Ano Ang Living Income Guaranteed? Part 10: Paano Natin Ipatutupad ang Living Income Guaranteed?



Paano Natin Ipatutupad Ang Living Income Guaranteed?


Sa pamamagitan ng isang pampulitikang panukala , na maaaring matamo sa pamamagitan ng mga bagong partidong pampulitika na may mekanismong ganito bilang key card nila upang makakuha ng maraming boto para matiyak ang pagkakaruon ng Fundamental Human Rights sa pamamagitan ng Living Income Guaranteed. Ito ay nangangahulugan na ang karapatan na makakuha ng Living Income ay dapat na ibigay sa isang konstitusyunal na batayan - ito ay isang national -based system na constituted sa political level at magagawang pagbotohan sa loob ng isang demokratikong proseso batay sa prinsipyo na ang bawa't isang tao ay may isang boto.

Ano Ang Living Income Guaranteed? Part 9: Ang Mga Pampublikong Serbisyo Ba Ay I-na-Nationalize Din ?





Ang Mga Pampublikong Serbisyo Ba Ay I-na-Nationalize Din ?

Ang Health care, edukasyon , tubig , kuryente , telekomunikasyon , media , at mga bangko ay i - na-nationalize din . Dapat i-assess ng bawat bansa ang kanilang mga magagamit na resources para ang gobyerno ay kumita upang pondohan ang Living Income Guaranteed.

Ano Ang Living Income Guaranteed? Part 8: Paano Ito Malalagyan Ng Pondo?




Paano ito malalagyan ng Pondo?

Sa pamamagitan ng pag-na-nationalize ng mga resources , mga bangko at mga pangunahing serbisyo na nangangahulugan na kung , halimbawa , ang iyong langis , gas , tubig , kuryente , telekomunikasyon , transportasyon ay tinutukoy bilang minana ng mga tao sa lupa , ang kita na galing mula sa pagkonsumo /pagbili ng naturang mga kalakal at mga serbisyo ay dapat sapat upang pondohan ang Living Income Guaranteed para sa karapat-dapat na mga indibidwal . Ang ibig sabihin nito ay hindi kailangang magkaroon ng personal na pagbubuwis ngunit sa halip panatilihin ang VAT ( Value Added Tax ) upang magpatuloy ang pagpopondo ng mga mga functions ng gobyerno - ito din ay sa loob ng mga pagsasaalang-alang na dahil tumataas ang kapangyarihan ng mga tao na bumili at pagtaas ng consumer base na lalaki dahil dito , ang mga pondo na nagmumula sa VAT ay tataas at maglilikha ito ng higit pang kakayahan sa pagbabayad ng utang sa budget ng pamahalaan , na kung saan magkakaruon ng mas mataas na kalidad ng pampublikong kapakanan.

Kaya sa Living Income Guaranteed may isang bagay na mahalaga sa buhay: walang isa mang tao sa sistema, walang mamamayan na magbabayad ng buwis - lahat ng mga buwis ay facilitated sa pamamagitan ng alinman sa value added tax o sales tax o import duties. Kung mayroon ka ng isang sistema ng gobyerno na responsable dahil mayroon kang isang sistema kung saan ang bawat isa ay gumagana nang epektibo sa loob ng sistema , hindi mo kailangan ng labis na buwis, ang inyong tax ay ginagamit para sa mga bagay tulad ng roadwork , transport facilitation - lahat ng bagay na maaaring  mapangasiwaan 'sa loob ng sistema' .

Isa sa mga bagay na maaaring epektibonng gumana rin sa isang bansa ay ang magkaroon ng isang toll tax sa mga kalsada na pinamamahalaan ng gobyerno at ito ay magpapanatili ng mga kalsada sa naturang mga lugar , kung kaya ayon sa paggamit ng isang kalsada ay ang halaga ng buwis na babayaran mo , ngunit sa proposal na ito walang income tax , kaya walang tao na magbabayad para sa kanino mang Living Income Guaranteed , ito ay manggagaling sa mga resource companies kumg saan ang lahat ng tao sa bansa ay kasali at ang sales tax  o ang value added tax ay magiging ayon sa paglahok mo sa loob ng isang partikular na sistema - ito ay isang patas na paraan ng pagharap sa koleksyon ng buwis ng gobyerno.

Ito ay naglalahad kung paano pinalalaki ang pamamahagi ng mga kayamanan at kita sa mga hindi nakikinabang sa commercialization ng natural resources at mga pangunahing serbisyo , at dahil sa pare-pareho ang consumption at kinakailangan ng mga ito , makatitiyak tayo na ang pundasyon ng Living Income Guaranteed ay palaging mananatiling sustainable at magkakaroon ng sapat na pondo upang maipambayad sa mga gastusin ng beneficiaries.

