20-Hours-Work for 40-Hours-Pay + EICs
HOW THE U.S. SENATE CAN SOLVE
THE WORLD-CRISIS OF UNEMPLOYMENT
& SOLVING THE SOC. SEC. & MEDICARE
FUNDING-CRISES
LAST FRIDAY, May 1, 2009, the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker, I formally announced to the Illinois
and U.S. Publics that I seek the Illinois Republican Party’s nomination in 2010 for the Junior U.S.
Senator from Illinois, on the strongly PRO-LIFE, AND PRO-WORKING & FARMING FAMILIES’ platform
of 20-hours work for 40-hours Pay, with the difference paid NOT by the employer, but by Earned
Income Credits (EICs) funded by a special, graduated sur-tax on the net, natural-persons’
individual incomes greater than the GNAPCI (Gross National Adult Per Capita Income) [$51,670.89
per capita in 2008] AFTER all other personal, sales and property taxes; AFTER investments and
costs of doing business; and AFTER donations.
EICs were, after all, the brain-child of Dr. Milton Friedman (may here rest in peace), who was the
chief economist of Republican-conservative, free-market economics. They were enacted into the
Tax-Code during the Reagan Administration.
My qualifications for this high office of public trust are:
(1) I have sought the right strategy and tactics for a just and lasting world peace, with lawful
freedom and prosperity for all, since my age of 5, and especially since my age of 8;
(2) with that aim, I earned the BSFS (Bachelor of Science Degree in Foreign Service) from
Georgetown University; then the MA in International Studies from Johns Hopkins;
(3) the BSFS is equal to 5 minors: i) History; ii) Government; iii) Economics; iv) Pre-Law;
v) Foreign Languages;
(4) my MA at Hopkins concentrated in the Social Aspects of Economic Development;
(5) upon graduation, I chose to become a High School teacher in the Washington, D.C.,Public
Schools rather than to become a functionary for the military-industrial-diplomatic-financial complex;
(6) since 1977, I have been writing books and engaging in unofficial back-channel diplomacy.
These efforts contributed to the 1989 decision of the Hungarian Government to tear down its Iron
Curtain and to allow E. Germans to emigrate to the West, which led inexorably to the end of the
Cold War. Other efforts have led to the Oslo Process, the Road Map, the Arab Peace Plan, and the
negotiations between Israel and Philastina, and, since 1983, managing a 60% Employee-Owned
Co., (www.w-e-r-co.com ) inspired by the Illinois Employee-Ownership Assistance Act of that year,
passed by the then-Republican State Legislature, signed into law by that great-Illinois Republican
Governor “Big” Jim Thompson, and based on the Republican principle of working toward “The
Ownership Society” rather than the Democrats’ “Bread-and-
Circuses Welfare Society”.
My studies taught me that, in addition to the standard business cycle of some 4-7 years of
prosperity follow by 14-18 months of recession, there is a 50-70 years' cycle of relative prosper-ity
followed by more severe recession, or even depression, as a certain complex of technologies which
had saturated its effective demand (which is defined as demand able to exert itself with cash or
credit) during its relative expansion phase, is often followed by a period of 5-10 years of
uncertainty as the newer complex of technologies attempts to become the standard. This cycle is
called the Kondratieff cycle, after the economist who first perceived it.
There is, however, another cycle of roughly 500-1,000 years of relative prosperity and expansion of
comparatively free markets, followed by 300-1000 years of bureaucratism, usually degenerating
into patronage feudalism or even slavery. This cycle is called the Quigley-Bibby cycle, after the
historians who first perceived it.
The current financial and economic crisis is at the bottom-end of a 70-year boom based on the
automobile, the super-highway (and resulting commercial, industrial and residential real-estate
boom), the jet plane,consumer appliances, and computers. It is no longer a sufficient engine of
growth for the world market.
It doesn’t have to lead either to the bottom of a Kondratieff cycle or to that of a Quigley-Bibby
cycle, depending on how we handle it.
