What is the Caring System?
The CARING System is a new and transformative system for democracies designed to provide direct assistance to people in need and guarantees them more resources with less cost, bureaucracy and systemic waste. CARING would replace over 20,000 existing governmental agencies with 5 CARING organizations whose goals are to provide assistance and eventually make the people in need self-sufficient if possible. Each CARING organization would be chartered, audited and regulated, but not managed, by government to address specific needs in the areas of Healthcare, Education, Food and Housing, Drug addiction programs, and Social Security. These organizations would be guaranteed all the resources they need by a new and unique funding mechanism. This would allow us to cut taxes from 40% to 60% and get government bureaucracy, with all its inherent disadvantages, out of the provision of services. CARING is financially responsible, socially responsive and spiritually rejuvenating. It will create a true joy of giving and a dignity of receiving. This will help to stem the financial and cultural polarizations that threatens the very core of our democracy.
