Congress with the BACB should work together towards creation of national century-business plans and six-year 'adjustment' plans, with world markets as targets. Mega co-op leaderships have to participate in such plans thru website communications and voting. Other critical I-Congress/BACB functions must include: (a) Ensuring thru a law that rises in overall State budgets do not exceed average GDP growth rate during the past 12 years, to prevent old-style regime overspending that regularly created mountainous State debts, all resulting to endlessly rising prices (inflation) & heavy repayment burdens for businesses & citizenry. State incomes beyond said rate should buy tons of basic industrial metals (copper, nickel, chromite, molybdenum, etc.) to raise the State's international credit worthiness to triple A levels. The hoards will naturally keep rising in value (due to scarcity) compared to all the world's fiat (paper & electronic) money all created out of thin air. With their 'solid' worth, said metal hoards secured within military camps may become bases for grant of international loans to the State at most favorable terms + bottom interest. The hoards may then be 'conditionally pawned' to obtain foreign currency loans (electronic money) for MCs' economic expansions or to address economic crises, disasters, pandemics, wars. etc. Reason: all the world's paper & electronic currencies are not 'solid' (backed by gold or silver) but merely created out of thin air (as promises to pay) which by nature depreciate in value incident to world politicians' tendency to overspend & overborrow. On the contrary, solid industrial metals as State 'true money' hoards appreciate in value because the world's industries need them. The Phil. peso as the only currency partly backed by metals at least during war or severe calamity will hence greatly multiply State credit worthiness even during ordinary times. (b) Ensuring that all State economic plans agree with MC Movt plans (as originators) which by nature are production-oriented. Franchises, licenses, sale, grant & lease of State lands, State monopolies, telecoms permits and other awards of State rights at million peso levels & up should be voted upon via websites by the entire Congress & BACB, not by a tiny Congressional committee or local officials beholden to the President as what currently happens. (c) Ensuring thru a law that State corporations will invest their billions in capital shares or bonds issued by mega co-ops instead of the old practice of politicians commanding their appointees in State companies & agencies to invest in shares of their chosen low-capital, high risk startup companies. Such companies invariably fold up shortly, with major assets already in said politicians' names. (d) Ensuring passage of a Currency Speculation Limitation (CSL) law that prohibits billion-level Central Bank lending to banks & capital companies for anti-deflation purposes to be used in stock market 'gambling' as what currently occurs in 1st World countries, a major cause of massive wealth gaps. A CSL law forces the Central Bank's trillion-peso anti-deflation money creation to be lent out straight to factories, startups & businesses that need expansion funding, thereby invigorating the economy, creating millions of jobs, expanding markets, blocking the incoming deflation (which will worsen mass poverty), stabilizing prices, & helping reduce wealth gaps. (e) Analyzing all State project costings and voting on contractors' bids via websites to ensure no insertions, overprices and 'facilitation fees' offered by bidders. 200 BACB members chosen by raffle should vote per million pesos in project bids. Simple majority wins. Thus, a P10 million project should require 2,000 voters chosen by random, and a P1-billion project's bids should be voted upon by all 10,000 BACB members via websites. The rationale: no contractor or supplier will afford to bribe thousands of 'zero personal contact' cyber approvers. Further, said approver 'names' being all retired face neither 'old times' job pressure nor million-peso 'carrots' from corrupt politicians and their cabals of 'arrangers'. The scheme should nip all corruption plans at budding stage for all time. Furthermore, the 10k-strong BACB retiree membership being former officials and long-experienced experts of top companies and State institutions should know all corruption schemes in State and the corporate world. Moreover, their purchasing experiences will enable them to quickly determine whether submitted projects are reasonably priced, are production-oriented (not politics-based), mass-targeted (not for party benefits), and conform with state-business plans and budgets, They should further ensure from planning to implementation stages, that rises in State budgets & expenditures do not go beyond average GDP rise for the past 12 years as preventive against high inflation & rising taxes. Savings should expand industrial metal hoards to raise international credit worthiness.