Ang isa pang halimbawa ay kung paano sa pamamagitan ng pagtigil ng paglalaan ng pera para pondohan ang digmaan, ang trillions of  dollars (o Billions of pesos) na ginugugol sa industriya ng digmaan ay  maaaring italaga sa pag revitalize ng ekonomiya sa pamamagitan ng pagpopondo ng Living Income Guaranteed at pagsuporta sa pangangalaga ng kalusugan , edukasyon , commerce , production industries at basic na mga serbisyo na kailangan upang mapabuti ang kundisyon ng pamumuhay sa loob ng bahay.

Ano Ang Living Income Guaranteed? Part 7: Papanghinain Ba Ng Living Income Guarantee Ang Kumpetisyon at Lilikha Ba Ito Ng Kawalan Ng Pang-ekonomiyang Pagkilos Sa Lipunan?




Papanghinain Ba Ng Living Income Guarantee Ang  Kumpetisyon at Lilikha Ba Ito Ng Kawalan Ng Pang-ekonomiyang Pagkilos Sa Lipunan?

Hindi.Taliwas dito, gagawin nito ang kabaliktaran. Kung bibigyan natin ng bagong kahulugan ang kumpetisyon bilang ang kakayahang makamit ang pinakamahusay na kondisyon ng naninirahan sa isang lipunan , sa pamamagitan ng paglaan ng Allowance sa bawat indibidwal na karapat-dapat dito, na dati ay walang access sa mga ito , aming sinisiguro ang activation ng ekonomiya at magu-udyok ito sa tao na magtrabaho kung nais nila na magkaroon ng isang mas malaking kakayahang pang-ekonomiyang sa pagbabayad ng utang upang masakop ang iba pang mga kagustuhan ng consumer para dagdagan ang mga kakailanganin nito na hindi mababayaran ng Living Income Guaranteed. Gayundin , walang limitasyon sa kung magkano ang perang kikitain mo o ng mga korporasyon hangga't ang kanilang mga negosyo ay hindi makakagambala sa anumang paraan sa pag-na - nationalize ng likas na yaman o mga pangunahing pampublikong serbisyo  - ito ang kundisyon . Ito ay nangangahulugan na ang mga patakaran ng isang free market ay mag-a-apply pa rin at sa gayon, ang tanging constitutional at government management ay magiging ang pangangasiwa ng pagpapatupad ng Living Income Guaranteed, pati na rin ang pagsasagawa ng karaniwang maintenance, pamamahala at pampublikong provision ng mga goods at ng justice department.

Mas lalo mong ihahanda  ang iyong sarili , mas magkakaruon ka ng mahusay na trabaho, at mas maraming benepisyong matatanggap na ang ibig sabihin ay kikita ka rin ng mas maraming pera . Ang pagkakaruon ng Kumpetisyon ay nangangahulugan ng pagbabago mo na mas makabubuti sa sarili upang magsagawa ng aktibidad sa pinakamahusay na paraan at ito ay isang mahalagang bahagi ng likas na katangian ng tao na magtaguyod ng kompetisyon sa ating lipunan, ang pagbabago nito at sng pagiging creative nito sa isang lokal at pandaigdigang antas .

Makikita mo rin na magkaroon ka ng malayang pagpili sa kung aling trabaho ang pinakamahusay para sa iyo sa halip na nakatuon ka sa mga trabahng may kontrata na batay sa pangangailangan sa halip na kagustuhan o choice. Ito ang paraan upang ipatupad ang isang tunay na etikal na kapaligiran rin sa trabaho,, kung saan wala nang pagsasamantala na nangyayari dahil ang anumang trabaho ay hindi magiging resulta ng isang pangangailangan na magtrabaho upang mabuhay , kundi magiging isang paraan at insentibo upang pataasin ang kalidad ng buhay .

Ano Ang Living Income Guaranteed? Part 6 Bakit Ang Pagpapatupad Ng Living Income Guaranteed Ay Isang Agarang Solusyon Sa Pang-Ekonomiyang Krisis ?




Bakit Ang Pagpapatupad Ng Living Income Guaranteed Ay Isang Agarang Solusyon Sa Pang-Ekonomiyang Krisis?

