2021.02.27 1272 Huh Kyung-young’s national dividend System Will Unify the World: The Three Principles of Governance, Environment, and sociality
The Divine Economy: Unifying the World Through National Dividend
What is the core of Hur Kyung-young’s ‘National Dividend’ policy? It aims to transform Korea into a “middle-class society“ where all citizens receive dividends as shareholders of “Korea Inc.”
- The National Dividend Policy
Hur Kyung-young’s National Dividend policy aims to transform South Korea into a middle-class society by directly distributing dividends to citizens, treating them as shareholders of “Korea Inc.”
1.1. Problems with Current Government Spending
- Local government leaders lobby for more budget, and officials are pressured to spend all allocated funds by year-end, leading to wasteful spending.
- Public funds are often wasted in unnecessary areas, instead of directly benefiting citizens.
1.2. Hur Kyung-young’s National Dividend Solution
- Hur Kyung-young’s National Dividend policy proposes directly distributing funds to citizens.
- This policy views South Korea as a corporation and its citizens as shareholders, ensuring direct benefits for the people.
- Hur Kyung-young is presented as a great politician deserving of public support for this policy.
- The National Dividend policy is described as the first in human history to create a “paradise on Earth” in South Korea.
1.3. Three Key Features of the National Dividend
- The National Dividend policy has three main features, with the third feature being the governance structure.
- The first feature is environment (인바이먼트).
- The second feature is sociality (소셜리티).
1.4. Comparison with Other Economic Systems
-
The National Dividend is different from basic income, which is a communist policy where the state provides just enough for people to live.
-
Communism involves joint production and joint distribution.
-
The current system in South Korea is a democracy with a capitalist economy.
-
Hur Kyung-young proposes a system with a theocratic political system and a middle-class economy.
-
In this system, the minimum standard of living is the middle class, meaning there are no poor people.
-
This is called a middle society or Hurconomy (허코노미).
-
This vision of a middle society is a gift to the people, as the future society will have fewer jobs due to 4th Industrial Revolution advancements like cyber humans and robots.
-
This system aims to ensure everyone can live comfortably without resorting to communism, which lacks competitiveness.
-
The Hurconomy combines a theocratic political system with a middle-class economy.
-
This system aims to unify the world.
-
The goal is for the minimum standard of living to be the middle class, while allowing for the existence of the wealthy.
-
Critiques of Current Government and Policy
The current government is criticized for wasteful spending, a flawed budget system, and policies that prioritize the wealthy, leading to public dissatisfaction and a lack of accountability.
2.1. Example of Public Inconvenience and Wasteful Spending
- A story illustrates the inconvenience of a broken water pipe, where a person had to travel 1 km to a subway station for a restroom, highlighting how basic necessities are often taken for granted.
- having running water and a toilet should be appreciated, as many people globally lack these basic amenities.
- South Korea is described as a country with excellent infrastructure, such as subways, buses, and clean public restrooms, which is rare globally.
- This contrasts with past experiences, like dangerous and unsanitary traditional temple toilets.
- Despite these conveniences, many people are burdened by debt rather than a lack of food.
2.2. Flawed Budget Allocation and Corruption
- The National Dividend policy aims to provide a stable income (e.g., 4.5 to 8 million won for a family) to ensure everyone can live as middle-class citizens, addressing the current issue of poor wealth distribution.
- Without this system, many young people struggle to find jobs or get married, while a few individuals accumulate immense wealth, like the developer of “Baedal Minjok” who sold it for trillions of won.
- He claims his own app would be worth 100 trillion won if sold.
- The current governance structure of “Korea Inc.” is criticized because citizens, despite being “shareholders,” have never received dividends, indicating widespread corruption.
- The government’s annual budget of 550 trillion won disappears into a “black hole,” with funds being distributed among officials and politicians rather than benefiting the public.
- This money should be returned to the citizens.
2.3. Economic Principles and Mismanagement
- An analogy of a department store in Ulleungdo illustrates how money leaves the local economy when profits are sent to a headquarters in Seoul, leading to local economic decline.
