RS replies. The term Super-Flexible makes one
hell of a difference.
---------------------------------------------------------
Reply: The fact that you thinks it makes a
difference is indicative of your belief in magic.
Robert, you're basically an uneducated person who
lacks basic common sense. Moreover, as your
spelling and syntax demonstrate, you are unable to
write literate English. And yet you have the hubris
to claim you have invented something new and are
the great genius who will save the world.

"In the light of the above it becomes obvious to
anyone that we are onto a winner."
---------------------------------------------------------
Reply: Certainly not to educated people with basic
common sense.
-
"RS replies. Yes, the BASIC idea of an interest, and
tax free economy is not new. We have been down
this road before. But it is a new paradigm in the
WAY IT COULD BE CREATED."
---------------------------------------------------------
Reply: Nothing new about that. You want
government to simply spend it into circulation.
What is harebrained and really stupid is your
suggestion that government simultaneously stop all
taxation. You've recently tacked on the "interest
free" aspect which means that the costs of supplying
financial services is not to be paid by the individual
recipients of those services, but by the society as a
whole in terms of decreased efficiency in markets
and price inflation.

"I hope we can agree to disagree, and leave it that.
You have your opinions, and I have mine...I find
your comments dull, and repetative, and so does the
rest of the Discussion Group."

Reply: I have not seen that even a single discussant
in this group has agreed with you. So don't claim to
speak for "the rest of the Discussion Group."

RS replies; Yes, it CAN be spent to a certain extent
but this depends on the account holder.

RS replies. Yes, this could be possible. The
question lies with HOW LONG IT WOULD HAPPEN AFTER A
TAX, AND INTEREST FREE ECONOMY WERE INTRODUCED. Many
economists would probably agree on this point.

RS replies. The term Super-Flexible makes one hell
of a difference. They are
a) electronic just as money is, and hence, can control
its value, and interaction beneficially.
b) allow supply,and demand to occur within a flexible
price range long before any Price Ceiling is ever
reached.
c) can directly, and instantly control inflation
levels in super-flexible ways unimaginable in old
paradigm economics.
d) can allow for direct,and instant compliance over a
part, or the whole of the economy without some huge
bureaucracy.
e) can allow for business back-up in case of natural
shortages (as opposed to artificial shortages which
due to super-flexible pricing cannot occur) with the
aid of grants (made out of newly created non-repayable
money) interest free loans, plus skill/training
providers/consultants concerned with sustainable
alternatives for goods, and services within a high
growth capitalist system. A compensation system could
also be included.
f) can avoid currency devalution due to instant price
adjustment at the point of virtually every sales
transaction
et cetera, et cetera.....
In the light of the above it becomes obvious to anyone
that we are onto a winner. Ofcourse, there will always
be sceptics like yourself who have been "brainwashed"
by old paradigm economics....

RS replies. Yes, the BASIC idea of an interest, and
tax free economy is not new. We have been down this
road before. But it is a new paradigm in the WAY IT
COULD BE CREATED...Similiarly, Binary Economics is not
a new idea in essence but it is a new paradigm in the
sense that IT OFFERS A NEW WAY OF HOW TO ACHIEVE THE
CHANGE IT WANTS..........
At the present time it is ofcourse favoured over TFE
simply because it has greater credibility. The former
will achieve such a status over a period of time when
the research, and development of it has been fully
completed, and is ready to be taken seriously by those
who have power,and influence in the world.. This will
take several more years.
Moreover, it must be said that the money created for
governments would be probably undertaken by PRIVATE
COMMERCIAL COMPANIES, or special banks.A genuine state
bank is not absolutely necessary for this purpose.
I hope we can agree to disagree, and leave it that.
You have your opinions, and I have mine...I find your
comments dull, and repetative,and so does the rest of
the Discussion Group.So, please do not bore them
anymore...life is hard enough!!
