The Policy
The RPC will work to reduce or entirely eliminate the number of government forms, filings, paperwork, processes, and other red tape which are burdensome for businesses and intimidating and confusing for many individuals; this unnecessary complexity was intentionally added as a social barrier to give a further advantage the ultrawealthy with armies of lawyers and accountants - at the detriment of everyone else.
The Research
Our Broader Stance on:
Money is one of the most powerful tools humans have ever invented. Like many other tools, originally created for the betterment of society, money has been co-opted by a few ultrawealthy (sometimes referred to as Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (UHNWI)) members of society as a weapon they use to exert control of others.
Given that money is only a representation of value, not value itself, and that society frequently makes changes to our financial and economic systems - we need to reform our taxation system to ensure our money is only the means to our other desired ends, not an end unto itself.