- A healthy economy requires money to circulate locally.
- If local businesses send all their profits elsewhere, the local economy will collapse.
- The current system is like a “black hole” where 550 trillion won in taxes disappears annually, with no clear accountability for how it’s spent (e.g., on weapons or overseas resource development).
2.4. Perverse Incentives in Government Spending
-
Government officials are punished (demoted) if they have leftover budget, but promoted if they report needing more funds.
-
This encourages wasteful spending rather than saving public money.
-
Politicians and local government heads engage in “budget-grabbing” games, prioritizing securing more funds for their regions rather than saving.
-
There are no instances of officials being praised for saving budget; instead, they are demoted.
-
He aims to fix this structural problem, not to criticize individual politicians, emphasizing that citizens need to be aware and demand change.
-
He promises to reward officials who save money and implement a tax point system for those who reduce tax waste.
-
The National Dividend and Global Governance
The National Dividend policy is presented as a revolutionary system that addresses environmental, social, and governance issues, making South Korea a global leader and improving the quality of life for its citizens.
3.1. South Korea’s Flawed Governance Structure
- The current governance structure of South Korea is seen by the world as one where 50 million “shareholders” (citizens) have never received dividends, making it a “disgraceful” system.
- This problem is global, that future global leadership will depend on environment, sociality, and governance structure.
3.2. Environmental Benefits of the National Dividend
- The example of Tesla and Elon Musk is used to highlight the importance of environmental sustainability.
- Elon Musk prioritized creating electric cars for the environment, even facing financial difficulties and opposition from oil companies.
- Environmental impact is now a key factor in evaluating businesses and government policies.
- The National Dividend policy improves the human environment by enabling people to marry and live comfortably even without jobs, as they receive 3 million won, making them middle class.
- This policy scores 100 points for its positive environmental impact on human lives.
3.3. Social and Governance Benefits of the National Dividend
-
The National Dividend policy also scores high on sociality because it creates a middle society where everyone can enjoy a middle-class lifestyle, fostering social well-being.
-
The governance structure (거버넌스) under this policy involves direct citizen participation, as 50 million people receiving 1.5 million won each means they are directly governing.
-
This system would make South Korea a global model, with other countries adopting the National Dividend system.
-
This system would eliminate debt, and while the number of workers might decrease in the future, their productivity and value will increase due to the 4th Industrial Revolution.
-
This future society will have more unemployed people and fewer opportunities for young people, making a stable social structure crucial.
-
he is here to fix these deep-rooted problems.
-
The current governance structure, dominated by bureaucrats, needs to be changed to empower citizens by giving them actual money, not just empty promises.
-
Without such a system, the world faces immense economic and environmental crises, and people are living in a “prison-like” state.
-
Distinguishing National Dividend from Basic Income
The National Dividend differs significantly from basic income by promoting competition and individual growth while ensuring a minimum middle-class standard of living, unlike basic income which is likened to a prison system that stifles ambition and leads to national bankruptcy.
4.1. Basic Income as a “Prison System”
- He compares basic income to a prison system, where everyone receives the same basic provisions, stifling individual ambition and competition.
- In contrast, the National Dividend ensures a minimum middle-class standard of living while allowing for unlimited maximum potential, enabling individuals to become wealthy.
- Basic income offers no such flexibility, providing a uniform standard for everyone, similar to prison inmates.
4.2. Financial Unsustainability of Basic Income
- Politicians advocating for basic income propose adding it on top of the existing 200 trillion won welfare budget, which would bankrupt the country.
- This approach lacks a proper financial mechanism, unlike the National Dividend which includes specific allowances for dating, marriage, and childbirth.
- Simply adding basic income to existing welfare programs without budget cuts is unsustainable and will lead to national ruin.
4.3. The National Dividend’s Approach to Budget Reform
-
The National Dividend policy proposes a drastic 70% reduction in the national budget.
-
Unlike other politicians who maintain existing expenses (e.g., 1.8 trillion won for National Assembly members, 1.7 trillion won for local governments) and then add basic income, Mr. Huh advocates for significant cuts.
