Ndi David Swanson, World BEYOND War
Ndalama zankhondo zaku US zaka zisanu ndi zitatu zapitazo zinali $ 1.2 zankhaninkhani, pachaka, pamene wina anawonjezera ma nukes mu Dipatimenti ya Mphamvu, Dipatimenti ya Chitetezo cha Kwawo, CIA, chiwongoladzanja pa ngongole, chisamaliro cha asilikali ankhondo, ndi zina zotero. Tsopano ziri pa $ 1.3 zankhaninkhani,. M'zaka zomwe ndalama zogwiritsira ntchito zankhondo zawonjezeka kwambiri, dziko la United States lakhala lotetezeka, losakondedwa, losakhazikika pa chilengedwe, lopanda ufulu, lolemera, lolekerera, komanso lopanda demokalase. Kusamutsa ndalama kumadera ena kwambiri amawonjezera chuma, kupindulitsa kusintha kwachuma komanso m'njira zina zambiri. Ndipotu, ndalama zomwezo zimagwiritsidwa ntchito pa ntchito zamphamvu zoyera akadzabweranso kuwonjezeka kwa 50% kwa msonkho pa ndalama zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito pa ntchito zankhondo.
Akuti kuthetsa umphaŵi wa ana kungapulumutse $ 0.5 zankhaninkhani, pachaka pakuchepetsa ndalama zothandizira zaumoyo, kusiya maphunziro, ndi umbanda. Kuyesera ndi Basic Income Guarantee kwenikweni kwatukula thanzi ndi maphunziro ndi kuchepetsa umbanda. Ndi bwino kuganiza kuti kuthetsa umphawi wa akuluakulu kungapangitsenso kuti pakhale ndalama zambiri. Tikudziwa kuti chithandizo chamankhwala cholipira kamodzi, chomwe ndalama zochepa, zingapangitse ndalama zambiri (ndi kuphimba asilikali ankhondo pamodzi ndi wina aliyense), ndipo mpweya wabwino, madzi, ndi nthaka zingachepetse kufunika kwa chithandizo chamankhwala. Tikudziwa kuti ndalama zothandizira mafuta oyaka, kutsekera anthu ambiri komanso kukulitsa misewu yayikulu ndizokwera mtengo kwambiri koma zosemphana. Ndipo tikudziwa kuti mabungwe olemera kwambiri komanso anthu pawokha amatha kukhomeredwa msonkho wa madola thililiyoni pachaka popanda kuvutika - zomwe zingakhale ndi phindu linalake ngakhale ndalama zitawotchedwa.
Palibe kutsutsa kwenikweni kuti pali ndalama zazikulu zogwirira ntchito. Pali, mophweka, funso la choti muchite ndi izo, kaya mukhome msonkho, ndipo ngati ndi msonkho momwe mungagwiritsire ntchito. Kapena, m'malo mwake, palibe funso ngati tikufuna kukhala ndi moyo monga zamoyo. A Ntchito Yatsopano Yatsopano zomwe zimapanga ntchito 20 miliyoni ndizofunikira. Msonkho wolakwika womwe umawononga ndalama $ Biliyoni 175 pachaka zimatheka bwino, ndipo zingawononge ndalama zocheperako (kapena kupereka zambiri kwa anthu ocheperapo) ngati zitapangidwa mophatikizana ndi ntchito 20 miliyoni komanso kuphatikiza ndi kuchepetsa kulikonse kwamapulogalamu othana ndi umphawi.
Kupatsa anthu omwe amazifuna ndalama kwinaku akusonkhetsa msonkho kwa anthu omwe angakwanitse kungafune kuti anthu azikhala ndi udindo wocheperapo kuposa momwe zilili pano, komanso zochepa kwambiri kuposa zomwe zimafunidwa ndi mapulogalamu ena. Sizikanauza anthu mmene amagwiritsira ntchito ndalama zawo kapena kuyesa kuyang’anira mmene amachitira. Zingakhale zaulemu kwambiri, ndipo ndawonapo zonena zambiri za dazi kuposa umboni woti aliyense angatenge ngati chipongwe. Koma zikanangotsala pang'ono kupatsa akuluakulu 285 miliyoni, kuphatikiza mabiliyoni, $ 50,000 pachaka. Izi zingawononge $ 14.25 trilioni. Koma ntchito 20 miliyoni pa $50,000 pachaka zingawononge $1 thililiyoni. Ndi chiwerengero chachikulu koma chotheka mwangwiro. Zinthu zina zofunika kwambiri ziyenera kusintha. Mwachitsanzo, ngati olengeza zamasewera akanathokoza asilikali awo chifukwa choonera m’mayiko 138 m’malo mwa 175, kodi aliyense angazindikire?
Pali njira mamiliyoni ambiri zothanirana ndi umphawi, padziko lonse lapansi kapena mocheperako. Ndimakonda angapo mwa iwo kuphatikiza, kuphatikiza kulembetsa mwalamulo ufulu wokonza migwirizano ndikunyanyala - zomwe zili ndi maubwino owonjezera ademokalase, kuphatikiza malipiro apamwamba omwe amamangiriridwa kumalipiro ochepa omwe mtengo wake umabwezeretsedwa komanso kukulitsidwa.
Buku latsopano lotchedwa Madola Zikwi Zochepa Wolemba Robert Friedman amawunika mosamala njira zingapo zochepetsera umphawi zomwe zatsimikizira kuti ndizothandiza. Zambiri mwazo zimaphatikizapo kupanga maakaunti osungira omwe amachulukitsa ndalama zomwe zasungidwa koma amaletsa momwe angagwiritsire ntchito. Kukulitsa lingaliroli kupitilira maloto a oyimira ake, popereka $3,000 kwa akulu 200 miliyoni, kungawononge $ 0.6 thililiyoni kuphatikiza utsogoleri.
M'buku lake, Friedman akuwunika maphunziro amilandu ndi mapangidwe abwino kwambiri aakaunti osungira operekedwa ku maphunziro, nyumba, ndi kuyambitsa mabizinesi. Koma zonsezi zimalepheretsa munthu kusankha zochita. Friedman alinso ndi GI Bill ngati chitsanzo cha mapulogalamu odana ndi umphawi chifukwa zopindulitsa zake zimapezedwa kudzera mu "ntchito". Kaya mukuganiza bwanji za zomwe zimatchedwa kuti ntchito komanso ngati titha kupulumuka kubwerezabwereza, zinali zokakamiza kwa anthu ambiri. Friedman akunena kuti lingaliro loti munthu sayenera kufuna "zopereka" ndi zomwe "zimapangitsa dziko lathu kukhala lalikulu" - ili ndi dziko lolemera lomwe lili ndi umphawi wambiri padziko lapansi. "Ukulu" sichimalumikizidwa konse mfundo.
Tsoka ilo, tilibe nthawi yolimbana ndi ziwembu zambiri, ndipo tikuyenera kugwiritsa ntchito njira zilizonse zomwe zingatheke padziko lonse lapansi, chifukwa umphawi wambiri uli pakati pa 96%. Koma zomwe timakakamizika kuchita, mwachitsanzo, kuyambitsa pulogalamu yayikulu yoteteza nyengo ndi chilengedwe, kusinthira kukhala mphamvu zoyera, kuchotsera zida ndikusintha kukhala mafakitale amtendere, zimapanganso ntchito m'njira zomwe sizinawonedwe ndi "oyambitsa ntchito" anu opambana kwambiri.
Tiyeni tiyambe!
