Money Energy - Harmony Economics

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)