-
He proposes that National Assembly members serve without pay, encouraging those with existing pensions (like retired teachers or civil servants) to serve out of public duty.
-
This would reduce the number of National Assembly members to 100.
-
Such reforms are necessary to free up funds for the National Dividend.
-
The current approach of adding basic income without budget cuts is a “tax-centric” policy that will destroy the nation.
-
He’s policy is the opposite, focusing on a 70% budget reduction.
-
Critiques of Political Funding and Systemic Corruption
The current political system is criticized for allowing politicians to receive large donations and salaries, leading to laws that favor the wealthy and perpetuate inequality, rather than serving the public interest.
5.1. Problems with Political Donations and Salaries
- National Assembly members receive large political donations (e.g., hundreds of millions of won annually), in addition to their salaries.
- This forces them to spend time soliciting funds from corporations, creating a conflict of interest.
- presidents do not receive donations, only salaries, and that National Assembly members should also only receive salaries, or even serve without pay.
- He believes many people would be willing to serve the nation without pay.
5.2. Impact of Donations on Legislation and Inequality
- When National Assembly members receive donations from corporations, their legislative decisions are influenced, leading to laws that favor wealthy donors over ordinary citizens.
- This system, created by National Assembly members themselves, perpetuates the gap between the rich and the poor.
- the country exists to serve 50 million citizens, not just 300 National Assembly members.
- While he respects individual politicians, he believes the system itself (salaries, donations, benefits) corrupts them.
- This leads to politicians prioritizing wealthy donors at night and pretending to serve the public during the day, which needs to be reformed.
5.3. Call for Systemic Reform and Accountability
-
He urges for change, noting that political power shifts between parties but the fundamental problems remain.
-
He calls for the abolition of National Assembly members’ donations and salaries, and for local government heads who cannot support themselves without public funds to resign.
-
The current system allows National Assembly members to receive two forms of income (salary and donations), unlike local government heads or the president.
-
He criticizes the creation of the donation system by National Assembly members over 70 years of constitutional history.
-
He highlights massive waste in national budget, such as 50 trillion won for defense, 45 trillion won to increase birth rates, and 35 trillion won for gender equality, which would shock developed countries.
-
150 million won could be given to each person for childbirth, with money still left over, but instead, trivial amounts are given for milk or school meals.
-
He, with his superior intellect, claims to see the extent of public suffering due to these policies.
-
He advocates for politicians who serve the nation using their own resources, without receiving salaries or donations from corporations, which he views as potentially coercive.
-
He stresses that the National Assembly should be the cleanest institution.
-
The National Dividend’s Comprehensive Benefits and Principles
The National Dividend policy is a comprehensive system that ensures human dignity, happiness, and absolute fairness, while upholding the core principles of democracy and capitalism, and empowering citizens to actively monitor government spending.
6.1. Human Dignity, Happiness, and Absolute Fairness
- The National Dividend policy, unlike the basic income “prison system,” allows for competition while guaranteeing a minimum middle-class lifestyle.
- Citizens can use their dividends to start businesses, knowing they have a safety net.
- This policy will completely restructure the welfare system, redirecting the 200 trillion won welfare budget into the National Dividend.
- Only specific areas like disability welfare would receive additional support.
- Other programs for the poor would be eliminated as the 1.5 million won dividend would make them unnecessary.
- Receiving the dividend would not prevent people from working.
6.2. Financial Sustainability and Revenue Generation
- The National Dividend system generates additional revenue through:
- Asset-proportional fines (100 trillion won).
- Tax consolidation (100 trillion won).
- Increased taxes from 5 million special business operators (100 trillion won).
- Prevention of high-income tax evasion (100 trillion won annually).
- This generates an additional 400 trillion won, ensuring the system’s financial viability, unlike other proposals that would exceed the national budget.
- He’s plan also includes 400 trillion won in budget savings, making it 100% original.
- Existing welfare budgets would be unnecessary, and funds would be allocated for special treatment of national heroes (e.g., Vietnam War veterans) and increased support for the disabled.
