Oil belongs to the people .. Install the right and the options open

Adel Abdul Mahdi

20/02/2012 10:23 AM

Beginning of the reform, we have a great opportunity to reform the entire economic situation of the application of the constitutional article (111), which says the people to the ownership of oil and gas. Venkhvv sagging of the State and the pressure for employment ..

And are removing millions from the poverty line .. And start launching the economy and end the holidays Abannaana and the state monopoly. Our vision depends on the pillars interlinking .. Distribution of oil resources and a policy of moving tax.

Instead of going the full resources of the state of the distribution of some of the citizens as a gift and an honor, we change the relationship and turn the equation to receive people and its oil resources allocated to the government and the state you need the full expenses for his service in the form of taxes, moving ..

The people's right to the foundation by the Constitution and the interest .. Viazz concept of citizenship and civil economy and the start of the end of the rentier state. And visualization and figures and ratios below simplistic and is only hypothetical.

Oil imports (90) trillion dinars .. And population (30) million = 3 million dinars per citizen per year, and Snsmih "income base" .. And distributes the money through the banks to encourage citizens to open accounts and promote the banking habit necessary for the growth of any modern economy ..

And local funds can be established to address the structural weakness of the spread of the banking system .. Where we have a branch bank for about (60) thousand citizens, as it is (8.5) thousand in Jordan, for example Nguetta of "income base" starting "oil tax", but not (70%) .. And receives the state - to an elementary deduction - without barriers on (63) trillion / JD, add the rest of the resources to form a budget ..

And will remain, however, every citizen (75) thousand dinars per month .. No (450) thousand dinars for the family based on the average family (6) than other sources of income. This would eliminate the poverty line, almost. Can be a progressive tax for high income .. And start the rationalization of support policies ..

And reduce expenses, which will provide money for the treasury .. And receives state allocations and gets the citizens of their rights. It's technically not difficult and application of ration card, without great difficulties to overlook the social and economic real .. Kaanmalat increasing laziness, begging and class differences ..

And inflation and the increasing tendency to import and transformation of citizens in some way to the employment of the State .. And fluctuations in oil prices and the construction of the budget estimates ..

These are facts, fears and side effects can be treated, without stopping the process by which true healing. Remain the largest political difficulty .. Vstquaomh Alaqtaat administrative .. And minds, the central bureaucracy of the state monopoly rents for everything .. Vtantf handful while growing destruction of the country and getting poorer and the majority needed.

The right of the people in the oil .. The maturity of the state to toll no longer allowed the interpretation of our contemporary history Vnger personal factors of people, to get back after a Belanhm. Our problem basically a system that we have and who eats his children, and can not produce, but the devastation and poverty that we saw and we see before us ..

There is no doubt that oil lies in the heart of it. Confirm that the people and looked Maalikis theory and book now, but will lead to codify a series of subsequent accumulations would correct the system .. It also led to the accumulation of negative precedent degradation and corrupting. As for those who fear the state budget, we say ..

That the distribution of 30% of citizens and which will ensure "entered the basis of" rate of (450) thousand dinars per month for each family of six people on average, and the payment of "oil tax" rate (70%, according to our hypothesis) will not enter the factor disorder is important them, especially if the codified legislation as of the coming years, was chosen as the appropriate form.

These are some reasons. 1 - consume 70% of the operating budget .. And will ease the "income basis," the pressure to increase the Angels, though disguised unemployment and sagging rate that makes the daily work in the state (20) minutes, according to some studies.

2 - are the values ​​of social assistance 15% of the current budget ..

Without the expense of operating costs and administrative ministries and corrupt contracts. And will provide "the basis of income" in the rationalization of the number and organization of support and better rationalization of the budget.

3 - return of the budget is an important part of the (30%) distributed to citizens in the form of income tax and indirect taxes.

The high income citizen (900) thousand dinars per year will increase the number subject to withholding tax rates upward to reduce the inequality .. And will increase the pump (30%) of the actual demand and economic activity.

Although it may encourage inflation and rising import prices and in its early stages, but also will encourage the production motives .. Especially if they followed the policies of customs and to prevent monopoly and manipulation of prices. It will contribute to the increase in taxes that promote the budget.

4 - This policy tool will provide a flexible and clear of the Legislature and the Executive to move the economy more effective and feasibility of current policies, its conclusion that the reactions of address order and forget things, Fterehg budgets ..

