-- February 18 2010 -- Al Capone and 200.000 euro is the LIMIT! Al Capone killed many people and amassed a lot of money in illegal ways. He was accepted by people who also had lots of money. But in the end the money caused his downfall, he was put in prison because of tax evasions. The already rich know how to remove people from their tables – by using the ultimate weapon – money! The reason for crime is always that illegal entrepreneurs want to enjoy the loot. Just as criminals greedy legal entrepreneurs have a business to profit personally. To solve this situation, do not attack (illegal) businesses but make extravagant personal spending impossible. People who want change never talk about why leading people do what they do – to get money. That is the only point where they can be attacked. The mentality changes when it is not anymore possible to use lots of money for the own pleasure. We can care for it that the 200.000 plus club cannot use their money anymore. Only to increase their own income bank directors give loans and mortgages to people, though they know the money will never be repaid,. Why do we have hedge funds, equity funds, futures, options, speculation in commodities, manipulation in valutas, even a stock exchange? Because it is good for people who earn their money in this part of the economy. We can do without this part where people are earning money by speculating without any risk for their own life. Their houses are never repossessed. The top and the criminals stop speculating, manipulating, embezzling or deceiting other people when they cannot spend their excessive money anymore. Then they will close the stock exchange, they will not look for financial excape routes via small islands where their shady manoeuvres are never controlled. Everything that is driven by the idea to get still more money will be seen on a different way and many things will change or disappear. Big crime, auctioning objects worth a million or more, big corruption, the world of gambling, the fraudulent real estate sector, the luxury industry, having a private serving staff, exclusive clubs, the advertisement world, sponsoring, copyright, even the music and sports world. We can demolish the reason why a few people get lots of money by caring that extravagant, exclusive and expensive products will not be produced anymore. When the reason why some people get too much money falls away, the new society will be based on human values, wishes and ideas and will not anymore be dictated by money. 200.000 euro a year is the limit! -- February 11 2010 -- Security Industry. The private home of Prime Minister Abhasit Vejjajiva of Thailand is being guarded by 50 policemen after someone threw some bags of shit in the garden. When 200.000 euro is the LIMIT! is accepted such costs should fall under the private spending limit. The unproductive security industry will not be glad. The People who have to pay fewer taxes will be happier. -- February 5 2010 -- Judges at the European Court go over the LIMIT! A Member of the European Parliament (MEP) has a basic income of 7665 euro a month, 38.5 % of the basic income of a judge at the European Court. The basic income of the judge is thus 240.000 euro a year, far above the 200.000 euro is the LIMIT! When his salary is brought down to 200.000 euro a year (he can still live lavishly), the income of the MEP’s (38.5 % of that of the judge) and the European civil servants will also come down and we have to pay less taxes. By including the many extras the judge get as payment for lectures and advising governments, high allowances, free travel, sleeping in the most expensive hotels, maybe free entrance to the most exclusive golf clubs, the saving for the People will be much greater. An example of the deep influence on our life of a small idea – 200.000 euro a year is the LIMIT! -- February 1 2010 -- 200.000 euro a year is the LIMIT! Defeat the greed and delete the elite. Only a tiny minority can spend each year more than 200.000 euro. In the past they were called robber barons, criminals or capitalists, now they are joined by greedy CEO’s, financial and real estate speculants, the jet-set and their servants. Activities directed on this small isolated sector of our society will have a tremendous impact. The world will become friendlier when these people are prevented to live in decadent luxury. You can live very nicely on 200.000 euro a year. 200.000 euro is the limit! But you cannot buy anymore a Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss of 1.3 million euro, a Riva Duchesse yacht of 7 million or a house of 20 million. You cannot hang a Van Gogh on your wall, fly to the moon as a tourist, buy dresses of over 50.000 euro, go shopping in Kuala Lumpur when you live in London or pay a yearly fee of 100.000 euro for your favourite golf club. And you have to sack your serving staff, lose your other nine houses and your private plane. Indeed a drawback but the reason to amass money disappears when extravagant luxury ceases to exist. A few people will suffer but many rejectable sides of our society will disappear. When the super-rich get less, prices go down and maybe there will be enough money to solve the problem of the 10.000.000 kids that die each year before they are five years old. When you cannot spend your surplus money, why should you want a salary of 10.000.000 euro and still demand bonuses, why should you sell drugs, rob banks, be corrupt or manipulate or embezzle other people. With the disappearance of excessive greed of a few people negative effects as financial and economic crises, rising unemployment and many people losing their homes will also disappear. The world runs on money but when you cannot spend excessive money anymore, the world will change and become more pleasant. The well-being of all people becomes more important than that some people try to get as much money as possible. In coming letters I will write about the deeply intruding consequences of this idea on our society, how to implement this idea and how the luxury industry that only caters for a very small group of people with too much money can become obsolete.