- The dividend would replace various poverty assistance programs, without penalizing those with tax records.
- He criticizes the current system that punishes the poor for working, calling it “insane.”
6.3. The “Tano” Principle for Politicians
- He references Tano (탄허) Monk, whose name means “drinking emptiness,” to emphasize that politicians should live frugally and not exploit public funds.
- Politicians should be 청백리 (cheongbaengni), meaning “clean and honest officials.”
- the more frugal and honest politicians are, the more prosperous the citizens will be.
- Conversely, if politicians receive high salaries and donations, the public suffers.
- Politicians often collude across party lines to increase their own salaries while making citizens suffer.
6.4. Foundational Principles of a Stable Nation
- A stable nation, like a building, requires three principles: horizontal (수평), vertical (수직), and space (공간).
- Current government policies are “tilted” towards the wealthy, making the nation unstable and prone to collapse.
- The nation needs to be built on a perfectly horizontal foundation.
- This horizontal principle aligns with the three fundamental rights of citizens guaranteed by the constitution: right to existence (생존권), right to ownership (소유권), and right to equality (평등권).
6.5. Empowering Citizens with Rights and Ownership
- He proposes giving every citizen, regardless of age, 1.4 billion won in national bonds (stocks), representing their ownership share of South Korea’s 70 quadrillion won in assets.
- These bonds cannot be sold but ensure equality and ownership for all.
- This also guarantees the right to existence.
- The right to claim (청구권), another of the five constitutional rights, allows citizens to claim their National Dividend when in need.
- Currently, the government only demands taxes from citizens, who only have the right to pay taxes (납세권), not the right to claim.
6.6. Expanding Political Participation and Education
- The right to participate in government (참정권) should be expanded by lowering the voting age to 15, as young people are digitally literate and capable of making informed decisions about their education and future.
- Students who vote would receive bonus points on their college entrance exams, encouraging participation.
- This would provide practical democracy education for young people.
- Voters would also receive 50,000 won on election day to compensate for lost work time, encouraging family participation and boosting local economies.
- Lowering the voting age would empower students to demand reforms in the education system, such as reducing the number of subjects for college entrance exams or increasing physical activity.
- This would give students a voice in shaping their own education.
6.7. Social Rights, Freedom, and the National Dividend
- The right to social welfare (사회권) and right to freedom (자유권) are also linked to the National Dividend.
- Social rights include the freedom to form organizations, start businesses, and engage in commerce.
- Freedom rights encompass the eight constitutional freedoms: speech, assembly, association, religion, thought, expression, conscience, and the press.
- The National Dividend fully realizes all five constitutional rights (claim, equality, participation, social welfare, and freedom) and the three fundamental rights (existence, ownership, and equality).
6.8. The Three Principles of a Nation and Democracy
- A stable nation requires a horizontal foundation (representing the people), a vertical structure (representing sovereignty), and space (representing territory).
- This aligns with the three principles of a nation: territory, sovereignty, and people.
- This also corresponds to 1D, 2D, and 3D space.
- The National Dividend realizes the three principles of democracy: human dignity, pursuit of happiness, and absolute fairness.
- With 3 million won per family, people would be truly happy with basic amenities.
- He notes that people often only appreciate good times after they are gone, like during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The current system fails to achieve human dignity, happiness, and absolute fairness.
6.9. Upholding Capitalist Principles
-
The National Dividend also upholds the three principles of capitalism: absolute right to ownership, freedom of contract, and principle of responsibility for negligence.
-
The absolute right to ownership is currently violated by excessive taxes (property tax, acquisition tax, capital gains tax, income tax), making ownership feel like renting.
-
The National Dividend ensures that national ownership truly belongs to the people.
-
The principle of responsibility for negligence means that citizens are responsible if they fail to monitor government spending, leading to wasted funds and reduced dividends.
-
Citizens should actively protest wasteful projects and by-elections to increase their dividends.
-
If citizens remain silent, they bear the responsibility for the wasted budget.
