You Are the Owner of Your Country
Every person pays taxes.
But why don’t you see where your money goes?
Why can’t a citizen, who works, creates, and fills the budget, control how that money is spent?
The state, in its true essence, is not power — it is a tool of the people.
It is a joint-stock company, where every citizen is a shareholder, and the government is hired management, obliged to act in the interests of its owners — the citizens.
Today, things are reversed. The citizen is excluded from managing their own country.
They don’t know what taxes they pay, where those taxes go, how much money enters the budget, or who receives it.
People confuse the word “state” with “power.” But power is not ownership — it is temporary management, bound by the responsibility to serve society.
As long as the people cannot control the budget, corruption will be eternal. As long as citizens cannot see the numbers, they can be deceived. As long as people don’t feel like co-owners, they can be bought with promises.
It’s time to understand:
You are not just a citizen —
you are the owner of your country.
You hire the leadership — the president, government, parliament, and mayors — and they must work in your interests, not their own. You have the right to oversee their work and demand accountability for every dollar of tax spent.
The solution — transparency and digital control. Every citizen should have a personal state budget account, where they can see in real time:
- how much money enters the budget,
- how it’s spent,
- how much goes to education, healthcare, defense, infrastructure.
The state is your shared business. If you’re a shareholder, you have the right to know where your money goes.
In the central bank, there should be budget accounts for all citizens. These are not accounts for transactions — they’re for transparency. Every person can see how much funding reaches their region, school, or hospital.
It’s simple — the budget is just numbers, and numbers can be made visible to everyone.
The goal is to restore trust between the state and its people. When everyone sees where their money goes, the foundation of corruption and manipulation disappears.
People realize — this is their country, their budget, their future.
When a person knows they are a co-owner — they act like an owner. They protect, develop, and control. But when people are told for years that “the state is someone else,” they lose responsibility and faith.
When control returns — the nation awakens.
In a transparent world, stealing billions becomes impossible. Every official knows their actions are visible. Every citizen feels part of their country.
That’s how a new social system is built — where there is no “them” and “us,” but one nation — owned by its people.
You are the owner of your country.
You pay taxes.
You hire the government.
And you have the right to know where your money goes.
When every citizen realizes this — true democracy begins, where the people don’t beg — they govern.
Universal Basic Income and the State as a Joint-Stock Company
Introduction
One of the main problems of any country is low-paid labor.
A low-paid worker is vulnerable in every way and socially passive.
They are easy to manipulate — they can be deceived, bought, redirected, or made to adopt foreign values.
Low wages trigger a chain reaction: low income leads to low pensions;
low pensions lead to a low quality of life; a low quality of life leads to poverty and a loss of self-worth.
Low-paid labor means low purchasing power. Low purchasing power leads to low budget revenues. And a weak budget means a constant shortage of funds for healthcare, education, defense, and social protection.
A low-paid worker benefits only a small group of oligarchs who loudly proclaim that they are “creating jobs,” while paying starvation wages.
A poor person is not a resource — they are a problem for society. Poor people create a society with low self-sufficiency. Everyone would agree that it is far more pleasant to live among prosperous neighbors, friends, and relatives.
Western countries, where people earn decent wages, receive fair pensions, enjoy social protection, and live under predictable rules, demonstrate higher levels of happiness, confidence, and civic responsibility. Their citizens cannot be bought during elections — even if they make mistakes, those are their own, not imposed choices.
The success of a country directly depends on the income of its citizens. There is not a single wealthy country with a poor population — and not a single poor country with a wealthy population. Therefore, increasing citizens’ income is a strategic goal and the key to national prosperity.
A society with low self-sufficiency is easy to deceive. We see it everywhere: first, the people are robbed of billions, and then the same thieves portray themselves as philanthropists, handing out crumbs — and still receive applause.
Healthcare, education, defense, and social systems will remain weak until the country has a strong budget. But a strong budget will never exist while the population remains poor. This is a vicious circle that must be broken.
