WELFARE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE
1) Unemployment insurance replaced with poor houses: dormitories, food rations, minimal living standards with mandatory 40 hour work weeks, doing make-work if necessary, but ideally in vocational training. Release for interviewing/job search related work. Staffing agency services, either conducted by the state or contracted staffing agencies, in conjunction with poor houses.
2) Income taxation, at least below a certain level, completely abolished; replaced with regressive income subsidies.
3) Corporate tax abolished and replaced with mandatory non-voting non-salable state shares in the corporation.
4) Land value taxes dramatically increased, but waived for a household's 1st private residence/family farm below a certain size. (ie we're doing modified Georgism)
5) Mandatory unions.
6) Mandatory voting non-salable union shares in all corporations.
7) A new house of Congress will be formed from representatives of, as can be best reasonably defined, the separate industries or professions (ie we're doing modified syndicalism)
8) Mandatory mutual fund payment, like citizen's dividend but applied directly to retirement planning
9) Fiat currency expressly banned; cryptocurrency or specie as standard
EDUCATION
Anti-Credential Inflation:
- All universities, schools, vocational schools accredited by the state must administer the state's field-specific standardized examination
- The examination is standardized at a national level: grade rank is set by percentile (ie 99th percentile and above is A+, 95th in A, 90th is A-, B is 80, etc.)
- The examination is required to have a minimum pass score regardless of the observed distribution
- All schools are required to, with the same intensity as cigarette companies putting health warnings, post their grade distribution
- State funding and employment require accreditation
Vocational Shift:
- At vocationally-oriented programs (ie trades, engineering, business disciplines, law, medicine, etc.), tuition, room and board is capped by a price ceiling
- All other payment must take the form of income sharing agreements capped with a maximum time length (set by vocation) and conditional on passing the examination
- Liberal arts programs are, as conceptually luxury services, exempt from these rules, but may not sit for vocational examinations
FOREIGN POLICY
1) "City upon a hill" policy: Isolationist w. emphasis on moral support (special exceptions noted)
2) Protectionism in strategic industries, environmental protectionism
3) Foreign ownership banned bilaterally: foreign trade is conducted through contracts between firms
4) Army directly abolished; Marine Corps retained as expeditionary force, National Guard devolved back to states
5) Mass male conscription into the National Guard
6) National Guard constitutionally banned from deployment overseas
7) Expedition structure to foreign wars: volunteers can enlist for specific theaters/conflicts
8) Official neutrality like Switzerland
9) Secret police and spooks banned as separate entities: abolish FBI (juice up Marshal Service), abolish CIA (spycraft devolved back to the Navy and State Department)
SOCIAL POLICY
1) Suffrage by blood: military service (male only) or child-raising within wedlock, conditional on not being in the poor house system, confers suffrage
2) Suffrage is waived by divorce before the child reaches adulthood
3) Marriage is defined by the state as a contract of man and woman for purpose of procreation: legal recognition of marriage contingent on child-rearing
(Nobody's stopping you from cohabiting with your girlfriend forever as is)
4) Major child-rearing subsidies conditional on marriage
5) United States affirmed as an explicitly theistic and ecumenical society
- Minimal shared civil religion contains belief in creator, afterlife, objective good and evil, virtue ethics, teleology of the world, eudaimonic teleology of human life, universal value of life
- Civil religion to be taught in all schools; Protestant cultural heritage of the United States explicitly taught; comparative religion mandatory in grade schools, but from Christian perspective (ie here's this thing, here's why it's fucked up)
- Civil religion profession mandatory for any sort of public service
6) Abortion (except in medical emergencies) banned, punishable by the execution of the abortionist and sterilization of the mother
7) Truth and reconciliation: forced declassification of all govt spook documents
