Chapter Six
Remarkable Safety & Peace
Never in the history of the world has a
government existed with strictly one
purpose: protection. Early America
came close, which is why early America’s
get-out-of-the-way, protection-only
government created the conditions for her
rapid rise to the envy of the world.
Without the Prime Law in place, however, the
U. S. Constitution was vulnerable to the
resurgence of the rule of man. Government
steadily grew beyond its one proper purpose
of protection. Instead of a protection
service, government eventually became a
ruling class. It has become so bad that
today the President of the United States is
expected to “fix” the economy. The President
should focus on his proper role of
Commander-in-Chief of the military and
homeland security.
In Hamilton-America, the government is a
protection service only, not a ruling class.
It focuses on protection only and everything
that protection involves such as justice,
courts, police, prisons, national defense.
With every dollar and every action going
toward protection, the effectiveness of that
protection surpasses the protection of all
other governments, which are focused far
beyond their one valid purpose of
protection only.
Crime prevention becomes unsurpassable in
Hamilton-America. Moreover, the creative and
hardworking people who immigrate to
welfare-free Hamilton-America could never
possess the lazy criminal-mind. Furthermore,
society is so prosperous with a
get-out-of-the-way government, crime largely
loses its appeal. Indeed, with prices
falling to fractions (as seen in the
computer industry) causing buying power to
soar, essentially making all citizens rich,
the motivation for monetary-based crime
vanishes.
In Hamilton-America, crime vanishes. In
America, wealth vanishes and crime rises…and
rises. …So far, the test Split-B
Hamilton-America delivers a far better
response than the control Split-A America,
especially involving the three most
important conditions of civilization:
wealth, health, and peace.
Chapter Seven
Voluntary Pay
Hamilton-America is the only place on Earth
that is booming with an abundance of jobs,
peace, falling prices…a place where people
are wealthier and healthier than they have
ever been…while America and the rest of the
world sink into job losses, home losses,
fear, panic, collapsing standards of living.
Hamilton-America is also nearly free of
crime and is the safest place on Earth. For,
here government’s sole function, its every
thought and action is protection.
Moreover, the people coming to
Hamilton-America are the smartest
value-and-job creators and most ambitious
workers in the world. With no welfare, no
government handouts, the lazy moochers and
criminal minds do not bother to come to
Hamilton-America. They stay home where their
socialistic governments hand out elaborate
entitlements. The criminals also stay home
because crime does not pay in a
country with a protection-only government.
As America and the rest of the world sink,
the people in Hamilton-America enjoy wealth,
soaring health, peace, happiness, and love.
The juxtaposition of America and
Hamilton-America shines a bright light on
misery versus luxury, poverty versus
prosperity. The contrast is stark. Political
rhetoric and demagoguery no longer tell the
out-of-context story. Instead, the split-run
and the unlying numbers tell the whole
story.
America and the whole world succumb to
depression. The citizens of Hamilton-America
feel how precious their conditions
really are. And they want to pay
for the protection service — the
government — that guarantees their
conditions. This new government idea
that gets out of the way adopts the
original U.S. Constitution with the
following addition — the most basic Prime
Law of Protection the founding fathers of
America missed:
The Prime Law
(The
Fundamental of Protection)
Preamble
*The purpose of human life is to
prosper and live happily.
*The function of government is to provide
the conditions that let individuals
fulfill that purpose.
*The Prime Law guarantees those
conditions by forbidding the use of
initiatory force, fraud, or coercion by any
person or group against any individual,
property, or contract.
Article 1
No person, group of persons, or government
shall initiate force, threat of force, or
fraud against any individual’s self,
property, or contract.
Article 2
Force is morally-and-legally justified only
for protection from those who violate
Article 1.
Article 3
No exceptions shall exist for Articles 1 and
2.
Living in the only prospering country in the
world, a country setting new records for
standards of living and safety while the
rest of the world collapses into a
catastrophic era of poverty and terror,
citizens of Hamilton-America gladly,
patriotically pay for their Protection-Only
Government. That Protection-Only Government
backed by the Prime Law guarantees the
conditions for Hamilton-America to become
the wealthiest, healthiest, and safest
country in the history of the world. Beyond
that, Hamilton-American government gets
out of the way!
