People stopped using gold because of greed and power. They introduced a usurious system in order to collect wealth to a small group of people, resulting in the mess we're in today. Gold, silver, and commodities are the superior solutio

I see what you're saying, but I think there's more to it. Mixing men and women in the workplace has been a recipe for disaster time and time again. I'm not excusing the behavior of men who do engage in those actions, but it&#

Because sex is something that most people are going to engage in at one point or another, it's part of human nature. Killing and murdering isn't acceptable.

No reason that women can't accomplish important things, the problem is that feminism pushed the false narrative that men and women are equal across the board, this is obviously a fallacious and dangerous premise, and now society is pay

The modern economy is debt based by design (i.e. backed by interest and usurious transactions). This by definition creates a separation in the socio economic hierarchy. It's for a reason that usury/interest is banned in Islam, Chr

The superior model that has proven to work is Islam's Zakat. It's sort-of-but-not-really a wealth tax. 0% income tax, 0% gains tax, and only people who hold commodities over a certain threshold are taxed (meaning the poor are exem

It was during the time of Omar Ibn AbdulAziz. I looked up the reference, and it was actually not just income from Zakat, but the entire fund in Iraq was overflowing, so much so that it was not only sufficient for the needy, but it also paid

Look at the route Islam took with Zakat. It's a form of "charity tax" that depends on wealth. However, your scenario does not hold, the government will not force you to sell your company or any shares it in, because those are

Exactly. Islam took a similar route with Zakat (a form of "charity tax" if you will, over 1400 years ago, and it's proven to work. When you look at history, there was a period of time, when everyone paid their share of Zakat,

Except that is a misconception because no one paid anywhere close to that 87% rate back in the day. The rich will always find loopholes and deductions to lower their tax rates.

Islam solved this problem a long time ago. It has a built-in "charity tax" called Zakat whereby a portion of people's wealth (as long as they make more than a minimum threshold) is donated to charity each year. The portion de

The problem is the usurious economic system. Prohibit interest and reduce taxes, and things will improve almost by definition.

What's so ironic about that? One is a parasitic immoral practice that feeds off the poor, the other is a new technology that breaks the dependency on government fueled interest and inflation. I don't see where the scam part is.

The less taxes the better. Islam has solved this problem over 1400 years ago, no income taxes, no land tax, no property tax, etc. If more societies applied something similar to Islam's Zakat, we'd be much better off.
