Seceding Arizona from the United States of America

I had this idea yesterday that Arizona should secede from the US effective immediately. (This also works for all states, but AZ is well positioned.)

I realize this is a staggering idea to some, but please think for a moment.

Pros: every person would receive an instant 35-45% pay raise. (income taxes, social security/medicare including the employer paid portion).
Cons: we wouldn't receive highway funding

All that would be required is convincing 90 legislators to do a temporary seccession for 1 year. Within days, people would see the dramatic increase in their paychecks and the legislators would be lauded as heroes; guaranteeing their re-election.

Now, this does leave out the service industry and those who work for tips. Since business owners would be receiving at least that amount as a pay raise too (not paying income taxes, etc.), this would instantly free up capital to allow for generous pay raises for employees who rely on tips. I also recommend posting signs prominently saying something like, "We care about our employees and pay them well. Please do not tip." Signed, the managers name. Brings a whole new meaning to complimenting the employees and taking suggestions.

Business & military security

Hidden Desktop would work as military encryption as well as secure communications between corporations. HD allows the creation of tiered security with full visibility into the back doors. For example, a boss might hold the keys to the employee's computer and data, but the boss could not access it without going through a formal and fully visible process. That process could be as elaborate as submarine nuclear launch instructions. This implicity communicates trust to the employee and transforms the boss/employee relationship. Imagine the change in management at corporations with the boss not being a policeman on their employees and rather looking at their work product. It also protects intellectual property of the employees and helps prevent others from taking credit for ideas that originated elsewhere. This could get into huge consulting gigs for MBAs. The technical difficulties with the above are trivial. A couple of good programmers and network people (I have some people in mind) and we would have a corporate transformative management system. Plus the military application of the above. I'd like to sell it to all governments and corporations (as well as individuals).

(I originated the idea, designed and developed the product, and am beginning to market it. I also want to put it on cameras and cell phones.)

Global solution for money

EDIT  11/4/2013:  The original formula was:

(Trust + Performance) * Communication = Accountability

That applied to monetary science.  At some point, Trust became an assumption that led to the following formula as a formula for human potential and behavior and "self-help".  Unfortunately, some like to test things to failure and tested the above formula.  IE.  broke trust, faked performance, and broke communication.  That led to horrifying results.  Satanic.  Some have said the above was used to prove that we live in an organism called God.


Communication * Performance
_______________________ = Trust
Time

The above equation includes the idea of the individual and conscious choice as well as time's linearity. It describes the interaction of two or more individuals. In reference to money, the equation can be stated as: "Communication of performance over time is trust". Although trust is not the only solution to the equation. The success or recognition of the individual is defined by the communication of their performance over time.

Edited 4/24/2010:
The original idea was hashed out on an external website, but the entire website was deleted. Here is a copy of the thread when I worked on the problem:
Ripple; decentralized credit Page 1
Ripple; decentralized credit Page 2

There were 5 pages, but the last 3 were deleted on the original site before I had a chance to back up the threads.
