The Great Tithe

The problem as I see it…

There stands, at this moment, in existence on this planet, all the resources, energy, wealth, currency to organize a world with zero poverty, zero starvation, zero disease.

We, us, Humanity, COULD design systems where everybody, every single human being, had top notch health care, education, access to travel. We could make the earth a single administrative district with life being the only qualification necessary to receive benefit.

This could be done simply.

So, if this is not the present state of things then there must be some force making it the way that it is. Some forces maintaining the systems that breed inequality and degradation. These forces have control over certain aspects of society which are then used like levers to move things in one direction or another.

The one thing they all have in common is that they do not acknowledge the pure and simple fact:

If all Humans are equal then the entirety of the Earth belongs equally to all. This would include all the natural resources, minerals, fish, oil: every natural thing is owned in group trust to every Child of Planet Earth.

The answer…

The Great Tithe

Since the Earth and its resources belong EQUALLY to every Human being that is alive.

And, since for a company to have access and make use of natural resources it must pay the rightful owner royalties on the profits gained from said resource.

Then, every company of the oil, mining, logging industries, and all industries that take from the bounty of natural resources for private profit must pay a 1/10% royalty into a fund. This fund will be accessible by EVERY LIVING HUMAN BEING. (fingerprint accessed internet accounts) Each year the amount of money would be divided up so that each human was deposited an equal share in their personal account.

And every company that refuses to contribute to this fund should lose its access to our resources.

This in no way makes up for the centuries of exploitation and theft that has taken place on this Planet. The Great Tithe will go a tremendous way towards solving the problems that that theft and exploitation created.

Sincerely,

Black Progressive
