The New Republic

I hereby announce the establishment of a New Republic.

In this New Republic, all adult citizens receive monthly allowances from the government, instead of salaries from their employment.

Labour costs for the businesses and corporations would be in the form of labour taxes and medical reimbursements.

Business owners and private investors would still receive income from their private investments and proprietorships or partnerships.

The mandate of this New Republic centers on healthy lifestyles and stress-free living. People go to work because they know it is good for them, to keep their minds working and bodies active. The atmosphere builds on encouragement and forgiveness, and people strive to surpass themselves and build a country that prides in its strong work ethics.

The allowances rise with a person's seniority in a company, but never fall below a comfortable level even when a person is unemployed.

Emphasis is put on a person's achievement and reputation, with the education system teaching children to take after role models featured in the newspapers. Lifelong learning is a common passion, and children are taught from young the possibilities in their hands from matters as trivial as their love for video games.

Oh what a wonderful world that is!
