Dear Vic,
Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it. However, I will not be pursuing the
Social Credit subject, so I need really not trouble you any further.
I came across the subject quite by chance at a time when I grandly imagined I
had come up with a more efficient tax-gathering system which I had proposed
to out Minister of Finance with whom I had been in correspondence. I was, as
a good citizen, looking for a way that would even the tax burden over the
broadest base and at the same time eliminate the many ways by which the
higher-earners can avoid tax with the ready and able assistance of the army
of Tax Consultants. The middle-earners end up making a disproportionate
contribution to the State Revenue. Then when I read 'Social Credit' by Major
Douglas I jumped at it thinking: Wow!! This is it!
However, the more I listen in to the discussions on the List, the more obvious
it is that, even when my own objections have been overcome, it is not going
to be an instant solution to the large discrepancy in quality of life that
exists today between those who are wage-earners and those who have no source
of income at all other than grants they receive from the state.
If I thought I could see SC up and running somewhere in the world before I
die, I might have a differnet view -- but I don't see that happening. In the
meantime our government, consisting mainly of the movement that brought some
freedom and democracy to this country, is doing quite a good job of juggling
the demands of our global partners on the one hand and, on the other hand,
the need to develope localised industry to serve the marginalised majority of
our citizens. Nelson Mandela and his compatriots set something good in
motion which I -- and others lacking in a certain Afro-pessimism that
bedevils some -- are watching play out in our country. So I will now leave it
to them.
However, I will still be on the list listening in to the discussions.
Kind regards,
Jessop.