The Idea of Universal Basic Income
In the modern world, the concept of Universal Basic Income (UBI) is being discussed more and more frequently. Chris Hughes, in his book, writes that UBI must be introduced today, because inequality keeps growing and the gap between the rich and the poor is turning into an abyss.
Every person needs a minimal financial safety cushion — not as a replacement for work, but as a foundation for confidence and dignity.
The modern economy is structured in such a way that the rich become richer at the expense of ordinary citizens. The middle class and socially vulnerable groups carry most of the burden while receiving little in return.
But a new generation of entrepreneurs and investors is beginning to think differently. They strive for a world where prosperity is shared fairly, and where the system maintains a balance between labor, capital, and social responsibility.
Global Experience and Adaptation
In Finland, the principle of Universal Basic Income has already been tested and has proven that such a system increases social stability and trust in government.
However, Finland is a country with a budget surplus. For countries with budget deficits — especially post-Soviet nations — this model must be adapted.
Therefore, an adapted model of Universal Basic Income has been developed,
specifically designed for countries where wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few, while the majority of the population lives on the edge of poverty.
This is not a political concept — it is an economic model, one that creates conditions under which no one in the country will die of hunger.
The Principle
A simple formula:
From each — a fair percentage, to all — an equal share.
This idea is not new: it is reflected in the Torah, the Bible, and the Quran in the words, “Give one-tenth.”
Structure
Universal Basic Income consists of two parts:
- Collection of funds
- Distribution of funds
Distribution of funds
All collected funds are automatically distributed online among all citizens of the country. The balance of the special state account is always zero: as soon as money is received, it is immediately distributed equally.
Collection of funds
Sources of formation:
- Retail trade in food and everyday goods.
- First sale of movable and immovable property.
- Additional property tax.
- Natural resources — national wealth belonging to all citizens.
- Transit revenues and duties.
- Annual contributions from the profits of state-owned enterprises.
- Confiscated assets — if property or money is seized from criminals, it is fair that 50% goes to the state budget and 50% is distributed equally among citizens.
- Privatization — assets being privatized belong to the entire nation; therefore, 50% of the proceeds go to the budget, and 50% to the population.
- Civic property tax — an additional fair mechanism: even if property was acquired illegally, its owner must pay a tax, and the proceeds are evenly distributed among all citizens.
Thus, even corrupt or unjustly acquired assets begin to work for society, not against it.
Example
Even under current economic conditions, in any country, every citizen could receive a guaranteed minimum. This amount would become the foundation of a financial safety cushion, ensuring stability and confidence in the future.
Technical Solution
To implement the system, every citizen must have a personal account in the National Bank or a dedicated state payment system.
The account number matches the citizen’s personal tax code. Funds exist in electronic form and are accessible through a national ID card with a chip. This does not require large expenditures — all the necessary infrastructure already exists.
Economic Effect
Redistribution of funds will:
- increase purchasing power,
- boost production,
- create new jobs.
More than 50% of the shadow economy will become transparent. People’s self-esteem and confidence will rise, which will lead to higher wages and a stronger, more sustainable economy.
The State as a Joint-Stock Company
The state is a joint-stock company where all citizens are shareholders, and the government is the hired management.
Every citizen has the right to see how the national budget is spent. To achieve this, the National Bank should open personal budget accounts for every citizen, showing their share in the budget and state assets.
Each person will be able to see:
- the amount of funds received,
- where they were spent,
- and their share of the national debt.
Transparency
Such a system makes large-scale corruption almost impossible. Officials continue to perform their functions, but society gains control over public finances.
The budget is just numbers — and these numbers must be open to everyone. Each citizen sees their share, evaluates the effectiveness of management, and realizes themselves as a co-owner of the country.
Conclusion
This model is not a political slogan, but an economic and social transformation capable of breaking the vicious circle of poverty.
It creates conditions where:
- the rich help the poor,
- honest work is rewarded,
- and every citizen becomes a co-owner of their country.
