Bob Jene will examine the American Monetary Institute’s American Monetary Act, a proposed amendment to the Constitution, and compare it with Henry George’s ideas on money. Steve Zarlenga’s speech in which he shows George’s ideas on money coincide with AMI’s will also be examined and discussed. It will boil down to which is more important, Henry George’s proposed fiscal reform or Zarlenga’s monetary reform.

Would Rube Goldberg have been able to design a less straightforward system of funding government than the U S Federal income tax? In this presentation, HGS instructor Bob Jene looks at what it costs to collect this revenue. The direct cost to the government of operating the Internal Revenue Service is only a small part, as the burden put on the taxpayer, and the diversion of effort from productive uses, should also be considered.
As farmland yields to “higher-value” uses, how (and how well and how inexpensively) will we eat? Bob Jene reviews data from a leading agricultural preservation organization, the American Farmland Trust (AFT). Among other things they buy development rights from landowners to insure continued farming use, and attempt to facilitate community supported agriculture which makes family farms more viable. A Georgist fiscal reform encourages more conservative and productive use of all land and reduces sprawl, thus preventing encroachment on farmland. An alliance with AFT would benefit us both.
