The Living Wage Association: An Outline
1. The living wage is a right
Neither the minimum wage, maternity benefits and leave,
retirement pay, disability pension nor unemployment benefits may
be less than the living wage.
The living wage must be guaranteed for the full period of an
individual's unemployment.
Those subsisting on the living wage pay no income tax, and
receive free health and retirement insurance.
Those subsisting on the living wage deduct any other income
from the amount of their living wage benefit.
2. A neutral, demilitarized Hungary
- Hungary shall press for a complete disarmament, and the
creation of a demilitarized, neutral zone in Central Europe.
- Hungary shall refer all of its international conflicts to the
united Nations or to the international courts; the United Nations
would guarantee her security.
- Hungary will, in case of need, put health service teams at the
disposal of the United Nations.
- The arms industry in Hungary, and all of it's partner
industries, as well as commerce in arms, shall be terminated.
3. The harmonization of all human activities toward the protection of
nature, of the living environment, and of minorities
- A direct democracy instead of a representative one.
- Greater state support for culture, national educational
institutions, the communications infrastructure, autonomous
communities, and an environment-friendly economy.
- Free education in the state's primary, middle, and higher
educational institutions, with an elimination of entrance exams
and attendance limits.
- Any member of government, representative, or any high-ranking
official of any state or local institution may not be director of
any administrative institution, and must not have a vested
interest in the operations of any large financial enterprise.
- Elimination of any law, regulation, or decree that is damaging
to the freedom or dignity of the individual.
- Free birth, free burial.