Higit pa sa isang solusyon sa krisis , dapat nating maunawaan na ito ay isang paraan na masiguro na ang Fundamental Human Rights ng bawat indibidwal ay maayos na pinondohan sa pamamagitan ng paglalaan ng Allowance para ma-access ang mga kinakailangang mga bagay ng isang nilalang upang mabuhay sa isang marangal na paraan - ito ay base sa prinsipyo ng 'give unto others what you want to receive', at kung gusto nating mamuhay sa isang matahimik na lipunan , at upang magkaroon tayo ng isang masaya at malusog na buhay, dapat nating bigyan ng access ang mga tao sa Allowance / Income na ito bilang isang katiyakan na mabubuhay tayo ng may dignidad na pupuksa sa pangangailangang mag-resort sa krimen , paghingi ng limos sa kalsada , kawalan ng tahanan , hindi sapat na edukasyon , pangangalagang pangkalusugan na nagreresulta sa paurong na takbo ng ekonomiya na nakakaapekto sa bawat indibidwal sa lipunan.

Ito ay karaniwang nangangahulugan na kung bibigyan natin ng Allowance ang bawat eligible na  indibidwal   na maging well nourished , may mabuting kondisyon ng pamumuhay na may access sa kinakailangang mga pangunahing serbisyo, pangangalaga ng kalusugan at pangangailangan ng oras para magilibang, susulpot mula dito ang mga mas edukadong indibidwal. Ma-re-realize natin na kung bibigyan natin ang tao ng suporta para magkaruon ng kita upang makakuha ng mga kinakailangan para mabuhay, matututo din tayong magbigay pabalik sa lipunan. Ito ay dapat maunawaan bilang isang buhay na prinsipyo na naaangkop sa bawat nilalang dito sa lupa na higit pa sa anumang pampulitika , panlipunan , relihiyon o ideological na affiliation. Ang sinasabi namin ay tungkol sa pisikal na pangangailangan sa buhay na kailangan ng lahat ng tao para mabuhay ng may dignidad  at maipagpatuloy ito. .

Karagdagan pa dito , maraming mga trabaho ang pinapalitan ng mga makna , na kung saan ay mangangailangan ng higit pang mga proseso upang Muling mabuo ito sa ating ekonomiya at ma-upgrade ang premise na  'mabubuhay tayokung tayo'y mag ta-trabaho' dahil kung ang trabaho ay kasalukuyang hindi available sa lahat - hindi natin alintana ng pagkakaroon ng degree sa kolehiyo at ng kinakailangang mga kasanayan upang magkaroon ng trabaho - datapwat ito ay tiyak na isang bagong pag-unawa ng ating ekonomiya na dapat na maunawaan natin na ito ay isang mekanismo na susuporta sa lahat ng indibidwal kaysa isang paghihigpit at pamimilit  lamang.

Nuong nakalipas na panahon, ang mga pang-matagalang patakaran at treaties ay nagtangkang bigyan ng benefisyo ang mga mangagawa, at ito ay napatunayang hindi mabisa para sa mga mahigpit na mga patakarang ipinatutupad ng mga korporasyon pati na rin ang pang-ekonomiyang outflows na nalihis ang effectiveness. Inilalahad dito kung paano sa pagkakaruon ng direct intervention upang makapagibigay ng Living Income bilang isang Allowance at pagdodoble ng minimum na pasahod, ang problema ay idinidirekta natin sa pinagmumulan nito sa halip na  umasa tayo sa sa third party actors at mga patakaran para lutasin o bigyan ng solusyon ang mga sitwasyon sa mahabang panahon.

Ano Ang Living Income Guaranteed? Part 5: Ano Ang Mapupulos Ng Mga Korporasyon Sa Pagsasakatuparan Ng Living Income Guaranteed?




Ano Ang Mapupulos Ng Mga Korporasyon Sa Pagsasakatuparan Ng Living Income Guaranteed?

