At an #IsThereEnough #Money event, participants are invited to:
Agreement is not required. Honest participation is.
America currently relies heavily on taxes placed directly on income, work, business activity, and consumption.
The Unburden America proposal asks whether a very small charge on the movement of money through the financial system could help fund government while reducing the burden placed directly on people and businesses.
The event is where that idea is introduced, examined, questioned, and challenged in public.
This section should remain brief. The event itself, and the Unburden America prelaunch materials, provide the fuller explanation.
The host introduces the question of whether America has enough money moving through its economy to fund the government differently.
Participants hear the basic Unburden America proposal and what it could potentially make possible.
Questions, objections, concerns, alternatives, and improvements are welcomed.