-
The freedom of contract principle allows citizens to monitor and question government contracts.
-
the National Dividend policy is meticulously designed, incorporating various global principles.
-
The “No-Platform” and “Super-Connected” Future
He introduces his unique “No-Platform” concept, which enables instant, direct energy connections to all electronic devices globally, demonstrating a “super-connected,” “super-intelligent,” and “super-scientific” future that will revolutionize industries and empower citizens.
7.1. The “No-Platform” Concept
- The three principles of horizontal, vertical, and space also align with the concept of No-Platform, No-Time, and No-Space.
- He claims to operate without a platform, directly connecting with people and providing energy.
- his intelligence is necessary for the 4th Industrial Revolution and that his “No-Platform” is unique.
- Unlike conventional systems that rely on platforms like Kakao, SK, or KT, his system connects directly.
7.2. Demonstration of “No-Platform” Energy Transfer
- He demonstrates his ability to instantly transfer energy to and from all LG mobile phones worldwide, regardless of their model year, without any platform.
- This energy transfer is instantaneous, taking “zero seconds.”
- He extends this demonstration to all LG electronic products globally (refrigerators, TVs, etc.), showing he can instantly add or remove energy.
- When energy is added, harmful electromagnetic waves disappear, and beneficial energy is emitted, making the home a “paradise.”
- For example, food in a refrigerator with his energy would not spoil even if the power is cut.
- He provides an example of milk with his photo attached, which does not spoil for years, instead separating into cheese and water.
- He repeatedly demonstrates the instantaneous energy transfer to and from LG electronic products, emphasizing its global reach and speed.
7.3. “Super-Connected,” “Super-Intelligent,” and “Super-Scientific” Future
-
This “No-Platform” ability is described as super-connected (초연결), super-intelligent (초지능), and super-scientific (초과학).
-
His IQ is infinitely higher than human IQ.
-
This phenomenon cannot be explained by science.
-
He proposes to offer this energy transfer service to companies like Samsung for a fee (e.g., 200 billion won), allowing them to brand their products with his “H mark” (Hur mark).
-
Products with the “H mark” would sell exceptionally well because they would be perceived as superior, saving electricity and preventing food spoilage even during power outages.
-
This would make South Korean companies globally competitive and the nation the wealthiest in the world.
-
He criticizes major electronics companies for not seeking his help to boost their sales.
-
Products with his mark would also provide health benefits.
-
This “No-Platform” ability also extends to spiritual connections, allowing him to directly connect people to “White Heaven” (heaven) without intermediaries, making him a super-religious (초종교) figure who can solve problems that religions cannot.
-
Principles of Self-Reflection and Non-Judgment
He emphasizes the importance of constant self-reflection and avoiding judgment of others, drawing on philosophical concepts and historical anecdotes to illustrate the path to wisdom and effective leadership.
8.1. The Importance of Self-Reflection
- He, as the Creator, has always adhered to two principles: “Sanggyeon” (상견 – always see) and “Bulgyeon” (불견 – do not see).
- He has never consumed alcohol, tobacco, coffee, soda, cola, or bread.
- “Sanggyeon Jasim Gwago” (상견자심과오 – always see one’s own faults and mistakes) means constantly examining one’s own flaws and temptations.
- This involves recognizing one’s weaknesses and avoiding temptations, such as craving unhealthy food when tired.
- It also means being aware of potential misjudgments that can lead to irreversible financial ruin, like reckless stock investments.
- One should not desire to profit at the expense of others.
8.2. Avoiding Judgment of Others
- “Bulgyeon Tain Sibi” (불견타인시비 – do not see others’ rights and wrongs) means never judging or criticizing others’ flaws or shortcomings.
- He dismisses accusations of being a fraud, stating that a person with a criminal record cannot run for president three times.
- He does not care about others’ criticisms, as he knows he is not a fraud.
- He views criticism as an opportunity for self-improvement, listening to feedback and considering what needs to be changed without engaging in conflict.
- He considers his critics as “brothers” and asks them to continue providing feedback.
