“Larry Elford worked inside Canadian investment dealers for two decades. He saw how high status persons and corporate entities were not subject to the same application of rules or laws as others. Higher status entities were able to “police themselves” or retain their own regulators to “police” their business activities. He learned how status plus this ability to “self regulate”, allowed the growth of corrupt practices, without having to worry that a policeman would come to the office door. Self-regulation also granted the privilege of being able to quietly purchase “exemption” from laws, to further enable corrupt practices without public knowledge or consequences. Not willing to be an accomplice to harming the public, he spoke out as instructed by codes of conduct and ethics. Those calls for ethics were not welcomed and he felt forced to leave the industry. He released a documentary film in 2009, titled “Breach of Trust, the Unique Violence of White Collar Crime”, after becoming aware of the suicide of an investment industry whistleblower. This person was bullied to his death by industry lawyers and those who used the courts as a mechanism to “hush” persons who spoke about abusive practices. He gradually learned more about unwritten “codes of silence”, which usually received priority over written codes of ethics. The truth teller is most often drummed out of the business, rather than being thanked for the honesty and protection of the firm’s reputation. The “Unique Violence” he learned about white collar crime is that there is little”

“I wish there were a basic “guaranteed minimum income” to support the most vulnerable members of a society. If we were”

“A basic income guarantee would provide each citizen with a sum of money. Except for citizenship, a basic income is entirely unconditional. A basic income guarantee would simplify or end the welfare state, might balance out the “maximum guaranteed income” that corporations and Fed Bankers have received for 100 years, and truly ensure that no one has to live in poverty. Its necessity may become increasingly obvious as more human labor is replaced by machines. Imagine it like putting “water-wings” upon children before letting them into the swimming pool. Some members of society are too vulnerable to be left unprotected in an unsafe environment.”