Ang isang mas malawak na consumer base o grupo ng mga consumer na paulit-ulit bumibili ng mga kalakal o serbisyo ng korporasyon kung saan ito ay magiging isang pangunahing pinagkukunan ng kita para sa korporasyon. Ang mga tao na dati ay walang pera para mabuhay at hindi aktibo sa ekonomiya ay biglang magiging aktibong kalahok sa ekonomiya na kung saan ay matitiyak na ang mga korporasyon ay magkakaruon ng mas malaking kita, kung saan makikita rin natin na kung mas maraming tao o mamimili ang susulpot, magkakaroon ng higit pang profit na maaaring magamit upang maging mas mahusay ang kundisyon ng mga trabahador, upang lumiit ang kawili-wili o nakakakapanabik na produksyon ng mga produkto at sa halip ay iangkop ang mga presyo upang gumawa ng mga bagay na may presyong abot-kaya ng tao, na may mahusay na kalidad at nagbibigay ng isang ligtas at maayos na working base, pati na rin ang pag pondo ng korporasyon sa automation ng mga trabaho na kasalukuyang ginagawa ng mga tao sa mapanganib na kapaligiran kung saan naaapektohan nito ang kalusugan ng mga taong nag-ta-trabahado dito.
Mararamdaman ng mga manggagawa na suportado sila at mahalaga sila sa kanilang mga employer, at magreresulta ito sa pagkakaruon ng mga indibidwal na hindi na nakakaramdam na pressured sila at sila ay isa lamang profit -making machine, kung hindi, magiging masaya sila, magiging kontento at ma re-realize nila na ang kanilang trabaho ay tunay na ginagantimpalaan at ang kanilang oras at kontribusyon sa korporasyon ay isang life -time investment - ang tunay na halaga talaga ng kanilang labor. Ang isang indibidwal na nagtatrabaho at nakatatanggap ng gantimpala na tunay na katumbas ng kanilang labor ay bubuo ng isang mas masayang lipunan na hindi na takot sa hindi pagkakaroon ng sapat na pera para pakainin ang kanilang pamilya, ito ay magiging simula ng isang bagong panahon kung saan may kalidad ang mga produkto na magbibigay ng dignidad sa buhay ng tao na tunay na nagnanais na mapabuti ang kanilang uri ng pamumuhay .

Ano Ang Living Income Guaranteed? Part 4: Nangangahulugan Ba Ito Na Ang Mga May Trabaho Ay Hindi Makakakuha Ng Living Income Guaranteed?


Nangangahulugan ba ito na ang mga may trabaho ay hindi makakakuha ng Living Income Guaranteed?

Oo, gayunpaman ipina-panukala namin na ang Minimum na Sahod ay Doblehin ( 2x ng Living Income Allowance) , na nangangahulugan na magkakaroon ng isang serye ng mga reporma upang unang maganap ang paggawa ng Living Income Guaranteedkung saan may sapat na Allowance na ibinibigay upang masakop ang mga pangunahing pangangailangan sa buhay, na kung saan ay sa loob ng konteksto ng aming kasalukuyang ekonomiya ito ay Higit sa aming kasalukuyang pamantayan ng Minimum na Sahod .

Ang allowance na ito ay dapat sapat para sa isang indibidwal na magkaroon ng marangal na kondisyon ng pamumuhay na merong garantisadong access sa kanilang mga pangunahing karapatang pantao dahil siya ay isinilang dito sa mundo: Pagkain, Tubig , Pabahay , Healthcare , Edukasyon , Damit , Transportasyon , Pampublikong Serbisyo, atbp.

Ngayon, upang ma-motivate ang mga tao upang magtrabaho, ang bagong minimum na pasahod ay dapat na Doble ng Living Income Guaranteed sa mga pinaka-karaniwang aktibidad sa ating ekonomiya, na sa sandaling ito ay nauugnay sa manggagawa sa retail businesses, mga waiters , mga Kahero , mga manggagawa sa transportation businesses, fast food industries, atbp .

Kaya, kahit sino na tunay na nagnanais na magkaroon ng isang mataas na kalidad ng pamumuhay ay hindi kontento sa pagkuha lamang ng minimum bilang ang Living Income, ngunit ang patuloy na pag-e-educate sa kanilang sarili , pagbuo ng karagdagang mga kasanayan upang gumawa ng mas maraming pera at magkaroon ng higit na kakayahan sa pananalapi at magkaruon ng probisyon para magbayad ng utang .

Ano Ang Living Income Guaranteed? Part 3: Bakit Hindi Unconditional Ang Living Income Guaranteed?



Bakit Hindi Unconditional Ang Living Income Guaranteed?

Ang dahilan kung bakit hindi ito ibinibigay sa lahat ng mga tao unconditionally ay dahil ito ay papanghinain ang pagpapanatili ng isang pang-ekonomiyang sistema na nangangailangang ang mga tao ay ma-motivate upang turuan ang kanilang sarili at magtrabaho upang paganahin ang pagpapatuloy at pag-andar ng ating lipunan.

Ano Ang Living Income Guaranteed? Part 2: Bakit Ito Tinatawag Na Living Income At Hindi Basic Income?

