20150824@1200HrStart Governance of Resources:
The Purpose, of all governments, is to govern resources by stewardship of use and reuse, nothing is ever expendable. Self-stewardship by a reasonable and ethical individual precludes any need for stewardship by a government. The majority aged individual is always considered self-governing and personally responsible for actions a/o failures. Causing resource expendable conditions (War, slavery, throwaway, dumps, pollution, famine, homelessness, physical (body, mind, emotion harm ...) is an economic & environmental crime against humanity. "Crimes against humanity," are punishable by imprisonment in proportion to heinousness of the damage done to the resources, individuals, environment, a/o economy while the expendable conditions exist (IOW: End of Self-stewardship). The mentally ill or diminished persons are never majority aged individuals; Hence, their stewardship passes to the family a/o government.
Governance of Physical Property; Such as, land, houses, buildings, cars, jewelry, weapons... are all considered personal and private property under self-stewardship. Self-stewardship governance rights are transferable, terminable, a/o alterable under the Governance of Resources Rights, Laws, Rules and Responsibilities. When governance alters the Stewardship of physical property the Steward must be appropriately compensated and the compensation must be reviewed in 10 years for adequacy. The Steward's family is considered vested for the 10 year review. The final compensation review will be at 20 years, if Steward's family requested. Exceptions, for 75 years, to a final review can be made when proven events, situations, conditions are considered as preventing a fair and equitable compensation.
For cultural reasons ancestral tribes, groups, communities can request a compensation review every 20 years before the 200 years final compensation review. Equitability for the Stewards and Affordability for the Governing community must be judged best and reasonable. Exceptions to a final review can be made whenever proven events, situations, conditions are considered as preventing a fair and equitable compensation.
Governance of Institutions and Business is required to assure global/national resources are efficaciously used and reused for the health and welfare of the resources (environment) and humanity. Governments, businesses, and institutions failing to protect or fomenting harm to environment and human resources (within their borders) are criminal, as are the individual members. Governments and persons actively harming or attempting any colonial control of resources outside their national borders are committing acts of war, and are considered criminal aggressors. Aggressor Governments or Persons are considered an international threat to the environment and humanity. The international community is responsible for containing, mitigating, and ending the threat to the environment and humanity by all means available including embargo, subversion, war, assassination ... and all other means supported by a pejorative majority of nations.
Governance of War: Aggressors and Defenders are all equally responsible for damages to the environment and people, restitution, reconstruction, and recovery is a global responsibility. Aggressors' overt and covert leaders will be incarcerated for life and all their personal, family, and friend resources (property, art, money ...) will be placed in a global restoration fund. No further restitution or punitive actions are allowed.
Economic Resources Require Reuse:
Resource demands are products and services driven. Resources are circulated [AKA: Consumed] based on desirability [AKA: Need] and availability [AKA: Presence]. Resources are reused. All products (air, food, metal ...) and services (information, medicine, financial ...) must have international standards compliant recycle, recover, and lifecycle circulation plan prior to offering products/services to any customer. Stewardship of resources is local, national, regional, and global. Resources living (humans, animals, plants ...) and lifeless (elements, land, water ...) require global, regional ... stewardship or self-stewardship (people, governments, cultures ...).
Resource Stewards are individuals working for governments, institutions, businesses that directly or by proxy exert actual control upon a resource by decision or action.
Resource Owners are humanity and the environment (other nations) that cannot exert direct or by proxy any control upon a resource.
Individual, Government, Business ... Ownership of Resources (air, land, water, elements, genetics, people ...) is anathema to any human or environment reason. All ownership is based on products a/o services that is human lifecycle transient and transferable by law between individuals and across boundaries.
Real Property Rights (RPR)
The Purpose, of Real Property Rights, is to govern creative and innovative property, by making the creative and innovative artist ownership irrevocable. No government, institution, business, or individual (other than the artist) can claim ownership of creative a/o innovative resources or products. Artist is defined to include Scientist, Mathematicians, Engineers, Musicians, Dancers, Sculptors, Carpenters... IOW: all individual persons that create and innovate products and service value. The physical (stone, metal, clay, paper, space ...) base material and form of the resource cannot be owned by government, institution, business, or individuals, and the artist added creative and innovative value is owned by the artist for life.
The Owner Artist Property Rights
allow the artist to transfer possession of their property for specific time periods that cannot endure after their death. Art transferred by the artist to a government, institution, business, or individual will, after 5 years in other than the artiest possession, be "Open" rights governed. The artist a/o government, institution, business, or individual in possession of artistic property after the death of the artist must assure "Open" public availability of the art at no cost higher than maintenance (curation, restoration, security ...) or transfer the artistic property to others that will professionally maintain or dispose of the art/artifact. Intentional destruction of any art, artifact, information ..., which in the common (science, music ...) art community consensus must be maintained, is a crime against humanity. The art community or group in possession of the art that must be maintain can transfer possession of the art/artifact as is efficacious to maintenance (public museums, vaults ...).
