In order to enact change, several legislative bills would need to go through Congress for a vote. Note to Ourselves: We do not want any “riders” on these bills. Riders are extra legislation tacked on from special interests, basically amounting to extortion, where a member of Congress will not vote for Our bill unless they get some totally unrelated and usually controversial legislation to “ride along for free” on Our bill.
People’s Bank Act
- Bank Capital comes from the collection of the Federal “Income Tax”, the total of which will be equally divided by the current number of US citizens. This amount or “share” will appear as a deposit placed into the Personal Retirement Account of each citizen one year of age or older.
- For natural born citizens, a savings account will be established the first day of January in the year following birth, and continue until death
- For naturalized citizens, an account will be established the First day of January in the year following naturalization, and continue until death
- Upon the death of each citizen, that citizen’s account will be closed, and any remaining funds will be redistributed as Congress sees fit
- U.S. citizens already in possession of a “Social Security Number” can use this as their account number until Congress determines otherwise
- Loans will then be made from all deposited monies. Loans must:
- Provide [in some way] for the General Welfare, either of an individual citizen, or an entire local, regional or national population, and
- be easily repaid (as through use of the service it provides)
- A “branch” of the People’s Bank will be provided within each “Community” of approximately 100,000 population, so citizens may have access to services, such as Small Business Loans, Retirement Dividend distribution, various Tax Payments, Federal Employee Salaries, Payday or Advanced Pay Services, etc.
- Certain actions or inactions by citizens may constitute grounds for confiscation of one’s annual account deposit, such as possession of an unregistered firearm (one or more year fine), incarceration for conviction of a Felony Act (for the entire term of incarceration), long-term or permanent admittance into a designated Health Care Facility (for entire term of stay, failure to contribute the minimum income tax allowance [designated by Congress] in any consecutive two-year period, failure to pay any debt owed to the People’s Bank (health care, affordable housing rent, student loan, etc. – penalty will equal the amount owed.
Retirement Dividend Act
Defining of Terms
- Annual Share – amount allotted to each citizen annually, representing that citizen’s share of the Income Tax collected each year.
- Educational Investment – a yearly amount [to be determined by Congress] which is withdrawn equally from each citizen’s Annual Share, but never from the Retirement Dividend
- Retirement Dividend – the annual amount of accrued principle and interest, divided equally among all citizens, and placed within each citizen’s retirement account, alongside any remaining portion of the accruing Annual Share.
- Full Benefits – Until the formula for determining a citizen’s Full Benefits is changed by an Act of Congress, Full Benefits may be calculated this way: An Amount X, which is equal to the total accrued amount within a citizen’s personal account at the time they opt to receive Full Benefits, divided by Y, which is equal to 100 minus the current age of the beneficiary (67 or older), then added to R, which represents the continuous yearly accrual of Retirement Dividends still coming into every citizen’s account each year. [X / (100 – current age) + R = Full Benefits]
Manner of disbursement of Retirement Dividends
- No monies within each citizen’s retirement account may be utilized by that citizen until the first day in January following their 51st birthday. At this time, and until the first day in January following that citizen’s 67th birthday, withdrawals may not exceed that year’s Retirement Dividend.
- Beginning the first day in January following a citizen’s 67th birthday, a citizen may opt to receive “Full Benefits” at any time.
- Example: Citizen opts for Full Benefits at age 70. At that time, total accrued amount X = $450,000. Retirement Dividends equal to $10,000 a year are still accruing annually. $450,000 / (100-70 yrs) = $15,000 + $10,000 = $25,000 Retirement Benefit per year, or $2,083.33 per month.
- Upon the death of each Citizen, their account will be closed, and any remaining monies will be taken and used as Congress sees fit.