And will allow more flexibility for the organization of financial and administrative decentralization by provinces and territories, according to slides and sectors .. It could include the budget law each year adjustments and ratios for the "oil tax" that allows the direction the economy for the better, according to estimates by state of the economy and markets.

Ownership of the oil .. Laziness and inequality can be during or after Parliament passed Law 2012 budget to include material says .. "The constitutional basis of Article (111) ... has decided the House of Representatives legislation to tax oil.

And decided increase of 100% of the oil resources in 2012 .. and ask the organization of the House of Representatives Budget 2013 on the basis of tax oil up to 70-80% of the estimated oil resources and the distribution of the remaining citizens equally.

" This is the beginning you will need the instructions and other laws. It's technically easier than the ration card .. No items in kind .. And contracts .. And the corruption of goods and souls .. Stores and transport .. Money is easier memorization, a transition. Citizens can - after rationing - start to open bank accounts ..

For the banks to open branches and departments and the various funds. Either financially, economically and socially things are much harder .. We will need re-evaluate support policies to rationalize the interest of the poor and improve their ..

And evaluate the policies and customs of the inflationary and economic starting .. But now we stop at two things. The first two parts, encourage laziness .. And make the citizens as if they were employed by the state.

The foundation is not laziness Vmsdrh wealth and poverty .. But the values ​​and customs, social and educational .. There are communities of developed and developing countries to their citizens the rights of free large did not sow the spirit of laziness and dependency .. And to those who say that understanding that warns of the old / new logic to handle slaves ..

That it was not giving up rights to it Kvaffh Satma and rebel against his master. Such a view is contrary to civil laws and regulations of their interest in helping the poor, the needy and orphans and all forms of social assistance grants and facilities for the various segments of the population not to sustain subsistence but also for the transmission of the pump capacity and the best in people.

Mark and miserable argument poorer people be more productive. The second part Vintaleg of the principle of state ownership .. If the property returned to their owners, the state Vstanl the right place .. Servant to the people, and not vice versa. The second is that senior officials would not add to their gains the benefits of the current .. new

This is true, if not addressed by mobile Logic tax and upward. Which does not prevent it, but also addresses the policies followed the principle does not overheat or negligence. And demonstrate the various experiences that fulfill the taxes in developed societies easier and healthier than living the poverty line.

Preassigned state sultan and sole owner is the one who encouraged and encourage habits of laziness and mercenary free Almtaich of easy money .. Reflect their values ​​on society ..

We believe that people's sense of ownership and resources for the conduct of state and the survival of part of his hand would be a start for the start of an economic essential for the country.

Oil belongs to the people .. Inflation and high prices, some believe were right that the distribution of the oil resources of the people will lead to inflation and rising prices.

First - the money will be pumped is not a real additions to aggregate demand exceeds total supply .. The money was pumped through the pump across the state and the people ..

Then it will depend on the structure of the new spending compared Balkadim .. Turn the new savings and investment, it is Mahmoud .. But the trend is likely to goods and services table index of consumer prices, which rose for the period 2007-2010 increased by almost 7% annually.

The student will find the record that the height of the foundation caused by the high relative weight of the food and the high rates (fuel .. lighting) and (Transportation Transportation ..).

And that the transfer of ownership of oil to the people, shall not affect the ongoing efforts to improve electricity and oil .. Improved and will play a role in the degradation or reduction of consumer prices or increase them. And we will refer briefly to the food later.

Secondly - and inflation is a monetary phenomenon with roots in the movement of supply and demand .. The tools will allow the central bank adjusts the rates of inflation (a phenomenon) over the money supply and the other his tools ..

Was able to reduce unilaterally after the number was 70% in 2005-2006. Remains of food, furniture, clothing and other consumer prices to the schedule, it would be undoubtedly growing pressure .. But the problem here is not mainly price, but increase imports.

This negative factor we have suffered and will suffer from it, if we develop real sectors .. An increase in actual demand is an important factor to move the production, that accompanied him - at least - Saastan essential ..

The first duty is "radical." It will rise, but prices and increasing smuggling of the weakness of the national product .. And "very lenient" Otherwise Ngzona goods cheap and shoddy products and to destroy national investments, as is happening now.