Open Posterity Rights to the original art properties must be protected and maintained. After the death of the artist the art objects (paintings, writings, algorithms, discoveries ...) are governed by "Open" unencumbered access, availability, use, reuse, copy, artistic derivatives.... All derivative art belongs to the offshoot artist. Open Posterity Rights of the original art are interminably.
Open Real Property Rights Database (W3 Internet accessible) allows all people to register, discover, share, and use their registered RPR products and Services. The simple Open rule would apply to all RPR products and services for personal and non-profit/payroll use. When a RPR product or service is used to generate profit or payroll, then a consensus-contract must be agreed upon that courts would find legally equitable for all involved owners and participants. Use of a RPR could not be restricted by the owner (as in automatic use consensus), and the owner would always be legally entitled to equitable compensation for the contributed value.
RPR Use by Person, Library, public University, for Research, learning institutions, community collaboration... would always be free and unencumbered. However, use to make profit, win friends, influence people, generate income, support payrolls, foundations, organizations a/o institutions... without compensating or free-use-permission by the RPR holder would be criminal theft. RPR special rule for the entertainment arts, production, distribution, and publishing industry for a one to seven year limited "Open Content" use-restriction.
RPR sustains change and innovation for a stable and competitive economy and government in our future. Open-content and RPR is about freedom, creativity, and innovation. Open-content and RPR cannot exploit the artist, inventor, author .... Public domain RPR should apply permanently for the good of the public. Publicly funded R&D should remain Public Property just like roads, parks, and rivers. Innovation drives an economic system not capital, capital is a metric-resource (a measuring stick). One example is the persistence of old industrial age Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) concepts for real-physical manufacture of patented and copyrighted products. Governments, corporations, and global law/policy organizations continue the industrial age proto-capitalism and post-feudalism aristocracy a/o plutocrat protection and rewards for a corporatist oligarch economy. The corporatist oligarch economy will eventually be the destruction of both capitalism and democracy with corporatist-political-economics equivalent to communism with more centralization of authority and capabilities occurring by dejure.
General RPR rule basis lies in The U.S. Constitution: Article I; Section 8, A U.S. patent holder enjoys not just ownership of an idea, but also the "exclusive right" to determine how that idea will be presented or marketed to the public. Article I; Section 8 leaves doubt as to how RPR should be interpreted and applied. RPR due to technology and global commerce dynamics in the 21st Century and beyond; creates economic disincentives, for most governments, corporations, individuals, social institutions, and the public good. Present IPR interpretations applied promotes unnecessary litigation, cripples innovations' application, discourages developing new market sectors, and supports profitable anti-competitive tactics that harm global commerce and strong capitalist competition. The present condition is anti-Capitalism, Corporate Welfare, and ... puts non-human patent-holder and copyrights beyond the Artist and public interest. 'Reputable centuries old legal provisions of U.S. patent law; requires judges weigh the public interest against the requested legal action. Original U.S. Constitutional IPR/patents assertions that patents are granted to promote the progress of Humanity, Science, Arts ... in the Public and Government, and economic interest.'
Governance of Capital [Wealth]:
The Purpose, of all Governments, is to equitably govern all capital markets. Governance of capital markets objectives are to regulate (1) Capital Circulation, (2) Monetary Policy, and (3) Budget Policy.
Capital Circulation between Governments (Local, National, International), private citizens, banking institutions, businesses, brokerages... for domestic economic stability. The Government when necessary for economic stability may adjust daily tax rates, expenditures, reserves ... and call for a halt or alter regulatory requirements to any personal, single, set, sector, type, group ... capital transactions.
Monetary Policy is the governance processes by which the supply of money is controlled to regulate inflation and set interest rates to promote domestic economic stability and international trust in currency exchange value. This governance extends to all financial instruments (Stocks, Bonds, Derivatives...) that are issued, exchanged, traded, transferred... within the domestic economy a/o crosses within National borders.
Budget Policy is the governance processes by which (1) Revenues, (2) Surpluses and (3) Deficits are unfunded Government activities. (1) Revenues are Income (Taxes, Fees, Penalties ...). (2) Surpluses are Savings to pay-off debts, (3) Deficits are Losses requiring loans from lenders. NOTE: Debt is an exigency or failure of Budget Policy governance.
Budget Balance requires financial obligations be kept at the level of Revenue Income to prevent Deficits building Debt, and to keep the maximum capital in economic circulation.