Tinatawag ito na 'Living Income' dahil hindi lamang ito magbibigay sa bawa't isa ng minmum na kailangan upang mabuhay, ito ay nagpapahiwatig ng sapat na allowance na makakasakop ng mga pangunahing gastos na kailangan para sa isang marangal na pamumuhay - Bakit? Dahil ito ay mabibigay ng gana sa tao upang maabot ang kanilang creative na potensyal para bumalik sa trabaho, maging malaya mula sa Living Income at makiambag sa pagpapatuloy na pagunlad ng ekonomiya.

Nangangahulugan ito na ang Living Income Guaranteed ay kailangang ibigay sa lahat ng mga indibidwal na hindi lumalahok sa kasalukuyan sa anumang mga pang-ekonomiyang aktibidad dahil sa kakulangan ng mga trabaho / edukasyon / kalusugan. Gayunpaman yuong mga tao na hindi lumalahok sa anumang mga pang-ekonomiyang aktibidad ngunit mayroong sapat na pera upang mabuhay dahil sa, halimbawa, kayamanan ng pamilya, inheritance o anumang iba pang mga regular na income ay hindi kwalipikado at hindi rin nangangailangan ng Living Income Guaranteed.

Government Shutdown: Favorable Solution?




After my partner told me that there could be a government shutdown midnight last night, which is Oct.1, 2013,  i asked him what a government shutdown mean? He said he heard about a Government shutdown that happened in 1995 but did not really notice obvious economic or political changes at that time.

We are so preoccupied trying to survive in this world, that we do not notice what's going on around us. We are so used to seeing homeless people on the streets that we are only aware of something when it directly threatens our financial or physical survival.

We do not notice that the lives of the homeless are threatened daily on the streets by the weather, hunger, violence, abuse etc This daily grind to survive makes us apathetic to the suffering of others. We just drive cars going to Washington, wearing nice suits without taking a look at the homeless human sleeping on the streets with cardboard boxes to protect them from the cold. We agree or disagree with our fellow politicians without seeing that whatever decision we make will affect other's lives for 'better or worse'. We just do not care enough for Life because we are so used living Life caring only about ourselves, our family and our own groups or parties.

So, i watched CNN news to find out more about the Government shutdown and found the following explanation.

CNN) -- For the reigning super power and the largest economy in the world, it's an egg-on-your-face moment.
For the first time in 17 years, the U.S. government shut down as its democratically-elected politicians could not come to an agreement over a spending bill. This stalemate closed non-essential services, sending 800,000 federal workers home without pay as lawmakers bickered about who was to blame. The shutdown could cost the economy about $1 billion a week.
The clash between Republicans and Democrats rages over the 2010 Affordable Care Act, the signature health care law of U.S. President Barack Obama.
http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/01/world/shutdown-in-tweets/index.html?sr=sharebar_facebook

 Is this a disagreement between 2 political parties over Obama Care?

Blaming each other?

Next time we elect a government official we have to be sure that these people will be able to decide from the basis of what will benefit all - the citizens, and not decide according to what is best for ones interest - political, financial etc.

Can you imagine if in your own family for example, when your parents cannot agree with one another with regards to the monthly budget because your father wants to buy a healthcare insurance but your mother does not agree with him and she says the price of this insurance coverage is so much, and as a result of this, the living room is locked down? Fortunately it will not be the kitchen nor the toilet, otherwise it would be a problem, because if you cannot use the toilet when you wake up in the morning in your own house, that will be a problem.

The fact is that all these politicians have money and will not lose their job.

The question is:
In this 'tug-of-war' happening within the Government shutdown, some are winning and some are losing. The ego wins. The ones with money win. The politicians have money and will retain their jobs. They win. 

But in essence, we all lose because  there are people who will be out of jobs, the poor will still be poor and government agencies will have less employees to process documents we need. Depending on the length of this 'impasse' if this will go on for weeks or months, this will impact the economy and can affect trading with other countries etc.

I am questioning the starting point of these political decisions made by the politicians involved in this Government shutdown.

First of all, there are the poor sleeping on the sidewalk while the politicians and the elite sleep in warm beds going to the White house and Congress driving cars and the people who voted for them are now looking at them and wondering why they are just concerned about their own political party politics when in their campaign speeches they promised us they will uphold what is best for us, the citizens?

But, in as much as there are people who says the shutdown will be devastating to the economy, i was surprised that this investment banker said 'it is a healthy thing':

In this blog, i will go over the interview done by Bloomberg TV's "Market Maker's" to Ken Moelis, Founder and CEO of Moelis & Co, former UBS Investment Bank President.

The newscaster asked him this Question :
If you are down there, not that you will get paid by now, what will you be telling this guys to do? How will you bring them to the table to finally agree on something?

