1. I’m intrigued by the claim that standards of living will double within one generation. Assuming you intend this to apply to everyone who lives in the U.S., how will everyone have a doubled standard of living? Assuming a doubled standard of living means twice as much of everything, where will all of this extra stuff come from? Will everyone work twice as much, or will everyone be twice as productive?
2. What do you mean when you predict a 2.5% efficiency increase of the system?
3. How can everybody win under NESARA’s new rules? If somebody wins, somebody else has to lose.

We believe our web site contains the answers to your question. We encourage you to explore what we have provided. Please keep in mind that what we have provided is the culmination of many years of research, which explains why there is so much information available.

However, we have answered your question in a short essay found here.

Please be encouraged to further investigate our web site. We also encourage you to contact senators and representative. We need this done and this can be accomplished only by grass root supporters like you. With minimal grass roots support, Congress will be left with no option but to pass the bill.

Consider asking your representatives what he or she thinks about NESARA. Is he or she for or against the bill? Load your question with something like “are you in favor of doubling the average American standard of living in one generation” or “are you in favor of immediately reducing the national public debt by more than a trillion dollars.” When your representative responds affirmatively, let him or her know the plan is already available and has been for 10 years. Or place a copy of the bill in his or her hand. All that is missing is the publicity. As soon as America discovers NESARA, they will demand action.

What do you mean when you predict a 2.5% efficiency increase of the system?

We are referring to the improved efficiency of the tax collection system. The number we use throughout this web site of 2.5% is an estimate.

Consider that some studies have estimated that a loaf of bread is taxed 30 times before the consumer purchased the loaf.

Forget about the tax itself and just think about the cost of collecting that tax, the expenses of government and business to keep and process records, and the unpaid nonproductive labor of the taxpayers. Assume the total collection cost alone amounts to some small value, say 8 cents per $100. Now compound that 8 cents 30 times and you are approaching $2.40 per $100, or close to 2.5%.

Because of the disincentive of the income tax on productive activity, the actual losses might be considerably higher than 8 cents per $100, but we can live with that number as an estimate.

Improving the efficiency of the tax collection system means a directly related drop in costs—in business and government, which means a related drop in prices, which means an increase in purchasing power. For everybody.

Of course, for this discussion we have ignored the actual hidden embedded costs of the income tax and have discussed only the improved efficiency. Studies indicate that the hidden embedded costs add as much as 30% to the final cost of a product or service.

In reality, nobody knows what the final gains will be but nobody claims they will be negative, that is for sure.
 

How can everybody win under NESARA’s new rules? If somebody wins, somebody else has to lose.

You are describing what game theorists call a “zero-sum” game. That is, although some people take home more than they brought, others take home less. That is, the net effect is zero but individual participants experience different results.

Although true for lots of things, as in many closed systems, that theory doesn’t hold for everything, especially open systems. A key element is whether production contributes to the equation. In most zero-sum games, there is no production, only distribution. A poker game is an example.

Any basic transaction in the free market is a good example of introducing production. Parties trade assets with one another, but neither party would trade unless they perceived they were receiving the better bargain. By mixing labor with natural resources, both parties increase the overall value of the market. There is a net gain. If the free market was a closed system with no production then your observation might have foundation. Left alone without interference, however, everybody benefits and nobody loses.

NESARA is designed to reduce that interference by changing the rules of how monetary and fiscal policy operate.

If existing fiscal and monetary policy isn’t incredibly obtuse, at best those policies are ill-advised. Imprudent policies hurt everybody. These policies are not immutable laws of nature and are nothing but long-standing customs of merchants, arbitrary statutory laws enacted by various legislative bodies, and outdated bureaucratic procedures. That is, the rules are often artificial and arbitrary!

Fiscal and monetary policies are administered in the name of the people, allegedly for the public good, and the people have the right and power to change them. NESARA offers sensible modifications to current monetary and fiscal policy. Eliminate the damage caused by irrational behavior and everybody is better off. Nobody loses, everybody wins!
