So, once again, we come back to an informed consumer. UBI based on sales tax.

It really is that simple.

The ironic part is that the more simple the solution, the less we are conditioned to believe it will work.

Everyone wants to add a gear or a belt that we don't need because they don't trust their neighbor to "do the right thing", even if their neighbor has the same information right in front of them.

We are manipulated to fear and distrust ourselves as much as our neighbors, let alone what the media whores do to us about foreign countries....

How? Mostly by keeping all of the money and prices deceptive and using that deception to keep from paying Labor and Creativity the actual value of their services.

Now, we have the High and Mighty push for $15 minimum wage. It's just one tiny way to let the proles think they can win something big when it's actually something insignificant to Capital. The significant things are the ones that teach people about real costs and real value at their decision points, not in abstract books and sound-bite elections of corrupt chair-warmers.

What do we need to establish the value of a human being in their particular geographic place and the cost to protect that place (government)?

We need all externalized costs to be at the point of purchase, all wages to be paid in full, and every citizen supported by every other citizen in good health so they can think straight.