This is what he said:

'Well look, let's be clear, when corporations negotiate its often a win-win situation, you try to put them together, 2 entities trying to accomplish the same thing - profits for the shareholders, its a whole different thing.'

He continued on to say...

'I see this as an unbelievably healthy thing, because there's no other country in the world that has this level of debate over serious topics. We're talking about 1/6th of our economy on the future of health care, probably the single most important decision everyone of us will make from here for the rest of our lives and in no other time in the world will we have this level of debate over principle, philosophy.....'

'I think there is a fundamental philosophical differences, this is not a minor difference..how the health care system is run. This is what governments do, and by the way i walked here it's a beautiful day, there's no tanks in the streets, everybody seems to be moving, nobody called, if this is a parliamentary government we probably have called a vote of no confidence and had a new election, this is actually why the United States is the best place to invest in the world because we can continually debate the future of our government and our policies and we can do it the way we're doing it right now.'

'I believe the only way to fix these things is to bring Free market principles into these things right now.'

'Go to a hospital someday and when they ask you for a test ask what the price is. It will be 3 days before they can tell you the price.and price is an important function, so who do i side with? I'll side with anything that pushes these decisions down to the individual so that they can decide how they would individually spend their money in the marketplace to get the solution they want.'

' I think the economy is growing less than we like i mean, some 2 percent in GDP but i see the innovation and the corporations that we deal with are on their front foot. They are trying to figure out how to bring down cost, how to consolidate, how to bring synergy that's why the m and m market - it is what i wouldn't call booming but it is vibrant again '

'I do think that if GDP will go up 3-4 % we'll have you know you get back to booming but well you get back to more robust, i wont say blooming but i think you have a pretty healthy business environment. People are trying to use creativity, innovation to overcome what is a low growth environment. '

http://www.bloomberg.com/video/shutdown-unbelievably-healthy-for-u-s-moelis-Io_IjgOwQRujdCmmx2mLvg.html?cmpid=otbrn.video

I am questioning the investment banker's perspective in the interview above this blog.

He's an investment guy so he has experienced being in a negotiation, but we have to investigate what he said and ask ourselves,

Is this best for all or just best for the few - the elite?


Who is winning when corporations negotiate'? 

The 2 corporations win.

But where does the money go?

To both corporations.

Both these 2 corporations win, because winning means how much money you have in this world system. the share holders win.

From the amount of money you have will be measured your survival in this world.

What this really mean is that the elite wins.

The water and the oil corporation executives has to ask themselves, if we are profiting from the resources given by the earth, we have to give the poor a share to all these profits, because the resources of the earth was given to all of us here. But would they? no.

Who loses?

The poor who continues to be poor. In essence we all lose because we affect each other because we are part of the whole that is Life,where when one lose,We All Lose.

Investigate the real solution that is best for all because essentially, it is also what is best for the individual:
Basic/Living Income Guaranteed

Pork Barrel 8: Lawmakers Named, Luxury Cars Named and We've Only Seen The Tip Of The Iceberg


There are some individuals and non governmental agencies named in the pork barrel scam, 

http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/326182/news/specialreports/pork-patrons-47-reps-gave-nearly-a-billion-pesos-to-dubious-ngos

23 Lawmakers Plus Popular Names Linked to Pork Barrel Scam:

'Five senators and 23 members of the House of Representatives allegedly made available their pork barrel funds to dummy nongovernment organizations for purported ghost projects worth P10 billion over the past decade, according to affidavits submitted to the National Bureau of Investigation.'

http://2010presidentiables.wordpress.com/2013/07/15/revilla-enrile-estrada-marcos-lanette-23-other-lawmakers-contributed-their-pork-barrel-funds-to-p10b-mother-of-all-scams-pdi/#more-7025

Expensive cars of the alleged mastermind in the Pork Barrel Scam were allegedly acquired through the money:

http://2010presidentiables.wordpress.com/2013/07/15/revilla-enrile-estrada-marcos-lanette-23-other-lawmakers-contributed-their-pork-barrel-funds-to-p10b-mother-of-all-scams-pdi/#more-7025
'Also identified were expensive vehicles of Napoles supposedly acquired through the money: Range Rover (PN TIN 11), white Porsche Cayenne (CYN 98), white Toyota Alphard, BMW, Tahoe, Chevrolet, two Ford E-150, Starex Gold,  Toyota Prado, Savanna GMC, Lincoln Navigator, Hummer, Land Rover, Honda Civic and Mercedez Benz.—With reports from Norman Bordadora and Christian V. Esguerra'

Accounts  of the alleged mastermind frozen:
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/business/08/17/13/415-napoles-accounts-covered-freeze-order

'The CA on Friday issued a 6-month freeze order on all of the bank accounts and related web of accounts of Napoles, members of her immediate family, other relatives and staff of the JLN group of companies, including accounts of non-government organizations allegedly allied with Napoles.
This was in response to the application of a freeze order filed by the Office of the Solicitor General on behalf of the Anti-Money Laundering Council.'

