Issue 59
A whole lotta shakin'
Jerry Lee Lewis‘s rocking number is appropriate for the Christchurch 2010 DSC Conference.
The Conference theme of ‘New Economics’ calls for a ‘seismic shift’ away from failed financial ideology to a modern system. One that would yield a prosperous, secure future.
Stephnie de Ruyter said the solution is simple: “Democrats for social credit policies would revitalize the New Zealand economy whilst reducing debt, creating employment and stimulating domestic industry”.
In this issue Heather Marion Smith draws attention to oneaspect of DSC policy: the Financial Transaction Tax – also known as ‘The Robin Hood Tax’ ‐ pointing out that “we social creditors have been aiming our arrows straight for nearly three decades”.
Colin Whitmill adds another metaphor: “People sinking in a sea of debt may look for a lifeboat which can rescue them. And the DSC would be that lifeboat.”
John Pemberton sums up: “We must be ready to show the way to a better future for New Zealand, for humanity and for the Earth.”
