Money Energy
When you work you expend energy.
In return for this expenditure of energy
You are paid money
Of that money
Some is taken for reasons of taxation
This is tax on energy
Like running on soft sand - is what it can feel like
When that energy used goes to the taxman
Depleted and defeated
The economy falters
The sands have swallowed
The dynamism of the people.
(A different angle on economics and the politics of labour)
To continue.
When a persons generator is spinning freely
And they are producing much Energy
Then a tax on that Energy
In it's aspect as Money
Will have no noticeable effect
On the energy being put in
So the generator keeps spinning
The worker keeps running.
Dynamic and happy
(Perhaps explained a bit clumsily? But seems to me the gist of the thing).
And for those who seek less labour more leisure
Then they can spin gently
And the earth may itself
Regenerate at it's own natural pace
As a harmony restored.
Life in balance.
- that natural accord.
(Here I am seeking a future where people live in harmony with themselves and the world - unrealistic? Praps, perhaps not. But seems worth mentioning)