- He has never fought with anyone in his life.
- the Creator, despite facing hardships and false accusations, always distinguishes between what to see and what not to see.
8.3. The Parable of King Taejo and Monk Muhak
- The story of King Taejo (Yi Seong-gye) and Monk Muhak illustrates this principle:
- King Taejo asked Muhak how he looked, and Muhak replied, “Like a Buddha.”
- When Muhak asked Taejo the same question, Taejo said Muhak looked like a pig.
- Muhak then famously responded, “A pig sees only pigs, and a Buddha sees only Buddhas.”
- He uses this to explain that he is not criticizing individual National Assembly members, but rather the flawed system (like the donation system) that corrupts them.
Huh Kyung-young’s National Dividend Unifies the World!
- The National Dividend: A Paradigm Shift in Governance and Economy
The current reality reveals a systemic flaw: local government leaders engage in extensive lobbying to secure even a single won more in budget allocations, while their subordinate public officials face reprimand if they fail to exhaust their allocated funds by year-end. This results in the incessant squandering of the populace’s precious resources on unnecessary expenditures, akin to water leaking from old pipes, rather than directly benefiting the citizens themselves. In response, I, Huh Kyung-young of the National Revolutionary Party, propose the direct distribution of a National Dividend to the people. This initiative conceptualizes the Republic of Korea as a joint-stock company, with its citizens as shareholders, ensuring direct benefits to them. I am a statesman deserving of absolute support and veneration for pioneering the first-ever policy of a National Dividend, destined to transform the Republic of Korea into an earthly paradise.
The National Dividend possesses three distinct characteristics. The third characteristic pertains to the structure of governance. The first characteristic is Environment, encompassing the ecological and societal surroundings. The second is Sociality, referring to the social fabric and interactions. The third, as previously mentioned, is the Governance Structure.
The concept of a National Dividend is fundamentally distinct from what some politicians, mimicking my ideas, refer to as Basic Income. Basic Income is a policy rooted in communist ideology, where the state provides a basic allowance for sustenance, ensuring a fundamental level of distribution. Communism, characterized by “common production and common distribution,” guarantees a basic income. In contrast, our society operates under a competitive, capitalist economic system within a democratic framework. My proposed system, however, transcends these existing models. It is a Theocratic political system coupled with a Middlism economy. This means that every citizen will achieve middle-class status as a minimum standard of living, effectively eradicating poverty. This Middlism society, or “Huh-conomy,” will be a global standard, a vision I have declared to the world and for which I have come into this existence. This is a gift I intend to bestow upon you.
The future society, driven by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, will see a reduction in traditional employment opportunities. Unlike agrarian or industrial societies, advanced technology will require fewer human laborers, leading to a proliferation of cyber-humans and robots. While this reduces job availability, it necessitates a system where everyone can sustain themselves. We do not desire communism, which stifles competition and individual potential. My system, the Theocratic Huh-conomy and Middlism Society, fosters both competitiveness and individual development, ensuring human dignity. This economic theory, which I call “Huh-conomics,” will unify the world.
In this Middlism society, the minimum standard of living is the middle class. While there will still be the wealthy, even billionaires with private jets, the lowest stratum of society will be the middle class. This eliminates the indignity of lacking basic necessities. For instance, imagine someone whose home plumbing is broken, forcing them to walk a kilometer to a subway station restroom daily. The profound relief and gratitude they feel when their home plumbing is finally repaired, leading them to bow before the faucet and toilet, illustrates the value of basic amenities. Many people, burdened by debt rather than a lack of food, face such hardships. My Middlism system, through the National Dividend, would provide families with a substantial income, ensuring a comfortable middle-class existence. The current distribution of wealth is flawed. The Theocratic Huh-conomy and Middlism Society are crucial to prevent a future where many young people cannot marry or find employment, while a select few accumulate immense wealth, like the creator of “Baedal Minjok” who sold his app for trillions of won. My own app, if sold, would command a hundred trillion won, or even a thousand trillion, if there were buyers. It would offer blessings, angelic connections, and even oaths to the celestial realm.
