Cost-efficient houses have to built  that will also provide
            more economical heating. The current technology allows

            reduction of maintenance costs for our homes. For
            example, solar panels could replace walls and enable

            even temperature throughout the year. Car maintenance

            costs (gas, oil, antifreeze, etc.) will be reduced and the
            environment will be less polluted once electric and solar-

            powered cars are used. Utility bills are a major problem for
            people who have no money to pay them. Therefore they

            should be free. Water, a gift of nature, is turned into a
            business. Who does the mountain spring belong to? Is it

            not a gift of nature to all of us? However, in that case the

            question arises who is going to maintain the water supply
            systems?


            In Canada, healthcare is free and it is financed directly
            from the sales tax. This example should be followed

            because social welfare is for the benefit of all the citizens
            and should be financed from the sales tax.


            Property tax? What is it? Taxing, fines, racketeering,
            WHAT? Property tax should supposedly mean I have a

            bigger house than the other and I am paying $5.000 and
            he is paying $1.000. Why is that?
