From The Shelf Project

[edit] Welcome to the Shelf Project. To comment and collaborate, please accept our laws

1.  Mission: For the Tax Base.  The mission of this Shelf Project is to develop proposals to strengthen the tax base and follow the money. The assumption is that Congress will need $4 trillion over a decade starting in 2009 or 2010. Nifty ideas within that mission are welcomed. If you participate in this project by editing or commenting, please accept our mission.
          For violations, your edits and comments may thereafter need pre-approval before they are posted or a moderator may suggest that some other forum would fit your comments better.
2. Professional Level. This project will assume a professional and cordial level of discussion often on technical issues. To make or edit suggestions, you should have thought about sound tax systems for some years.
         For violations, you may be asked to provide your identity and credentials, or a moderator may suggest that another forum would fit your comments better.
3. Confidentiality.You may comment or edit with a pseudonym. Indeed the 1787-88 debates on ratification of the Constitution were conducted on the assumption that participants should use pseudonyms, such as “Publius” and “Brutus.” The ideal was that “truth shall prevail though it comes from the cottage” and error shall never be victorious “although supported by dignified names. Speakers were criticized for revealing their name to influence the debates by wealth and family rather than on the mertis.    The shelf project will not voluntarily disclose identities but it may be required to reveal identity by process of law (or a very clever hacker).  Confidentiality will not cover illegal acts nor prohibited conflicts of interest.
4. For yourself alone. When you participate in this wiki, you represent yourself alone and not any institution, employer or client  Speak from a home computer and on your own time when it is important to clarify that you are speaking only in your own name. You vote, pray, and participate in the Shelf Project representing yourself sincerely and alone.
5. Copyright. You should not post copyright protected material without the permission of the holder of the copy right.
6.  Radical Editing. This website is a collaborative effort.  You should expect radical editing and revision from other participants.  If you need author protection will will need to send your contribution to the webmaster.