The new technologies of solar-thermal, wind-, photo-voltaic, micro-hydro, geo-thermal, tidal and
piezoelectric (pressure) co-generation, nano-technologies, bio-diesel and micro-algae food and bio-
diesel production are not yet ready to carry the world market – mostly because we wasted the last
30 years not investing sufficiently in them.
They are perhaps actually more labor-intensive than the auto-appliances-real-estate-jet-computer
complex, as the energy creation sector for Clean Energy is 5 and 8 times more labor-intensive
than for dirty energy (see below).
The quickest way to incorporate them as engines of growth is to enact an International Treaty
among the 20-chief trading nations which would mandate that the full-time work-week be 20-hours
for 40-hours pay, with the difference paid for by Earned-Income Credits (EICs), funded by a special
graduated sur-tax on the net personal incomes of the general rich of each nation, insofar as they
exceed the GNAPCI (Gross National Adult Per Capita Incomes) of their country of citizenship or
residency, whichever is higher. This graduated sur-tax would be on NET personal Incomes, after all
other taxes, investments and charitable, religious or educational, etc. donations.
Employers need not fear they would get fewer hours of labor-input than they pay for: they would
still get 40-hours of labor-time put into their businesses for the 40-hours of pay they are paying
for, but it would be by 2 employees working 20 hours each instead of 1 employee working 40.
From the employee's point of view the extra 20 hours of pay would be in EIC's funded by that
surtax on the net surplus incomes of the general rich that exceed $51,670.89 (in 2008) AFTER all
their costs of doing business, AFTER all their other taxes, AFTER all their investments (including
both principal and interest in their real estate and business-borrowing; and AFTER all their
donations.
But with millions more people employed at a living wage around the world, there would be sufficient
effective demand-pull to place now idle productive capacity into operation.
What's more, with a better distribution of personal consumption incomes the market for cheaper
shoddier less durable goods would shrink, and the market for better quality, more durable goods
would expand.
20-hours work for 40-hours pay is also the ONLY macro-way to successfully integrate the over 2
billion people in the world who earn less than a dollar a day and who have no access to clean water,
much less to consumer-appliances or computers, or the newer-complex of Green-Technologies.
This policy would make their demand for goods and services effective all across the board, by
giving them access to decent employment at decent pay.
Moreover, 20-for-40 is necessary because of the “productivity trap”.
The market economy makes profits possible for anyone by mainly, and continually, making labor-
power more productive per unit-time input. This makes society wealthier in the “short” run, but in
the long run, it makes people appear redundant and expendable, leading to the wars and
genocide that have often accompanied a crisis in the economy.
The ONLY way to peacefully solve the “productivity trap” – even in prosperous nations -- is by
enacting 20-for-40 + EICs. Milton Friedman knew this. That’s why he proposed it and Reagan
accepted it.
20-for-40 + EICs is also the ONLY way to adequately fund SSA and Medicare from payroll taxes, as
20-4-40 is paid by EIC transfer-payments from the general rich to the payroll account of ALL
businesses, and with a much higher rate of employment.
Moreover, the effect on agriculture of 20-4-40 + EICs is to end the trend to larger and larger farms
with ever bigger machinery, and place a premium on smaller, diversified family farms with smaller
machinery, and more hand hoeing and weeding by family members and hired-hands, rather than
poisoning our air, land and surface and sub-surface water with herbicides.
Also, 20-4-40 +EICs would solve the immigrant-worker crisis by providing sufficient employment for
the unemployed and under employed both in the countries from which migrants currently flee out of
stark economic necessity, and in the countries to which the flee -- but without taking away jobs
from the citizens of the countries to which they flee. Before NAFTA, real Mexican wages were 1/3 of
those in the US; since NAFTA, they are 1/16th. So it is plain than mainly the corporate elites in
both Mexico and the US are benefiting from NAFTA, at the expense of both the Mexican and USA
working families.