Q2: What is a 'Juries of Hundreds' law? A2: A JH law requires all Court decisions to be voted upon (via websites) by several hundred or thousand jurors who are lawyers with few or no cases currently handled. Jury membership number should be according to case 'peso volumes' or gravity of crime. Jury voting shall be via Justice Secretariat websites after court video recordings and jurors' home viewings of court proceedings presided over by a judge elected by the Philippine Bar, not appointed by the President. Regional supreme courts should operate the same way except for fewer number of justices compared to lower courts. The scheme should prevent old-style presidential Justice appointments that made a 'king' and royalty out of the president and his party thru court decisions and actions that largely favor ruling party interests, another major source of corruption. The JH law should end the following Philippine Justice system's 'traditions' that drive away business investments and maintain its ill reputation as among the 'top corrupt' (unworthy of investments) worldwide. Here are major builders of said corruption 'traditions': (a) Only one judge decides on court cases, subjecting him to threats of harm to self and family by politicians & powerful litigants who demand favorable decisions sweetened by huge payouts; (b) Court decisions that favor ruling political parties are popularly suspected as being won based on 'highest bidder' and the said party's choice of judges. 'Parking' the case over long years is another tactic used against complainants with 'tiny' offers. 'Arrangers' ensure that the judge is never involved; (c) Court cases can last 20 or more years or much shorter depending on amount of 'oiling bids', per public perception. Civil cases (land & money disputes) involving ordinary people are notorious for taking decades to resolve; (d) All top judges, including Ombudsman officials are appointed by the President, thereby creating an atmosphere of fear whereby people no longer pursue expensive corruption cases versus the ruling party as anyone who does so will 'surely lose' the case or even one's life. Large-scale investors local and foreign who become subject to million-peso 'oiling' demands by hordes of permit signatories from military to local and national officials would thereby rather invest elsewhere. The impression usually spreads among international business grapevines. (e) All Phil. jails are 20-50x overpopulated by minor offenders waiting for months and years to get a hearing due to scarcity of judges, inmates' inability to afford bribes, endless postponement of cases, and lack of public attorneys to defend the poor. The JH law should end such cultures of injustice thru the same anti-corruption principle stated many times in this blog: 'too many to bribe = no bribe'. The other preventive: 'no threats can work against hundreds of cyber approvers' further ensures raw justice always getting served. The Philippines' large army of lawyers as hundred or thousand-member jurors who base decisions on legal standards familiar to all of them, and unreachable by 'oiling cabals' should render the best Court judgments, compared to those of a single overworked, threatened, and underpaid judge.
Q3: What is a 'State as Corporation' set of laws? A3: It's a legal system that adopts the productive private corporate culture of the Executive as mere implementer of Board decisions. Contrariwise, Phil. bureaucratic practice has for ages converted the President into almost a king thru his power to appoint all top executive officials. All affairs from domestic to foreign, including budgets, State loans, grant of franchises, award of lands and State monopolies, armed forces issues, international agreements, etc., get dictated by the President all by himself or thru his Congressional allies' majority votes. Every regime change, presidential allies multiply in number (becoming the majority voting bloc) fueled by the prospect of Executive awards of funding for allied congressmen's proposed projects. The SAC laws should democratize all such poverty-maintaining 'traditions' thru a unicameral I-Congress where everything is settled by multiple parties as 'Board of Directors', and Executive departments manned by Civil Service personnel & led by I-Congress ministers merely implement based on I-Congress guidelines. As proven by world business over centuries, private corporate culture as source of social wealth requires business feasibility, productivity, profitability, perpetual maintenance of useful assets, prudent use of resources, constant expansion of credit worthiness, continuity of management, ensuring top qualifications for all personnel (no politics), long-term view, and honesty to uphold the company name. All such private corporate virtues are exact opposites of Philippine political regimes' past & current practices and traditions. The SAC law or set of laws should make the State a partner of the business sector in enhancing national productivity that benefit all the people, not just elites and political parties. Additionally, a Mega Coop dominated society whereby the State and MC sectors are largely led by the country's top retired corporate and sectoral skills, and the productive masses are united by a common ideology (mass entrepreneurship) will address poverty and all its associated difficulties on fast-track basis. Entrepreneurial people's self-management becomes the new culture.
Q4: What is a Congress for Monetary Management law? A4: The CMM law replaces the current seven-member Monetary Board (all Presidential appointees) with an internet-enabled Economists' Congress of the country's top banks, plus a Congressional economic committee, a BACB committee, and top mega co-op consortiums' economic committees, the total comprising several hundred of the country's top economic brains. All should work together thru Congressional websites. The targets: (a) prevent total control of the money-creation powers of State by an authoritarian president and his party, as what happened during the 20-year Marcos dictatorship & even later in lesser degrees. Such authoritarian control resulted to regimes' overborrowing that created high inflation, business bankruptcies, reduced State credit-worthiness, & grinding poverty. Concurrently it burdened future Filipinos with heavy debts, raised tax rates, fostered 'facilitation fee' corruption in unproductive projects, handed out billion-peso loans mainly to ruling-party businesses, eroded peso purchasing power and international exchange rates, and enabled politicians' cronies to use State loans to buy majority control in private companies. All such tragedies helped to maintain if not worsen the country's stratospheric wealth gaps. All had been facilitated by a Monetary Board beholden to the president. (b) the CMM law should grant money creation powers only to the CMM, not to the president or Central Bank. Such powers include the sale of State bonds in local and international markets and issuance of trillion peso electronic & paper credits to banks especially during inflationary times. The Central Bank should be mere executor of CMM decisions. The target: prices rising or falling by less than 2% yearly thru Central Bank buying, selling or lending of State bonds as well as creation of currency based on general price movements. The new Monetary Congress with its balance of top brains in the banking, corporate, mega co-op, I-Congress & BACB sectors should be able to determine the ideal currency volumes thru their century business plans & the absence of pressure from an all-powerful president & his political party. The scheme should ensure that the entire society's currency will be used based on corporate ideals, world business targets, price stability, avoidance of high inflation, democratic economics, & final eradication of mass poverty.
