President Elect Barack Obama wants to run a Web 2.0 collaborative government.  The transition team has a website up soliciting input from citizens.  OK.  I’m a citizen.  Here’s my submitted input:

To immediately fix the economic crisis while solving the longer term problems with entitlements and medical care, call up Charles Murray of the American Enterprise Institute and ask him to construct legislative language implementing his plan as described in “In Our Hands: A Plan to Replace the Wefare State”.  Murray’s credentials guarantee very little Republican opposition if the Obama administration advances the idea.

Pres. Elect Obama says he wants ideas that will work and he’s not prejudiced by their source.  This is his chance to prove he’s serious.

Murray has proposed $10,000/year in monthly direct-deposit payments to every US citizen age 21 or older, possibly with $3000 of that withheld for health insurance.

For reasons I’ve previously outlined I don’t believe he is serious enough to legislate a citizen’s dividend:

The closest we are likely to come to stability is if Obama is elected and imposes a net asset tax.  But this will merely trade private sector rent-seeking for public sector rent-seeking as there is no way Obama will let working whites have any of their patrimony back without walking hat-in-hand into their local government offices and/or precinct political meetings to genuflect appropriately.  Even then it will be very grudging and selectively doled out only to the most obsequious and “non threatening” of whites—which immediately disqualifies almost all working whites who don’t have biracial children.

I hope he proves me wrong about his supposed seriousness as a leader of a mutiracial society.  If he does implement something like Murray’s equivalent to a citizen’s dividend, not only will it expose immigration as the dilution of carrying capacity that it is, it will let lower income Euroams, including young people, migrate much more freely.  For many will this will mean flight from diversity or what I’ve called “assortative migration”.  Even though this is handicapped assortation—since there will be others who will pursue Euroams (particularly young Euroam women) wherever they flee—the existence of true freedom to migrate will make obvious the most fundamental human right of all—freedom of association—is directly attacked by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965.
