    The future or maybe not!

    Future Shock.

    World Summary: Earth Government - Central Senate

    Individual world governments no longer exist except one Earth Government aka
    Central Senate. The Central Senate rules over all countries in the world.

    Taxes: The Biggest Global Impact.
    Summary: Because of Global warming, the earth has suffered immensely and as a result oxygen levels within the earth are less than in the year 2011, therefore the Central Senate issued state controlled oxygen centres such as shopping malls, work places, hospitals and homes outside of these people must wear synthetic personal oxygen masks to breathe for which you must pay a tax which goes to state emergency rainforest disaster program.

    Other Taxes issued by the Senate and which all citizens must pay are as follows:

    Death Tax: A tax which has replaced Insurance, which must be paid by you, the amount payable is related to age and height, the older you are the more you must pay, for a burial space for you. Space is allocated according to height.

    Health Tax: You must pay a health tax on illness and medication. This replaces
    medical cards, doctor schemes and other discounts. Health tax is where you must pay in order to recieve treatment and medication from the CSDS (Central State Doctor Service) Which is the only offical doctor and hospital service. No tax no treatment, its as simple as that.

    Birth tax: Each child born costs the government money. So parents must pay a tax on each child born, every year of its life until he/she reaches the age of 19 years. This is to cover what the child needs for his/her future. This replaces bank accounts or bonds and must be paid to the CBS ( Central Banking System ) each year without fail.

    Oxygen Tax: ( Close to taxable breathing )
    Tax on oxygen usage outside of Central Senate controlled oxygen centres must be paid.


    Food Tax:
    Tax on all foods consumed and waste must be paid. The tax is paid at point of
    purchase and goes directly to the Earth Plantation Farming Association, which
    replenishes all food sources and sources which were used in all product
    manufacture.

    Light Tax: Tax on all electric lights that are switched on after 8pm each night. The tax must be paid on all lights used from 8pm to 5am inclusive. Tax goes to
    sustainable energy.

    Transport Tax:
    Since personal cars no longer exist, except transport pods which use a source of food waste and fats as energy to move the pod. Tax must be paid for daily and distant usage. The more used the more tax is payable. A higher rate of tax is issued during the hours of 11pm to 6am, this is named, Night Disturbance Violation Tax.

    Identification:
    Passports, ID cards, Drivers Licence, Birth Certificates etc are no longer in use.
    In use: PM ( Personal Microchip )
    When a child is born, the child is given a micro chip which is implanted just below the skin. The chip stays within the body throughout life. The chip will be altered as required by the CSCI ( Central Senate Citizen Information Authority ) at local station points. The chip contains personal information about the person such as:name, age, date of birth, a scanned image, Id number, credit number, credit history, medical information, education, legal incursions ( if any )and travel tracking.

    Citizen Tracking: CTSS ( Central Tracking Systems Satelitte )
    Each citizen is tracked and monitored by CTSS. Each time a citizen leaves the
    country of residence the CTSS is notified when borders are crossed on both
    departure and arrival & vice versa. The CTSS knows where you are and notifies the Senate Citizen Control of your movement.

    Technology:
    Top daily internet site hit: CTSS person view.
    Using CTSS and IMG Control, key in a name / address / date of birth, and country of origin, to find the person you are looking for and you can watch them in their day to day life, such as shopping, working, cooking, cleaning etc. Run from 9.30 am to 8pm daily ( certain restrictions apply )

    Money: No coin or paper money is used anymore. The Senate recalled all coins and notes and replaced them with a Plastic Token Counter Card. The card is purchased using a number and token system. The more numbers you have saved the more tokens you recieve to be able to purchase items or services.


    This vision of the future is for entertainment purposes only and not to be taken

    seriously.

    Im seriously expecting a Tax Tax in todays budget. Its basically a tax you pay for every unit of tax that you already pay.

    Tax on talking - As you might perverse another cleaner mind with thoughts of an unneccessary nature.

    Tax on typing - €.10c per letter. bye bye mods

    Tax on thinking - no more math or science for the kids

    Tax on training - because to learn how to pay tax is taxing itself

    Individual world governments no longer exist except one Earth Government aka

    The World Bank, they have screwed poorer economies for ages

    Taxes: The Biggest Global Impact.

    If the oxygen was liquidised it would be 2 meters deep , so no shortage there enough for thousands of years. There are oxygen vending machines in Tokyo though

    Death Tax: A tax which has replaced Insurance, which must be paid by you, the amount payable is related to age and height, the older you are the more you must pay, for a burial space for you. Space is allocated according to height.
    so why would anyone save money ?
    and would you not get a Soylent rebate ??
    Inheritance tax dropped to 20% used to be 40% (CGT may go up in budget)[b/]

    Health Tax: You must pay a health tax on illness and medication. This State Doctor Service) Which is the only offical doctor and hospital service. No tax no treatment, its as simple as that.
    A&E is €100 already , private is €120 so no major difference already
    VHI isn't voluntary if you can afford it


    Birth tax:
    apart from food and clothes every cent you spend on a child is taxed

    Oxygen Tax: ( Close to taxable breathing )
    Tax on oxygen usage outside of Central Senate controlled oxygen centres must be paid.
    oxygen shortage is not an issue we are currently paying tax on everything, mainly fuel, that uses oxygen apart from food.

    Food Tax:
    no we don't pay this directly, but stealth taxes on bin charges mean we do and subsidies for farmers means we really pay a lot here

    Light Tax: Tax on all electric lights that are switched on after 8pm each night. The tax must be paid on all lights used from 8pm to 5am inclusive. Tax goes to
    sustainable energy.we pay vat on electricity, and a subsidy for substainable energy, and a connection charge

    Transport Tax:
    Tax must be paid for daily and distant usage. The more used the more tax is payable. A higher rate of tax is issued during the hours of 11pm to 6am, this is named, Night Disturbance Violation Tax.we paid over €600m for that feckin bridge, and the small fraction of the population who use it have to pay more than before too.
    In other EU countries GPS tolling is a reality and the UK are piloting a country wide scheme


    Identification:
    Passports, ID cards, Drivers Licence, Birth Certificates etc are no longer in use.
    In use: PM ( Personal Microchip )
    When a child is born, the child is given a micro chip which is implanted just below the skin.
    almost everyone carries a mobile phone , costs the state zero.
    in Korea you can pay for most things using your mobile phone as a credit card


    Citizen Tracking: CTSS ( Central Tracking Systems Satelitte )
    mobile phones means that people are locatable to the nearest CCTV camera at all times

    Technology:
    Top daily internet site hit: CTSS person view.
    IIRC vodaphone had this feature on thier web site, type in a mobile and it showed you where the person was, the public interface was pulled

    Money: No coin or paper money is used anymore. The Senate recalled all coins and notes and replaced them with a Plastic Token Counter Card. The card is purchased using a number and token system. The more numbers you have saved the more tokens you recieve to be able to purchase items or services.
    tokens ???
    Korea is most of the way to becoming a cash less society
    here you really only need coins unless you or the person you are paying is trying to avoid paying tax.
    The amount works out at 34.5 minutes at the minimum wage


    This vision of the future is for entertainment purposes only and not to be taken seriously.
    too late , it's already happened.

    Lol! I was imagining what the future would be for fun. What with all the taxes we pay, I can see that in the future we will be taxed up to the tens never mind the nines!

    Lets just say that what I wrote is an extension of things that are happening now
    or maybe not!!
    :D

    Sub note of the future. At a point in the future gadzillions beyond the relative future as we know it oxygen shortages will be more common place because of industrialisation and production and the destruction of the rainforest!
