GREATER ACCESS TO COURTS AND JUSTICE; AN END TO DEAD PEASANT INSURANCE; AN END TO INCOME TAX

As my life has progressed, and things have happened from time to time, I discovered that justice has too big a price. When a wrong has been done, especially a wrong by an employer, the path to justice has a toll that is too high for most working people. I would suggest that a subcategory of courts be created solely to hear employment cases, so that redress can be provided much more quickly than it has up to this point. In this capitalist system, survival depends upon working for an employer. When that employer unjustly terminates or unjustly abuses an employee, it devastates a person's ability to survive. Months and years can pass without the fair resolution to such a situation, and in the meantime, the person is less able to attain or keep employment, so that survival itself is seriously at risk.Furthermore, it is important that the justice system and courtrooms have the theatrical quality diminished and real justice restored. When justice becomes more a matter of how much money is spent, what deals are made,  and how much of a showman the attorney is, and less about truth and fairness there is in fact injustice being dished out. The citizenry becomes embittered with no faith nor respect for the justice system at all. Fact-finding and analysis , including modern forensics, should take the predominate role in our courtrooms, not the manipulations of attorneys, no matter how clever they may be.


It has been revealed that a number of large corporations take out what are called "dead peasant" life insurance policies on their employees. This is not something that the insured employees are even told of. When the employee dies the employing corporation reaps much more benefit than it would reap if the employee remained alive and remained in the employ of the corporation. The employee's family does not benefit at all from this insurance benefit.

Why should we in this age still impose a tax upon labor? Labor is the time and life energy of a citizen. Surely that is not something that should be taxed. Instead, there should be a national sales tax, and not one that has an unreasonably high rate such as has been heretofore suggested. The suggested rate of 20% plus is too high. More reasonable would be a 10% national sales tax, with the abolishment of separate state sales taxes. States can derive income from property taxes and corporate taxes.
