HBL-A0062 - Absolute Rights

...be it resolved that:

every being has an absolute natural law right to do anything which is not harmful to another being. this supersedes common law and statute law by definition. if common or statute law do not protect or provide this right they are invalid. likewise, anyone who prevents someone from attempting those acts must be held liable in all courts.

HBL-A0061 - Haven/Bastion Dues and Taxes

...be it resolved that:

Haven/Bastion dues, or taxes per year when appropriate be as follows:

a) no more than 10% of one's personal income subject to rules governing fairness (taxes related to ones income level relative to the average)

b) no less than one cent (or the smallest denomination of ones local currency) per person (sentient being).

Example: with 7 billion people on earth, divided by 10,000 HB members/citizens, the base tax per person would be $700,000 x .01 = $7,000 per person, subject to part (a). the actual amount is based on the smallest local currency and so could be somewhat different from locality to locality until a single HB currency is devised.
