"forth the vision and ethical foundation for a new form of democracy, which I call Earth Rights Democracy. In such a democracy, the contract between people and their government contains three primary components:
1. The equal right to land and natural resources is a fundamental human right.
2. The earth and all her life forms have a right to biological and ecological integrity and well-being.
3. Taxation and other economic, social and political principles and policies should be based on these rights
.
Earth Rights Democracy establishes political democracy on the firm foundation of human rights to the planet as a birthright and is a key to securing other economic human rights. Earth Rights Democracy is an essential ethical framework for creating a world of peace and plenty for all."
Since everyone owns the earth, people are calling for earth-ownership income to be distributed to every person on earth.
This is a great ideal situation.
We can do it in stages. First, recognize citizen-ownership democracy. Let every country's citizens get their rightful citizen-ownership income. Later, someone can do some balancing among countries.
