Basic economics:
If it costs $1500 per month, ($1000 for Housing & Utilities, $500 for Nourishment)…
A Population of 100,000 people would total $150,000,000 per month in Cost of living expenses.
Assume the State Government operated all business that provide necessity services & products to the citizens, because no company should profit off the desperate needs of others. (How much is being financially secure worth to you? Would you break the law if it provided financial security for you and your family?)
We can assume that the basic “industries of necessities” produces and provide seeds, fertilizers, tools, metal processing, etc. etc. and does not outsource any work whatsoever. If this “Nourishment Production Industry” employs a total of 30,000 people, their minimum labor expenses amount to $45,000,000.
We know the population will spend $50,000,000/mo on food. That industry could hire up to 33,333 people and break even.
We know the population will spend $100,000,000/mo on Housing & Utitlies. These industries could hire up to 66,666 people, and break even.
But then we need government. So approximately 1000 Government employees to legislate, provide justice, police, and misc. gov’t duties. The profits made from the necessities would pay for the Public Servants.
This ultimately provides for a circular economy. It is self sustaining as the money earned goes out and comes back in. An infinite loop. But, ultimately, it’s no different than slavery. Slaves were provided all the necessities that were needed, including healthcare, food, housing, etc. So what happens when some people are paid only $1200/mo? They either don’t eat, or they share a living space, or they live on the streets. They make things work as much as possible. So to me, why would anyone pay people less than the cost of living? Greed, to pay the people at the top that do nothing but feed off of the hard labors of others. The wealth of a nation is earned by those laboring classes. Or perhaps to raise the value in stock in order to attract investors?
We don’t necessarily need to export anything in order to function, the only reason we need global trading is so that the parasitic bankers can continue to manipulate people into believing they are necessary. I recently read that the first bank founded by the Rothschilds in 1903 had to be desolved because a law required an audit 30 days after a bank opens its doors. Apparently, the fraud they were involved in was noticed immediately, and the corporation dissolved. How f*cked up is that? Not even open 30 days and trying to suck the blood out of our economy… Go figure. The math i see is that too many people on top, think they are worth more for doing much less.. they act as if they’re Nobility, and treat the classes responsible for their wealth as ignobles. Until the gap gets extremely smaller, this economy won’t see much of a rebound. Unless we wanted to pass legislation that prevented companies from paying out more than minimum wage to all, until unemployment is below 2%… and all profits are tax contributions to rebuild the economy.

I’m not claiming to be an economic expert, and perhaps I missed something, or it’s actually that simple.
I know it is a basic model, I didn’t want to make any longer than I had to in order to bring up a point. The problem with our economy (in my opinion) is that there are too many monkeys jumping on the bed.
I know I’ve made this point before, and while I find the concept difficult to support because of the level of salary ive been used to, I think it’s really the only way to go. Anything above the amount would be for going above on beyond, but that would be easy for me, cause i’m always working my bon bons off.
Bankers don’t deserve to be Millionares or Billionaires, while those people who labored day in and day out to pay for basics, so the banker can work an hour a day?
The more educated you are, the easier it is for you to do your job. The less educated you are, the harder (usually) you end up working. Do we really want to reward the parasites over the producers?
The example I provided makes it abundantly clear that an economic system could be created to provide every person with employment to provide for their own basic needs. As money is earned, it also is spent and the cycle repeats month after month. Compared to our system, which you may believe the economic growth occurs at a better rate, but I recall reading a study a while back that suggested this is false. Before the civil war, a great deal of progress had been made. War has been a great producer of innovation, but I would give up innovation to avoid a war, wouldn’t you?
Just something to chew over… the scheme currently in place is specifically geared to drain all the wealth from our country. And those who get rich today, leave the country and immigrate elsewhere.. their children no longer being obligated to contribute their fair share, like the rest of them…