The question of: “Will people pay for their
government if they don’t have to?” is
answered as follows: In Hamilton-America —
YES. In America — NO. That is why America
has resorted to a force-backed IRS. By the
way, the Prime Law would never allow a
force-backed IRS and would have prevented
the resurgence of the rule of man and his
insidious force-backed ruling class in
America.
Chapter Eight
The Government Trap
In the incredibly complex and confusing
world today, what do we do? Imagine a person
in America loses his job and, in the
shrinking job market, he cannot get another
job. He then loses his home. He has a
family, wife and children to shelter and
feed. Well, he is in the government trap. He
needs government assistance to survive. He
needs food stamps to feed his precious
family. He looks to the government, for what
else can he do? Where else can he turn?
However, with the arrival of
Hamilton-America, he does not turn to food
stamps. He immediately moves his family to
Hamilton-America and gets a great job! This
is just common sense.
In Hamilton-America, freedom begets the
Great Technological Revolution, which begets
falling prices and rising buying power just
as we saw in the mostly unregulated computer
revolution, the forerunner. Therefore, as
citizens grow wealthy in Hamilton-America,
the government trap never happens here.
In America, as more and more desperate
business executives and desperate citizens
fall into the government trap and turn to
government for “rescue money,”
Hamilton-America just sighs and shakes his
head at sister America. While they put out
their hands, the truly creative business
executives and hard-working citizens leave
America for Hamilton-America and drive the
economy in Split-B to unprecedented heights.
Chapter Nine
Common Sense
and Split-Run
In 1775, America’s problems were complicated
and confusing. Most Americans did not
want to go to war with England. The
situation was too complex for Americans to
get clear answers and conviction.
In January 1776, as a response to the King’s
abuse of power, Thomas Paine published
Common Sense. His pamphlet begins
metaphorically in a simple place with a
handful of persons. Then a few more persons
arrive, and civilization begins. Seeing
civilization in its most simple state, at
its origin, cuts through the
complexities…and common sense shines
through! That little pamphlet brought
America together to stand united against the
King of England.
Similarly today, America’s problems are
complicated and confusing. The financial
collapse starting in 2008 has Americans
scared and confused. The situation is too
complex for Americans to get clear answers
to the problems including their feelings on
socialistic government intervention.
In January 2009, as a response to the
complex financial crisis and the
government’s confusing abuse of power, I
completed Split-Run. My pamphlet
begins with the hypothetical split-run, the
a,b split between the existing control,
Split-A America, versus the test, Split-B
Hamilton-America. Hamilton-America starts
fresh and free of the political
entanglements of America. Seeing
Hamilton-America in its most simple state,
at its origin, cuts through the
complexities…and common sense shines
through! This little pamphlet can bring
society together to stand united against
bogus government and virulent rule of
man. (Remember proper government is
protection only, backed by rule of flawless
law — the Prime Law.)
Chapter Ten
Investments
Companies, jobs, construction, housing boom
in tax-free Hamilton-America. So stocks and
real-estate values go up. Moreover, capital
gains taxes do not exist in
Hamilton-America, so investors from around
the world invest in Hamilton-America. In
fact, Hamilton-America becomes the
investment capital of the world.
Furthermore, with a relatively low-cost,
voluntary-pay, get-out-of-the-way
protection-only government,
Hamilton-American industries do not get
politicized and shackled with regulations as
in America and around the rest of the world.
Cost-prohibitive bureaucratic regulations do
not exist in Hamilton-America, which
dramatically lowers the costs of research
and the risks of failure. Businesses and
investors, therefore, pour money as never
seen before into research and development.
Those investments in research and
development bring Hamilton-Americans rapidly
advancing new technologies. Greater and
greater life-enhancing products rise
throughout all industries, from the health
industry to the transportation industry, for
lower and lower prices. Those rapidly
evolving new technologies and products drive
up standards of living and drive down costs
of living.
Those investments in research and
development are the best investments that do
not create a bubble. Those investments in
Hamilton-American industries stimulate the
Great Technological Revolution unlike
anything seen before. Those investments
dramatically increase manufacturing and
create more and more jobs. Business booms;
investors invest; prices fall; prosperity
soars.
Back in America, industries fall apart and
collapse. Money evaporates; jobs vanish.