And secondly by encouraging real sectors, especially agriculture, industry, high credit and finance, which you will find the elements of a new oil pump billions of dollars to banks for distribution to citizens

And to ensure that the state purchase prices of domestic products rewarding and sale prices reasonable for consumers ..

And encourage investment and free zones and industrial and other economic policies, calling the movement rather than restrained by legislation, constraints and procedures. Is rent-seeking society will succeed where the rentier state has failed?

The answer is Yes, if raised barriers for starting the community. Rentier state is getting, the more rigid monopoly and the tunnels .. To increase, society is corrupt and disruption. Unlike the society in which different motives and his rights and his rivals .. Contributes to increase the rent - on his own terms - to move the drivers of the real sectors of the economy at the expense of rent-seeking

To set off the community, and proceed with his state's oil belongs to the people .. Power to the people .. Without weakening the state seen by some, that change Maalikis oil from the state of the people would weaken the state to withdraw part of the funds and distribute them directly to citizens. And cite two observations, and there are others.

1-40% of the energy workforce (7.3 million) operating in the state ..

It is difficult to continue this approach, which makes the State a social welfare institution is disabled, and not for the public service and production.

The momentum towards employment is tempting salary and declining employment opportunities in the private sector, but mainly retirement and insurance, in addition to the lymph cancer Kmgriaat laziness and opportunities for corruption and illicit enrichment.

Will not protect the state and Nicoaha unless we achieve for the private sector pension rights, insurance, etc. .. Because these rights are the basis of deductions from income, Valakbh legal and regulatory rather than financial and economic. Complex and long task .. But possible because of incentives and requirements of the moral and material available.

2 - is about oil (70%) of the gross national product, and (95%) of the budget. If the economy got Vsttqoy by the State by all standards .. Vsthma resources distributed people from falling below the poverty line and remove a lot of distortions and employment support policies ..

And levies will increase the size of .. And lift the burden from the state a large .. And will move the actual demand and production factors to build a parallel economy or real .. Provided a practical and prudent policies, fiscal and monetary and macroeconomic and microeconomic and oil.

According to the licensing contracts are expected - Kkdrh - Reaching production (12) million barrels of oil a day, before the end of this decade .. A doubling of Iraq's resources (5) times to talk about what almost without Tertqubh markets to increase prices.

If we accept half of these estimates, the country will enter a huge money within a few years .. This honesty is hard to give people is to act the same. We have people try the State during the many decades under various pretexts Fajzlth ..

And squandered huge amounts of imports in the adventures and wars, planes and tanks and failed projects .. Consumed billions and people waited for a long time .. To go down the drain in moments, and the deteriorating conditions of the people and the country ..

Vmalikih the people of the oil to protect the people and the state at the same time .... The state that swept her lymph cancer will be more able to invest their budgets in the public service and strategic projects .. Vemoazna the state - especially given that the increases have been achieved - will not be weaker than in previous years, but the budget of the people would be much higher than it is today.

Oil belongs to the people .. Install the right and the options open in 2005 did not face the founders of the new system difficult to pass the constitutional article (111) .. Vzkryatem for tyranny and the central state and the royal monopoly broken and everything is still fresh and vivid ..

It was not the concepts of sites and most of them may overlap with the sites and concepts of the state .. Their understanding of the focus was on the priority of the people and their rights and ownership of things and sovereign political, economic and other mechanism, such as oil. So they know our political parliamentary system.

Did not slip or slip of the tongue Maalikis people for oil .. We have discussed the state or other Maalikis .. But what clearly won and smooth, is the text of the constitutional referendum of the people were on it. In front of the three branches of historical responsibility .. It remains the first official Parliament and the foundation ..

As we suggested - in an editorial earlier - can be started as a concept and a legal precept, the distribution of the entire oil resources on the people with the imposition of the "oil tax" from imports to ensure adequate distribution of the budget and the rest on the citizens ..

If Parliament could in consultation with the Government to determine the percentage (70-80%) as a percentage of the tax included in the budget law, he would take a huge success .. Van could not - for one reason or another - it is important to include any rate for this year and next year. The most important break and enter the current equation in the new equation ..

The most important Alaaúdah put into practice, Maliki .. In the interest of the people and provide adequate funds to the state. In all cases, the choice is simple and direct, it is the constitutional right to prove, without closing any other option ..

