  Dear Zack Johnson,

  You forget something. A paper on TFE was
  accepted by a journal of repute, and I had to sign the
  copyright clearance forms. A little later on I
  withdrew it from publication due to a dispute with the
  editor/publisher (Professor Prem Sikka/ University of
  Essex, UK). Moreover, I have received some interest
  from academics notably Professor Axelrod in America.
  No doubt many more will see the light when a proper
  professional campaign is ultimately launched a few
  years time.


  It should be said that many people who have come up
  with advanced ideas have been derided as cranks to
  begin with. Yet, when more open minded individuals get
  to grips with what has been presented then they see
  the logic of it. It is always the way.

  At least you seem to understand one important point.
  Money as it exists...EXISTS AS ELECTRONIC INFORMATION
  WHICH CAN BE CONTROLLED WHICH ALSO ALLOW FOR
  SUPER-FLEXIBILITY IN STARK CONTRAST TO THE PAST. It is
  not as if governments (or mainly private banks in the
  TFE paradigm) are turning out tons, and tons of paper
  money which CANNOT BE DIRECTLY CONTROLLED.

  In TFE there is no need for taxation, and it does not
  matter how much money accumulates on the bank
  computers because most products, and services are
  registered, or indexed linked electronically to
  inflation levels.

  This ofcourse applies to bank accounts of all kinds,
  and it does not matter how much accrues....but the big
  problem especially for the rich, and the super-rich is
  how to spend it as there are only a certain amount of
  limited resources in the world at any point in time,
  and space. This factor is the key reason why I do not
  waste time USELESSLY worrying about bankers, and the
  rich in general getting wealthier, and wealthier as
  never before because they can only do so much!!!! In
  other words, their wealth becomes a growing burden
  rather than a blessing!

  Bizarre as at seem this does not all mean that the
  poor get poorer. The exact opposite is true in TFE as
  democratic governments, and notably NGOs would be far
  better financed to deal with such issues. Also, there
  will be little, or ultimately NO ENVIRONMENTAL
  DEGRADATION because the money as (monitored)grants to
  deal with this would also be available to
  Corporations, and small businesses of various kinds.
  This is all explained in my the TFE essay onsite here.

  Your outburst about my concepts seem somewhat
  irrational, and emotively driven which is a shame as
  you only show yourself up.