Because the natural Milankovitch cycle for global glaciations is currently set for global cooling, but
we are actually suffering global warming due to mankind's activities; and because a recent study
from Green America and the Clean Tech Jobs Trends shows that Clean Energy creates new jobs
more than dirty energy by factors of 5:1 and 8:1, I support cap-and-trade in principle. However, I
haven't had the opportunity to read the House Bill, so I don't know which secondary portions of it I
might oppose.
However, I do propose converting the surface are of dirty coal mines and allied installations to 60%
Employee-Owned clean solar-thermal power-generating plants using technology from www.ausra.com
with the former coal-miners and coal-powered power-plant staff re-trained to largely own,
manufacture, install and operate such solar-thermal (or wind-driven) power plants.
20-for-40 + EICs, and the Federal Personhood Amendment, protecting the right to life from the
moment of fertilization/conception to the moment of natural death, are two principal reasons I
seek to become US Senator from Illinois.

both of volunteering or donating, please phone me at (618)-494-5080, or write me at:

The Senatorial Campaign Rents Its
Proportional Share of the Company's URL
Proportional Share of the Company's URL
What Next?
There is now no candidate for US Senator from Illinois who is both Pro-Life and Pro-Equity and
Pro-Conceal and Carry, yet A-rated with I.C.H.C!
And those Republicans who were defeated in the Primary on Feb. 2, 2010, are not eligible to
run in the General Election on Nov. 2, 2010, neither as Independents (10 ILCS 5/10-3 ¶ D nor
as Write-Ins (10 ILCS 5/17-16 ¶ D), and since I was bumped from the Primary Ballot by a
successful complaint, I am the only Pro-Life, Pro-Conceal-and-Carry candidate formerly
contending for the Republican nomination; and the Only Contender publicly running a the Pro-
Equity Platform, therefore I am SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING TO RUN AS A WRITE-IN in the
General Election, to give Pro-Life, Pro-Equity and Pro-Gun rights citizens a choice in November.
I hope to bicycle downstream throughout all the Counties of Illinois, meeting both
Republicans, Democrats and Greens and any interested citizen, at the Public Libraries of each
County Seat; and passing out my cards to persons at county, neighborhood, or regional Job
Centers and Unemployment Compensation Offices; and local media in each county.
But I will need Regular Donations of at least $1,000.oo per month to do this.
ON THE FISCAL CRISIS OF GOVERNMENTS/ON EQUITY
Remember, neither fiscal extravagance (Obama; Giannoulis), not fiscal hawkishness (Kirk) will
get us out of the present crisis of unemployment and under-employment, which is the latest
forebodings of the eventual general crisis of the capitalists’ control of the Market.
I propose making Working and Small-Business Families the Leading group in the Free-Market
economy by 20-for-40 + EICs (see below) in Lock-Box transfer payments via a Social-Wages
fund taxed on the surplus consumption incomes of general rich of each country signatory of
such a Treaty, and transferred in the current-year or on the following year’s tax-return, to the
working persons of that nation; And by requiring that the Boards of Directors of all business
entities having 100 or more waged or salaried employees be 1/3 employees; 1/3 owners,
stock- and bond-holders, and insurers; and 1/3 from the public from the Cities, Counties and
States (or Provinces) and Nations where that business entity have one or more facilities, as
foretold in the Christian Scripture (Revelation 16:19).
ON CLIMATE-CHANGE
I also propose fee-and-dividend on dirty fuels: fee of $115 per ton of carbon dioxide at the
well-head, mine or port of entry; dividends paid to each legal resident of the USA at about
$2,000-$3,000 per single adult per year, and $7,000 - $9,000 per family of four(with two
children) (See below). This gives each person and family a material incentive to reduce their
carbon footprint, but without transferring incomes out of their pockets to the speculators and
multi-nationals and their local spin-offs, as cap-and-“trade” (read: cap-and-tax) would. And
both the USA and China could more likely agree on fee-and-dividend and never on cap-and-
trade, as climatologist James Hansen argues (see below).
