Before people unite to form something, such as a marriage or corporation,
they usually create an image of what their relationship will be like. If this
image differs greatly from what they experience, they usually separate.
Problems may arise if any property was created during their union, such as a
house or factory. Whatever caused their separation also may cause disagreements
in dividing their united property. Ingeniously, many people solve this problem
by writing a contract before they get together, stating how any property should
be divided.
Problems may still exist if people do not honor their contracts. To solve
this, governments step in and divide any disputed property. If governments
would charge for this valuable service, they could make the money to operate—
without taxation.
When people draw up a contract, they could purchase a contract insurance
policy from their government. This would insure that all the partners would get
what they deserve from their relationship. If someone did not follow the terms
of the agreement, the government would have permission to distribute any common
property according to the contract.
Of course, no one would have to buy this insurance. People should be free
to resolve any disagreements by talking with their partners. But if partners
began taking from each other, this would be robbery, and the government should
stop them. All uninsured partners would lose the use of their common property
if they could not agree with each other.
Today, most people buy fire and medical insurance to protect them against
a major loss. Most people would buy contract insurance for the same reason.
With all the contracts that are signed each day, our government could earn the
money to maintain the best military, police, court and prison system in the
world. This would protect all the people in our nation—without robbing us to do
it.
With this system, for the first time in history, people could live in
peace. Our government would continue to defend each person's home and business
against criminals. The big improvement would be that the no-tax restriction
added to our constitution would defend each person's property against our
government.
With the elimination of robbery in our nation, we would find that we could
satisfy all our other needs with much less effort. When people can keep what
they earn, it does not take long for them to trade with each other and acquire
what they need to live well. Peace and prosperity are possible for those who
are willing to think about how to achieve them.