Only the Tip of the Iceberg?

'The much talked-about COA Special Audit Report only covers the period of 2007-2009. As more and more records—even from recent years—are examined, it appears that the misuse of pork did not stop in 2009. And while the congressional pork barrel already puts at least 25 billion a year in the hands of lawmakers, the fact is there are trillions worth of special and regular funds disbursed and possibly misused year after year.'
We’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg.

There are 10 Billion Pesos from the Pork Barrel funds allegedly made available to dummy non governmental organizations for purported ghost projects, why doesn't this money reach the hands of the poor?

Transparency and accountability will not solve the problem of corruption. The corrupt wanted to win because they fear to lose. We created corruption within our mind. 

Whenever we see the poor around us  - our maids, our drivers, our cooks etc. within our mind, we have this fear that one day we might lose our money and we'll end up like them, poor, suffering and in pain. So, we do whatever we can to be rich. We go to other countries to work so we can have more money so we will never be poor - so we will not suffer like them.

We created corruption in 'our within' as the mind and created this in 'our without' as this world system of money, self-interest and competition. 

If we walk back, we will see that this all started when we took coins from the purses of our parents 'playfully' when we were young thinking that our action has no consequence. 

We have to face consequence of what we accepted and allowed in this world. 

The government has to make sure all the citizens of the country get the basic necessities it needs to survive because that is essentially what a government represents - the citizens.

We have to nationalize resources and create dividends enough to pay a Basic/Living Income to the poor, unemployed, elderly, uneducated etc. 

It is a crime Not to.

Nature has provided all of us enough resources to survive equally, so we have to give the poor their equal share.

'Give so that you will receive'

Quotes From The Basic/Living Income Guarantee Website:
http://basicincomeguaranteed.wordpress.com/


'A government is the citizens representing themselves, no matter what system is utilized at the end of the day, which is what the government represents: the citizens. Therefore, any action that is taken to undermine the wellbeing of the citizens in a country – for instance causing poverty or diminishing resources, causing harm to the citizens of a country = that would be sedition and that is how it should be approached.
Sedition certainly is not when one exposes abuse by your government representatives that they should be held accountable and what they do should be transparent and therefore, one needs to re-look at the word ‘sedition’ carefully.
The media as a medium with which the citizens communicate and educate themselves to be effective in supporting each other to have a country that is economically and financially effective. The media should thus be owned by the people of the country and never only by certain individuals. No policy should ever be allowed that damages the country because to do that, is to in fact act in a way that is detrimental to the wellbeing of the country and by definition would be – if we have lawyers with some common sense – the premise for treason. And that is why the police force will exist, that’s why the commercial units will exist is to investigate those that do damage the Economy and to the Human Rights of the people. That’s what police’s purpose actually is, the purpose of the police is not to protect the rights of the wealthy, is to protect the rights of the citizen, to ensure that there is nothing that is happening that will cause unemployment that will cause people to live on the streets – that’s a crime!'
the statistics just inflate the idea that you know what you’re talking about, so statistics is just another form of inflation, it’s just Public Relations. It’s just a fake and false image and likeness with which the actual data is distorted so that those that benefit from having control and access to resources through this inflated view can justify why it is that the things are the way they are, why poverty is so immense and expansive… And so you’ll have the curious bizarre thing happening, for instance that the corporate top dogs and the loyalty they buy from people that are in the corporation – as well as their income – has been skyrocketing for at least the last 30 years. So these massive profits are used to buy loyalty which protects the top dogs. This same illness is now part of the government where people’s loyalty is bought so that they can protect the wealth of the few while the majority of people on Earth are existing in one or two dollars a day – and that’s quite okay apparently because the image is inflated to say that“That is enough for them to make a living.”

Pork Barrel 7 : Edsa Prayer Rally: Alleged Mastermind Giving Money To A Monsignor: Jesus Message




When i was in the Philippines in 1986, i walked with thousands of people who participated in the 'people's power' protest at the main highway in the Philippines called EDSA, not throughout the whole day but part of the day. That rally ended the 20 year administration of the then 'dictator', Ferdinand Marcos. 