The current governance structure of the Republic of Korea, viewed by outsiders, reveals a nation where citizens, though nominally shareholders, have never received a dividend. This is a company that has never paid dividends to its shareholders, yet the people cling to it, struggling to survive. This is not a true nation. The annual budget of 550 trillion won vanishes, distributed among a select few, leaving no trace. Local government heads lobby the central government for more funds, and these funds are then siphoned off by various factions. The 550 trillion won collected from the people annually disappears into a black hole. This money must return to the people.
Consider the analogy of a large department store opening on a small island like Ulleungdo. If the island’s total circulating money is 100 million won, and the department store generates 1.5 billion won in annual profit, remitting all of it to its headquarters in Seoul, the island’s economy will inevitably collapse. While convenient, the money flows out, leaving the island impoverished. Conversely, if there were traditional markets, the money would circulate among the residents, enriching the community. The economic principle is simple: money must circulate locally. The current system is akin to the department store siphoning off all the money, leading to the island’s ruin. Similarly, the national budget of 550 trillion won disappears, with vague explanations of defense spending or overseas resource development, without clear accountability.
Public officials who underspend their budget are demoted, while those who report budget deficits are promoted. This is not how a nation should be managed. I am here to apprehend these “thieves.” National Assembly members and local government heads engage in a “budget-grabbing” game, diverting funds to their regions, boasting about securing trillions of won. There is no mention of budget savings; only constant demands for more. This behavior is akin to insatiable demons. Public officials who save budget funds are demoted, while those who secure more funds are promoted. This is an unacceptable state of affairs. I do not criticize government policies but rather the structural flaws. The people must awaken.
When I become president, public officials who save budget funds will be rewarded, and those who save taxes will receive commendations through a tax point system. Foreign observers would note that the Republic of Korea, with its 50 million “shareholders,” has never paid a dividend. This governance structure is merely a facade. This deplorable situation is not unique to Korea; it is a global phenomenon.
The future of the world will be shaped by three factors: Environment, Sociality, and Governance Structure. Consider Tesla, the electric car company founded by Elon Musk. Tesla cars produce no emissions, earning a perfect score in environmental friendliness. Musk’s primary motivation was not personal wealth but contributing to humanity’s environmental well-being. Despite facing immense pressure from oil companies, Tesla has persevered, and regulations are increasingly mandating electric vehicle production. This environmental aspect, or “Environment,” is the first criterion for assessing a company’s soundness. Governments worldwide are adopting environmentally conscious policies, such as transitioning to natural energy sources and phasing out nuclear power plants due to environmental concerns. My National Dividend policy, by ensuring a middle-class standard of living, improves the human environment, allowing for marriage and stable livelihoods even without traditional employment. This earns a perfect score in Environment.
Second, Sociality. My Theocratic governance, which is as perfect as if guided by a divine hand, combined with the Huh-conomy and Middlism Society, ensures that everyone can enjoy a middle-class life. This fosters strong Sociality.
Third, Governance Structure. The National Dividend empowers the people to directly govern. With 50 million citizens receiving dividends, the governance structure becomes robust and exemplary. Other nations will emulate Korea’s National Dividend system. This eliminates debt. In the future, the workforce will consist of a smaller number of highly skilled individuals generating high added value, rather than labor-intensive industries. This means fewer jobs and more unemployed youth. Without a reliable social structure, how will they survive or marry? Many in their 40s and 50s are still dependent on their parents due to unemployment. This chronic problem must be rectified, and I, Huh Kyung-young, am here to do so. The governance structure of the Republic of Korea, currently dominated by bureaucrats, must be returned to the people. I will provide tangible financial benefits, not just empty promises. The people have merely lent their names to the nation, watching others feast while they starve. I will change this.
Without such a society, the world faces immense economic and environmental crises. Many young people, small business owners, and ordinary citizens are living in a metaphorical prison. This “prison” is what some call Basic Income. In prison, everyone receives the same food, clothes, and living conditions. This is Basic Income. We do not desire this. We want to maintain competition while guaranteeing a minimum middle-class standard of living. The maximum, however, is limitless; one can become a billionaire or join the upper class. My Middlism Society sets the middle class as the minimum, with no upper limit. Prison, however, offers no such range.