Such as distribution of specific resources or oil as law, or any other laws related to the subject, or the formation of a national company contribution for all Iraqis, or the Council Construction Fund or generations or other applications and ideas.

Days before the Prime Minister opened the platform for the export capacity of oil - according to statements - to (850) thousand barrels per day .. This great accomplishment would help increase production and exports and the country's resources ..

It is important not to delay more correct to lay the foundations for a new era may be .. And close the doors to bring the historical experience in the waste of huge imports of available and projected .. Oil belongs to the people is the non-oil state-owned.

A country that is begging for people than the State Istagdiha its people .. It sits in parliament and government of the day are the same sat around a table to prepare the Constitution ..

Do they propose a historic step as they did before (7) years? Or different concepts and locations?

****see incentives...saying things like if u have bank acounts then iraq may have money for u to be deposited into your account from the oil profits to be distributed to the people like approx or giving a example of 3000.00 dollars per year could be depostited into there bank acounts yearly and things of this nature is what the people need to read or hear about, money incentives to boost the economy and banking an private sectors...... next 1

*****«Islamophobia» raise zeros

Maytham Laibi

It is interesting to read about something called add zeros to the currency, which is meant as an explanatory resort to what is known to reduce my name of the coin, the opposite of improvement nominal currency or raise zeros, and the latter is what he intends the central bank, with the consent of the government and the legislature, its implementation, in order to After an indefinite period.

Yes, it happened once that was used to add zeros to the currency, in the period was used in which gold and silver as a reserve with central banks, where they were to resort to this trick in order to reduce the demand for these metals due to the face of scarcity of reserves with the CBE, and thus the latter was able to reduce the amount of demand for these metals.

Some may find the argument to say that this procedure is a proof that the lifting of the zeroes means the process will lead to added purchasing power of the Iraqi currency, which is we are not sure of the results yet, as the international experience, which saw lifting operations zeros; which is more than fifty times, where the results were mixed in the process of raising or lowering the survival or the purchasing power of the new currency the same after this reform, and tell the reform, because the whole process usually occurs in the context of a phase of economic reform that is comprehensive culmination of his lifting of the zeroes.

I am not talking here about the justification for raising the zeros from the Iraqi dinar, which were traded in more than one forum, but the point I wanted to note it,

The dimensions of this process may be varied, including economic reform, but the political dimension remains present in such a procedure, where studies indicate that governments are usually cautious when you do it, especially as it is sometimes in the countries of modern democracy and is a transitional stage, both economically or politically,

and then the parties that are in the cabin the government get Bvobaa (phobia) that this procedure a negative results can be used with the opposition parties is harmful to its economic and political.

But the government itself cabin parties, trying on the other hand, the positive investment results of the desired lifting of the zeroes in the event passed this "surgery" on the good, where they are picking fruit and add it to record achievements.

That the "timing" of this procedure, it remains crucial, both in terms of economy or politics, and is usually postponed to moments that are close with the election, and is being implemented in the historic moments ambiguous,

if not yet the end of the session of the government and before the new government came to the cabin the ministry, and so lost blood raise zeros among the tribes.

My advice here, that the government is seeking to repair the relationship with the central and marred by some tension from time to time and the other, and raise the degree of coordination as much as possible, so they can lift out the best picture of the zeros. http://www.babnews.com/inp/view.asp?ID=49961

*** see how important these two editorials are? this 1 is telling them about the lifting of the 000 and the new ld's an coins that will come out how it will give them greater purchasing power, how it will lead to less paper and raise the value of the dinar.... loved these 2 pieces....ok the next 1

******weve all seen the september articles put out in the last few days but imo i doubt very seriously that iraq can go till then without at least rving 1st imo so many things are fighting the cbi monetary policy right now making it difficult on shabs to keep it in check,

inflation is on them, all these imports that they need every day to survive and to rebuild is causeing inflation of all kinds, the delay in the budget, and then when the budget is approved all the rebuilding an spending will cause more inflation,

something imo will have to happen before september as we see so many articles about counterfit currencys the 5,000k an the 10,000k iqd notes that iran is filling the markets with is a biggie for hurrying up an doin something different such as releasing the new coins an ld's so they cant get away with using the counterfit iqd this in itself would solve a lot of things, an i doubt with out a new rate any of this would work out but thats my opinon tho dont bash me for it plz lol.....***