Businesses go bankrupt. People go jobless
and homeless. Government goes on the
offense. With much media-driven fanfare, the
president’s top priority is “to fix the
economy.” Hamilton-America does not argue
the point. Hamilton-America just raises his
eyebrows as sister America’s best
benefactors immigrate to Split-B and make
Hamilton-America stronger.
Chapter Eleven
Manufacturing
Hamilton-America becomes the best place in
the world to house manufacturing companies
and manufacturing jobs for several reasons:
First, no taxes. Second, no
cost-prohibitive regulations. Third,
no government-enforced unions.
Those are three immediate, standout reasons
that manufacturing companies and their jobs
flee to Hamilton-America.
Another reason quickly arises: the truly
free Hamilton-America experiences the Great
Technological Revolution. No other country
does; even American industries are too
politicized to enter into the remarkable
Great Technological Revolution. Indeed, only
truly free, nonpoliticized industries can
enter into the Great Technological
Revolution.
The Great Technological Revolution becomes
perhaps the greatest benefit of all to
manufacturing companies. The steady
cost-saving and production-improving
technological breakthroughs are a boon for
both profits and production.
America’s manufacturing businesses, on the
other hand, continue dying. Manufacturing
jobs go overseas for cheaper labor and
less-regulatory conditions. And now, with
the creation of Hamilton-America, whatever
manufacturing is left in America makes a
quick exit for Hamilton-America. America
becomes less and less competitive, overrun
with regulations, unions, taxes, lawsuits,
unfriendly media and class-envy.
Hamilton-America stands back and
nostalgically watches the fall of the
once-great nation.
America sinks into catastrophic conditions
as politicians, bureaucrats, and mainstream
media continue to cry out for “social
justice” and more regulatory controls on
business. Hamilton-America just sighs as the
job creators and hard workers pack their
suitcases and head for the land of the free.
Chapter Twelve
Estate Planning
Hamilton-America has no estate tax.
Hamilton-America has no need for an estate
tax, for there is no big and growing
bureaucracy to pay for as in America.
Therefore, with no estate tax, wealthy
dynasties in America and around the world
immigrate to Hamilton-America. In fact, the
majority of business owners and investors
immigrate to Hamilton-America, for human
nature does not agree with turning over half
of one’s property to strangers for
redistribution — half of what took one’s
entire life to build for one’s children…just
to owe half of its appraised value to a
socialistic government that will spread
one’s wealth around!
In many if not most cases, the deceased
parents’ business must be sold so the
children can pay the estate tax. Now, as
clear as it is to see how wrong that
socialistic force-backed government policy
is, and how that was NEVER intended in the
original U.S. Constitution…rule-of-man
politicians and their media cheerleaders
justify the family-business-destroying
estate tax. And because over half of
Americans depend on entitlements, that
take-from-those-who-earn-and-give-it-to-strangers-who-do-not-earn
mentality flourishes in America.
In fact, the irrationality grows
increasingly grotesque to the point that the
greatest contributors to society — the job
creators and wealth creators — are somehow
perceived as the villains of society.
Moreover, their profit — their private
property — is expected to be taken by
government and redistributed to strangers —
by and large to those lazy moochers on
entitlements. And finally, at the end of
those admirable job-and-wealth creators’
lives, after they spent their entire lives
creating jobs and benefiting society and
earning and building their reward, their
private property — their businesses or their
investments — the government claims half of
the appraised value for redistribution. The
children have to sell the business to pay
for that redistribution of wealth.
As obviously wrong as American government
and its growing ruling class has become, as
blatant as the violation is to the U.S.
Constitution, the socialistic politicians,
bureacrats, judges, and media justify their
wrongful acts. And the majority of Americans
now benefit from those wrongful acts. So,
the destructive government gains public
approval for those wrongful acts. …America
regresses from the rule of rational law into
the nightmarish rule of irrational
man…cleverly crafted into a sort of mob
rule.
But, Hamilton-America does not care anymore.
Why try to tell sister America her wrongful
ways any longer? Instead, the split-run will
do the talking. As business owners and
investors flee to Hamilton-America, citizens
in sister America are left in a country of
lazy leaders and lazy losers, all of them
looking for redistribution of wealth. But
the wealth dries up as the wealth-creators
leave. All the “good genes” go to
Hamilton-America. |