As for those who say global warming is not taking place: even the National Review, the flag-
ship weekly of the conservative movement, says that global warming is the long-term trend,
but that it admits of local and regional inconsistencies (Dec.21, 2009; Vol. LXI, No 23, p. 28:
“Trust Science, As, indeed, you already do”, by John Derbyshire).
ON HEALTH-CARE
We are all going to continually pay more for health care – either in higher premiums to cover
the cost of emergency-room care for the uninsured; or in taxes to pay for the public option.
Of the two, cheaper way to go, and for better and universal care, and whether for small
business, individuals, families or the macro-economy, is the public option.
So, in general, I favor the House Bill, and would add to it a graduated health-care sur-charge
on individual health insurance premiums of $8,000 or more per annum. I DO NOT favor
cutting Medicare to fund this but extending Medicare, with Medicare premiums graduated to
annual income.
AND by forbidding any public funding of elective abortions AS WELL as forbidding any private-
funding of elective abortion across State lines. And the law MUST read, “elective abortion is
any abortion NOT needed to preserve the physical life of the mother, as in the cases of
ectopic pregnancy, mutual chemical toxicity, or major, life-threatening malignant tumor in the
uterine area that is inoperable without an abortion, but all of these only at the choice of the
mother, and after a court-hearing to prove the serious threat to the mother’s life, pursuant to
Amendment V of the US Constitution’s requirement for due-process, AND because massive,
continually mounting evidence is that elective abortion HARMS at least 4 times as many
mothers as it helps (www.aferabortion.org ).
I DO NOT favor the Senate Bill, except for the graduated sur-tax on higher premiums, but
also because it would allow public funding of abortions by accounting-tricks.
ON SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS AND DUTIES
Despite that I favor Conceal-and-Carry, I know the 2nd Amendment is subtle and ambiguous
in wording, and so requires that arms and those armed be well-regulated. It is not a blanket
right to criminals or the mentally unstable to carry or even own weapons. So I get an A rating
from the Illinois Citizens for Handgun Control.
I have been here-in very honest with voters. What you read here is what you’d get from me
as, hopefully, your next Senator. But remember: I’d be only one of 99 other Senators and
over 400 Representatives. We need to elect other like-minded Senators and Representatives
to the Congress from throughout the USA; and Presidents; and State and Local officials – all
more or less like-minded on Pro-Life, Pro-Equity, Pro-Health, Pro-Green and Pro-2nd
Amendment Rights and Duties!
There is now no candidate for US Senator from Illinois who is both Pro-Life and Pro-Equity and
Pro-Conceal and Carry, yet A-rated with I.C.H.C!
And those Republicans who were defeated in the Primary on Feb. 2, 2010, are not eligible to
run in the General Election on Nov. 2, 2010, neither as Independents (10 ILCS 5/10-3 ¶ D nor
as Write-Ins (10 ILCS 5/17-16 ¶ D), and since I was bumped from the Primary Ballot by a
successful complaint, I am the only Pro-Life, Pro-Conceal-and-Carry candidate formerly
contending for the Republican nomination; and the Only Contender publicly running a the Pro-
Equity Platform, therefore I am SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING TO RUN AS A WRITE-IN in the
General Election, to give Pro-Life, Pro-Equity and Pro-Gun rights citizens a choice in November.

Republicans, Democrats and Greens and any interested citizen, at the Public Libraries of each
County Seat; and passing out my cards to persons at county, neighborhood, or regional Job
Centers and Unemployment Compensation Offices; and local media in each county.
But I will need Regular Donations of at least $1,000.oo per month to do this.
ON THE FISCAL CRISIS OF GOVERNMENTS/ON EQUITY
Remember, neither fiscal extravagance (Obama; Giannoulis), not fiscal hawkishness (Kirk) will
get us out of the present crisis of unemployment and under-employment, which is the latest
forebodings of the eventual general crisis of the capitalists’ control of the Market.