We believed then that he took the problems of the Philippines with him in Hawaii where he headed off aided by the US, and that at that point we're free. That was what we wanted to believe so we can feel we have done something worthwhile but that is just a BE-LIE-F. 

I saw the problem repeating. It persisted. 

Corruption is still here. The real problem was Not addressed.

The problem of poverty is a recurring problem that needs to be addressed for things to change for real. The problem of inequality and poverty will be here because we are recreating these problems, otherwise these problems will not be repeating itself.

As we see poor people suffering without food to eat, without shelter, without flushing toilets, without medical attention, without education etc.  we will have a FEAR within our mind, that one day we might lose our money and live like them to also suffer a life of poverty. We then push ourselves to make more and more money everyday so we can be so rich we will never be poor. 

We go to other countries to work so we can receive dollars in exchange for our services. We know that the dollar has a higher value than the Philippine peso in the foreign exchange market, so we know that if we work in the US and UK for example we can provide our family members with the best possible education, housing, food etc. to live a comfortable life. 

We have to ask ourselves,
Why not let everyone live Life in dignity, instead of just our family living a life of comfort?

It is because of self-interest - our own family first before others. 

All children are our children. All families are our family. We are one and equal to Life because we are all part of Life. 

We all are birthed here. 

Can we forgive ourselves after we die when we have a life review, when we ask ourselves, 
'did we stand for what is best for all'?

We have to forgive ourselves for accepting and allowing this system of abuse.

This is how we create the poor and we can justify this in so many ways but eventually we will face the consequence - corruption, crime, rape, child prostitution, mail-order bride, OFW abuse etc. 

The list is endless not only in our country but all over the world. 

We have to look at how we can change this unequal world system of money.

The prayers are not going to change us. It is US who need to change our operating basis  and implement some changes in society. 

An excerpt of an Article at GMA Network:
Link:
http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/325974/news/metromanila/festive-atmosphere-outside-edsa-shrine-as-participants-gather-for-anti-pork-vigil

'The atmosphere outside the EDSA Shrine turned festive before noon Wednesday as participants began to gather for a prayer vigil against the pork barrel system.
Some of the participants included a clown who juggled big balls in front of the crowd, radio dzBB's Sam Nielsen reported.
Another participant was an elderly man who wore his message to President Benigno Aquino III over his shirt.
"PNoy, Please lang... Huwag mo kami ipakaing lubusan sa mga BABOY at BUWAYA (PNoy, don't feed us to the pigs and crocodiles)," the message read.'
RSJ, GMA News

People who sell hats and T-shirts are still making MONEY at the EDSA rally.
'Earlier in the day, vendors showed up at the EDSA Shrine to sell novelty items with anti-pork barrel statements and images, dzBB's Rodil Vega reported.
The report said the items being sold included T-shirts printed with anti-pork barrel slogans, sold at P100 to P150 each.'

The alleged mastermind allegedly pocketed MONEY from the pork barrel funds and even the church is mentioned in the news:

There is an allegation that the alleged mastermind gives a monthly stipend to a Monsignor of the Catholic church:


'In the joint affidavit submitted to the National Bureau of Investigation, the whistleblowers said Ramirez receives a monthly stipend, allegedly from the account of Napoles herself.
As an example, they enumerated several checks that amounted to P150,000 pesos each.
ABS-CBN sources said that Ramirez now lives at a property also allegedly owned by Napoles.
A male house helper also confirmed this.'

Corruption and poverty is still here.

What changed? 

The people who run the government looks different, but that's about it.

Who we have become within ourselves did Not change.

We felt a relief after Marcos left but the same problem that we had then, we still have now. We tried to put a 'band-aid' to the wound, so to speak, but fail to see the real problem, so there is No lasting solution. It keeps repeating itself. 

History repeats itself because we repeat the same mind patterns - we fear the same things, we desire the same things.

We have to face the REAL Problem, otherwise, the real problem will still be here and it's going to affect all of us = We All Lose.

The REAL problem is Inequality/Poverty. 

We have to nationalize resources to create dividends enough to give a Basic/Living Income, to the poor, unemployed, elderly and uneducated, Guaranteed from birth to death  

It is Not about giving alms to the church, to foundations, charities etc.  It is about giving the poor the basic necessities they need to survive with dignity from birth to death, not just when we like to. 

It is living the message of Jesus:

Give what you want to receive.

We do not just want to get left-over money from the rich or the elite sometimes to then give it to the poor. This is seeing the poor as less than ourselves and because of guilt, we would like to give to the poor.

We want to be treated as an equal.

This is about giving a life of dignity for those who are living in poverty, realizing that nature gave us All resources to be able to survive equally.
