What can be done to make the world better?

What can be done to make the world the best it possibly can be?

There are a few simple changes that can be implemented right now, without delay, that could change the world forever and for the better.

The present world contains those who are vastly wealthier than the majority. Yet these people have nearly always done nothing of worth to lay any rightful claim to such wealth. In fact, there is nothing to justify owning millions of times more than most other people on earth. The vast excess wealth of the super rich must be removed. One simple change can achieve this. Governments can begin to receive, as a tax, the wealth left behind by individuals who die. No one has a right to money other than the individual who has earned it, and they only have the right to it when they are living. Dead people cease to have rights by virtue of being dead. Dead people no longer need money by virtue of being dead. Dead people do not have the right to dictate to whom their wealth should be given. Logically, the excess wealth of a dead person must be given to ALL the remaining living people; it must become part of the commonwealth. If a government is a good government, it will represent the general will of the people. Such a government does have the right to lay claim to the excess wealth left behind by a dead person. Such a government would use this wealth for the benefit of everybody else. This is 100% Inheritance Tax, one law that can change the world for the better. No one has the right to bestow their wealth upon other people of their choosing. This mechanism has allowed wealthy families to remain perpetually wealthy from one generation to the next, regardless of the talents and merit of the members of those families. No one has the right to give their children a financial advantage at the expense of the children of less wealthy families. 100% Inheritance Tax will end this forever. Every child will then be born at the same level and will be able to rise as high as their own merit allows, regardless of which family they are born into. This would be genuine equality of opportunity for everyone. No one can be allowed to reward those who have done nothing to deserve rewarding, and no one can be allowed to be excessively rewarded. It cannot go on. There is no place for excessive wealth in the 21st Century. There is no place for privilege in the 21st Century. There is no place for inheritance in the 21st Century. Everybody must make themselves, by themselves, whatever they are capable of being. Imagine how much better funded governments would be if they regularly received the wealth left behind by the dead. Imagine the benefit to the economy if wealthy families were no longer able to hoard excessive wealth. Imagine the benefits to society if this wealth was no longer funding mansions and super-cars for the super-rich, but, rather, public health and high-quality education for everybody. Just as nobody has the right to bestow a financial advantage to their children, so do they not have the right to buy a higher quality of education for their children, at the expense of other, less fortunate children. Private education can only be experienced by the children of the excessively wealthy. These children are given a greater opportunity, not due to possessing any greater talent, but simply because they have rich parents. A private education leads to more advantageous social connections, as these children are put in touch with other wealthy families who, due to undeserved financial advantages, have been fast-tracked to the top of society. Private education is simply not fair. Every child must be given the same quality of education, free of charge. Only then can they be judged on their own merits, regardless of their family. There is no place for private education in the 21st Century. It has to stop. No one has the right to it. It results in governments being comprised of, almost exclusively, the privately educated elite. Such a government only serves the rest of the privately educated elite. Such a government will never bring in 100% Inheritance Tax, will never ban private education, will never even reform education to remove archaic irrationality from society. Such irrationality is still taught in schools as well as at home by parents. Children are still routinely brainwashed to believe what their parents believe regardless of the credibility of such beliefs. Education must be the platform upon which a child can form their own beliefs based on reason, rationality and logic. Children must be taught truly relevant subjects such as mathematics, philosophy, science, religion, psychology and the creative arts. They must be spared from brainwashing particularly of a religious nature. Children can not be indoctrinated into the religion of their parents before they are mature enough to decide for themselves. It is an abomination for society to allows parents to introduce their child into a religion before said children can even think! The baptism, circumcision, or other kind of religious initiation must not be allowed to be practiced on children, nor can children be allowed to attend religious ceremonies in buildings such as churches, synagogues, mosques and temples. Such places of worship must be strictly adults only. There is no place for religious indoctrination in the 21st Century. There is no place for the religious initiation of children in the 21st Century. There is no place for the physical mutilation of children in the 21st Century! There is simply no excuse for it. All children must be given a high quality education that seeks to unleash all the talents of each child.

Once again:

There is no place for excessive wealth in the 21st Century.
There is no place for privilege in the 21st Century.
There is no place for inheritance in the 21st Century.
There is no place for private education in the 21st Century.
There is no place for religious indoctrination in the 21st Century.
There is no place for the religious initiation of children in the 21st Century. There is no place for the physical mutilation of children in the 21st Century.

The removal of the above from society will immediately change the world for the better. We can create a society of enlightened individuals all actualising their potential.

It can be done!

It must be done!