I propose making Working and Small-Business Families the Leading group in the Free-Market
economy by 20-for-40 + EICs (see below) in Lock-Box transfer payments via a Social-Wages
fund taxed on the surplus consumption incomes of general rich of each country signatory of
such a Treaty, and transferred in the current-year or on the following year’s tax-return, to the
working persons of that nation; And by requiring that the Boards of Directors of all business
entities having 100 or more waged or salaried employees be 1/3 employees; 1/3 owners,
stock- and bond-holders, and insurers; and 1/3 from the public from the Cities, Counties and
States (or Provinces) and Nations where that business entity have one or more facilities, as
foretold in the Christian Scripture (Revelation 16:19).
ON CLIMATE-CHANGE
I also propose fee-and-dividend on dirty fuels: fee of $115 per ton of carbon dioxide at the
well-head, mine or port of entry; dividends paid to each legal resident of the USA at about
$2,000-$3,000 per single adult per year, and $7,000 - $9,000 per family of four(with two
children) (See below). This gives each person and family a material incentive to reduce their
carbon footprint, but without transferring incomes out of their pockets to the speculators and
multi-nationals and their local spin-offs, as cap-and-“trade” (read: cap-and-tax) would. And
both the USA and China could more likely agree on fee-and-dividend and never on cap-and-
trade, as climatologist James Hansen argues (see below).
As for those who say global warming is not taking place: even the National Review, the flag-
ship weekly of the conservative movement, says that global warming is the long-term trend,
but that it admits of local and regional inconsistencies (Dec.21, 2009; Vol. LXI, No 23, p. 28:
“Trust Science, As, indeed, you already do”, by John Derbyshire).
ON HEALTH-CARE
We are all going to continually pay more for health care – either in higher premiums to cover
the cost of emergency-room care for the uninsured; or in taxes to pay for the public option.
Of the two, cheaper way to go, and for better and universal care, and whether for small
business, individuals, families or the macro-economy, is the public option.
So, in general, I favor the House Bill, and would add to it a graduated health-care sur-charge
on individual health insurance premiums of $8,000 or more per annum. I DO NOT favor
cutting Medicare to fund this but extending Medicare, with Medicare premiums graduated to
annual income.
AND by forbidding any public funding of elective abortions AS WELL as forbidding any private-
funding of elective abortion across State lines. And the law MUST read, “elective abortion is
any abortion NOT needed to preserve the physical life of the mother, as in the cases of
ectopic pregnancy, mutual chemical toxicity, or major, life-threatening malignant tumor in the
uterine area that is inoperable without an abortion, but all of these only at the choice of the
mother, and after a court-hearing to prove the serious threat to the mother’s life, pursuant to
Amendment V of the US Constitution’s requirement for due-process, AND because massive,
continually mounting evidence is that elective abortion HARMS at least 4 times as many
mothers as it helps (www.aferabortion.org ).
I DO NOT favor the Senate Bill, except for the graduated sur-tax on higher premiums, but
also because it would allow public funding of abortions by accounting-tricks.
ON SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS AND DUTIES
Despite that I favor Conceal-and-Carry, I know the 2nd Amendment is subtle and ambiguous
in wording, and so requires that arms and those armed be well-regulated. It is not a blanket
right to criminals or the mentally unstable to carry or even own weapons. So I get an A rating
from the Illinois Citizens for Handgun Control.
I have been here-in very honest with voters. What you read here is what you’d get from me
as, hopefully, your next Senator. But remember: I’d be only one of 99 other Senators and
over 400 Representatives. We need to elect other like-minded Senators and Representatives
to the Congress from throughout the USA; and Presidents; and State and Local officials – all
more or less like-minded on Pro-Life, Pro-Equity, Pro-Health, Pro-Green and Pro-2nd
Amendment Rights and Duties!