Budget Busting are global conditions that prevent Budget Balance; Such as, wars, catastrophes, international contingencies and resource problems....
Budget Obligations are Public Welfare, Government Operations, and National Defense.
Budget Planning priority One is balance. Priority Two pay down debt. Priority Three adjust revenues up for paying down debt. Priority Four keep (when possible) activities and obligations locked down. Priority Five no social or economic disruptions caused by spending reductions.
Budget Governance provides for non-disruptive Public welfare, Government sustainment, and Defense readiness.
Budget Reductions focus science and technology solutions to improve Public Welfare, Government Operations, and Defense Projection. To improve delivery on obligations requires efficacious science and technology application strategy. Budget reductions must pay dividends that bake the unattainable and ever evolving Objective Vision and make actualities happen in increments (days), leaps (years), and bounds (decades). Use modern science and technology to make our future objective vision. IOW: Budget reductions depend on our prior investments creating future returns that control revenue collections / requirements.
Governance is not "Government Intervention."
Governance of a functional economy, when done honestly by the markets (industry, banks, commerce, persons ...), not gamed for profits/greed, will not require "Government Intervention" to govern the economy.
Democracy/Isocracy meritocracy economy provides a standard bell-shape-curve distribution of wealth, benefits, and quality of life (health, education, community [indigent...affluent] ...) inclusive fairness. When significant income and Quality of Life (QoL) disparities exist, Markets' stewards (C*Os, G*Os, groups/families ...) are failures. Private-sector governance is proven unethical or even criminal when there is a skewed wealth-curves of income, property, poverty, religion/race community.... When markets' stewards fail at economic governance, the economic results are depressions, recessions, resource (including human) diaspora.... When economic failures occur, "We The People" as a Government and community must ethically act and economically intervene to stabilize the economy in the interest of National security. For US (the public-sector) this is Governance, for the private-sector this is Government intervention/interference. For a democracy/isocracy National Security essential and required.
Economic failure is never an issue of negatives cancelling deficits or debt. All failures are debt and deficit additive, until good (Private/Public) governance can liquidate the debt. Present private-sector pseudo-capitalism relies on Government handouts, bailouts, and protectionist laws (AKA: Corporate-Welfare Laws) that prevent private-sector corrections by providing corporatist (not capitalist) "no added value" profits. Disruptive economic or governance (Business/Government) incompetence is criminal and cannot be tolerated by any corporate or government institution or persons' machinations. Good public-sector Governance emplaces laws that control the private-sector participation to prevent antitrust, monopolies, fraud, bribery ... unfair labor practices, which cause a dysfunctional economy with contemptible private-sector debt being shifted to the public/government sector [Example: Labor pensions raided by corporate and government criminals].
Government economic intervention is always caused by private-sector economic failures. When a Government is the cause of economic failure, the private-sector will move to another country. National Security interest must act in preventing private-sector manipulation of national politics and elections, laws and policies as essential to good governance and stable economy. There is little difference between private-sector fervor and religious faith, the irrational faith/fervor dogma is circular, and debase Democratic Governments. Beware all special fervor/faith interest with resolutions and truths, because they will not have verifiable/reproducible facts and solutions.
A nation's economic model must promote socio-economic balance or risk collapse. An unbalanced cost of living burden on labor-hands [AKA: wage-slaves] offers no sustainable benefits under faux-capitalism. "Robust Market" advocates will unethical and amoral cheer their good fortune without concern for National Interest, the public-sector QoL impact, and resultant additional national debt. Wealth disparity (US, EU, global ...) is an economics deficiency problem. National resources/wealth removed from circulation in an economy assures some form of collapse within market sectors (S&L, Tech, Housing ...). Governance is the method required to pump money into the failed economy with hope for economic stabilization that will eventually kick-start the functionally deficient economic model.
The USA Republic initially was a timocracy-isocracy democracy mix, with a monetized agrarian-barter economy. The USA Republic presently has a more plutocracy-timocracy democracy mix, with a flour-paper mashie economy. The USA Republic must mature into an isocracy democracy and a capitalist meritocracy economy with the Nations' wealth circulating and equally distributed across three standard deviations from the mean. IOW: All the wealth belongs to US. If you want to move to another country; then PLEASE, pack your bags and go. FACT: "We The People" do not need greedy wimps whining about their economic value to US.
Laissez-Faire, Laissez Rôle Dés a/o Bonne Chance, are irrational and dysfunctional economic models that dishonestly removes resources from economic circulation into a few private hands. Capitalism must be meritocracy (not aggregation) based and with considerations of needs national resources must be fairly distributed. Capital/resources hording has no merit in any economy, catastrophe, war ... unless some fanatical persons are seeking to incite civil unrest and commit treason.