Q5: What is a Peso Purchasing Power Preservation law? A5: A 'four P's' law sets up a Peoples' Precious Metals Market managed by the Central Bank and all local banks. The CB thru its Mint manufactures alloyed gold (14k) and silver medals encased in hard plastic with two opposing edge holes for inserting connectors of battery-powered portable probes that read electrical conductivity, ensuring exact volumes and purities. The coins may be in 25, 50, 100 and 200-gram issues, all available for purchase and sale in all banks and pawn shops, their price rates posted on electronic boards. To offset said metals' scarcity, the Mint may also manufacture half-kilo ingots of high-purity nickel, chrome and copper for the same purpose. The aim: Just like elite billionaires who invest in precious and industrial metal hoards, the masses may similarly conserve and 'grow' their wealth thru the people's precious metals market. For the baser metals, the State may set up bullion storehouses within Armed Forces camps or well-guarded buildings to preserve the people's wealth at State insurance cost. Standardized measures as described will prevent arbitrary valuation by buy-sell speculators, thus preserving true and stable market value. The scheme should enable the public to hoard precious metals that rise in value instead of paper & electronic pesos that deteriorate in buying power. Employees may dedicate 10-30% of monthly salaries towards purchase of precious metals, enabling part of their earnings to multiply instead of depreciate. The metal hoards will 'force' the public to spend less to earn more, which dampens demand for goods and services, thus preventing price rises especially during economic booms. Luxury imports will be hit most as people mull the benefits of 'showing off' versus 'earning without working'.
Q6: What form should a people-oriented poverty-alleviating Congress take based on above premises? A6: For the Phils., a unicameral I-Congress (or Parliament in effect) appears to have the most advantages: (a) As in a large-scale private corporation, a unicameral Congress becomes a 'Board of directors' that plans and decides on courses of action thru majority voting. Decisions are implemented thru Executive offices headed by ministers voted by the entire Congress from among themselves. Contrariwise, the current Filipino style republican system empowers the top executive (president) to appoint all top officials in all State agencies, bureaus, corporations, regulatory bodies & the military, as well as top officials of the justice system & the Commission on Elections. Said officials are often recommended by the president's party & allied parties. Congress & all said entities make budgetary plans but because all approvers are beholden to the president, much of the supposedly independent congressional parties & Justice people in quick time gravitate to the president's party to form a super majority that gets its wishes 99% of the time. The president & his party in effect becomes a 'dictatorship of royals' often despite majority of around 300 supposed people's representatives in opposition. 'Royals' personal needs become top priority; the people's needs at the bottom, unless sufficiently lucrative. Party members submit & follow up trillion-peso projects (especially public works) to get 'facilitation fees' from contractors thru untraceable 'arrangers', in the process halving every project cost to substandard levels. All other State activities undergo the same 'facilitation' procedure, including award of licenses & franchises, business permits, land leases & sales, State corporate investments, monopoly rights, etc.
What should then be done? (a) The old Philippine 'party dictatorship' has to be replaced by a truly democratic system led by the country's most accomplished, most experienced, wisest & apolitical mass: retired officials of the largest corporations & State institutions as well as top officers of the largest mega co-op memberships. The new I-Congress should comprise around 300 elected members & 5k top officers of the largest mega co-ops, plus an independent corruption-fighting BACB of 10k retired State & corporate officers all communicating & voting via congressional websites. The large numbers of apolitical, business oriented experts should ensure a govt that targets productivity, job-creation & democratic wealth distribution, which will lead to the demise of ages-old mass poverty. The system should greatly speed up decision-making, since unlike present bicameral systems, bills don't have to 'dribble around' among lower house, upper house and executive committees, all 'dribblers' organized as parties with narrow interests. 'Dribbling' is conducive to maintenance of an oiling culture, endless debates, delaying tactics up to vacation period, grandstanding, short-term thinking, perpetual preparation for the next elections, political dynasties, long party-interest caucuses, State plans changed after each election, and worse, formation of a majority party 'dictatorship;' (b) A poor country's govt. & business sectors need to create a century-business plan with adjustments every 6th year for world-scale marketing by MCs & other local companies. Such plan ensures wise use of all resources, fosters local penetration of world markets, prevents ruinous local competition, and checks politicians' tendencies to overspend; (c) A unicameral I-Congress that forms a century business plan with the MC & business sectors will end old majority party cultures' tendency to change much of the former regime's 6-year old development programs no matter how good they are, another poverty-maintaining political tradition in the Philippines. Continuity of MCs' State-supported world-scale operations should ensure quadrillion-level wealth endlessly raining down upon the masses as part-owners of MCs; (d) State-business plans in century & six-year stages will involve the country's top corporate minds as committees habituated to production, profitability and asset conservation values. It's the direct opposite of current practice whereby Executive and Congressional committees of mainly lawyers who are trained and experienced only in regulation of people, businesses and everything else perform almost all of the planning and implementation. Contrary to current culture whereby lawyer-politicians consider spending as the duty of State, and paying for State expenditures as the duty of the business sector & citizenry, a unicameral Congress with top MC & corporate brains steering it will tend to focus on enriching the entire citizenry and economy thru the entire adult population working together. (e) To further prevent the President and his party from acting as 'king and royalties' who are further entrenched by military support, the constitution should require the I-Congress and BACB (not the President) to vote and appoint all senior military and police officers. Not beholden to a single 'king' nor to anyone among 15k or so electors, all top military and police officers will hence only follow the law both in letter and intent, instead of bowing to all the president's wishes, righteous or otherwise, as in the era of the Marcos dictatorship and subsequent less-grievous but still authoritarian regimes.
Q7: What is a state/business Research and Development law? A7: It's a law that budgets 10% of all State proceeds from taxes, bonds and other income sources each year towards set-up and operation of R&D laboratories-for-hire for all Science lines. The labs should include prototyping facilities for mega co-ops, universities and private companies to commercialize inventions for world markets. All labs should be managed by scientific, engineering, professional and technology associations' assigned officers (no politicians). The labs should address the Philippines' near-total lack of locally invented products and technologies that sell to world markets. As world history shows, the true 'secret' of 1st World societies are its corporate, State & university R&D labs which started in mid 1800s. Said 'nests for endless inventions' produced over 25 million patents plus 300,000 more technologies under patenting process yearly from mid-1800s to 1900s, and even more these times. Just 6% or so of said inventions were actually commercialized and their products sold worldwide by large-scale companies and stock market funds, yet they created the 1st World with its 99% middle and upper classes. Millions of technologies are therefore available for MCs to license or improve upon, the resultant products for sale to world markets. An R&D law should help to paint an endlessly colorful horizon for the long-suffering Philippine masses.
Q8: What's a Grassroots Election Procedure (GEP) law? A8: It's a law that requires the conduct of elections and counting of final results to be performed by local governments in simultaneous batches of just a thousand or so voters ('Barangay' or large neighborhood groupings) via commercial internet provider, all results of counting & recording being open to the public for checking. Neighborhood officials personally acquainted with their constituents are conscious of their 'name', thus much more trustworthy than current Commission on Elections officials all appointed by the president & handling everything that involve elections. Additionally, a commercial internet provider (say Google) using cloud computing saves every data inputted into read-only memory by every password-coded voter on numerous computers for all eternity. Post elections, any voter or group may hence check inputted personal, local or regional votes at any time, ensuring zero cheating, very low operational costs, & no public complaints or suspicions, since full transparency rules.
Conclusion: No true political democracy can exist without economic democracy. In the Philippines where over 60% of 110 million citizens are Primary and Elementary level bottom poor, party-based representative democracy will always ensure political rule and economic victory by elites and their political allies. Every election period since independence year 1946, political parties had been shouting out the same promise of ending mass poverty, but not one delivered. This blog addresses the tragedy by presenting ways by which the working masses may finally solve the problem by becoming mass entrepreneurs or capitalists earning high dividend & capital stock income thru mega co-op corporate groups. All the while jobs in millions endlessly get created for bottom masses with the help of Mega Co-ops, employee group 'sideline' businesses & corporate, State and international sectors. When the entire citizenry becomes empowered by their Movt to directly determine their incomes & social class, they will tend to self-manage their economy instead of sticking to old cultures whereby a few self-seeking elites constantly define the entire country's fate.
Read the next post that uses common logic to show that MC Movt principles and schemes are in complete agreement with human ethic instincts gifted by the Creator to all humanity as tools for creating happiness on earth.