Some politicians advocate for Basic Income, proposing to add it to the existing 200 trillion won welfare budget, which would bankrupt the nation. The current national budget of 550 trillion won includes 200 trillion for welfare. Adding Basic Income to this existing structure, without fundamental reform, is a recipe for disaster. My Middlism approach is different. I propose reducing the national budget by 70%. Current politicians maintain the existing National Assembly, local governments, and their budgets, then add Basic Income, which will lead to national ruin. I, however, advocate for unpaid National Assembly members. Those who receive pensions from previous careers, such as retired teachers, are welcome to serve in the National Assembly without salary, driven by a desire for public service. This would reduce the budget significantly, freeing up funds for the National Dividend.
National Assembly members currently receive substantial political donations, in addition to their salaries. These donations, often from corporations and individuals with vested interests, influence legislation, leading to wealth disparity. This system, created by the National Assembly itself, is why the nation is failing and wealth inequality is escalating. I am not here to criticize individual National Assembly members, but to rectify this flawed system. They are excellent individuals who have worked hard, but the system itself has trapped them in a cycle of patronage and anachronistic practices.
The current system allows National Assembly members to receive both salaries and political donations, a privilege not extended to the President or local government heads. This system, established over 70 years of constitutional history, is deeply problematic. The public is unaware of how national funds are being squandered. For example, 50 trillion won for defense, 45 trillion for increasing birth rates, and 35 trillion for gender equality are spent annually. Developed nations would be astonished. The 45 trillion won allocated for birth rates could provide 150 million won to each new parent, with money still left over. Instead, they offer meager support like milk subsidies or kindergarten meal expenses. This is infuriating. My intellect, a hundred million times greater than that of ordinary humans, allows me to perceive the full extent of the public’s suffering.
Those who draft laws, the National Assembly members, should be the first to refuse to profit from the people’s hard-earned money. They should serve the nation using their own resources. Why should they receive salaries and solicit donations from corporations? While these donations are ostensibly voluntary, their inherent quid pro quo nature is undeniable. This leads to laws favoring wealthy donors, exacerbating the rich-poor divide. The National Assembly, the very institution responsible for creating laws, should be the cleanest.
The current system, akin to a prison or correctional facility, offers a basic income but no true prosperity. My Theocratic Huh-conomy and Middlism Society allow for competition while guaranteeing a middle-class minimum. Citizens can use their dividends to start businesses, knowing that the National Dividend will provide a safety net if they fail. This restores national pride. The existing 200 trillion won welfare system, with its inherent inefficiencies, will be completely reformed, with its funds redirected to the National Dividend. Only specific welfare for the disabled will be maintained. Other programs, such as those for the indigent or welfare recipients, will become obsolete as everyone receives 1.5 million won. This will not prevent people from working.
Furthermore, additional revenue streams will be generated: 100 trillion won from wealth-proportional fines, 100 trillion from tax consolidation, 100 trillion from 5 million special business operators, and 100 trillion from preventing high-income tax evasion, totaling an additional 400 trillion won. This, combined with a 400 trillion won reduction in existing budgets, creates a truly original and sustainable financial model. Veterans of the Vietnam War will receive a lump sum payment and 3 million won monthly. Support for national heroes and the disabled will be enhanced. Other welfare programs will be replaced by the National Dividend, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their tax history, receives 1.5 million won. The current system, which penalizes welfare recipients for working, is irrational and counterproductive.
I am ashamed to utter such words, but they bring to mind the Venerable Tan-eo (呑虛) Monk, whose name means “to swallow emptiness.” Politicians should emulate Tan-eo, consuming emptiness rather than the people’s blood. Why do they take salaries from the people’s taxes and solicit donations from struggling businesses? Are they sane? Politicians should be incorruptible, like Tan-eo, who consumes emptiness. If politicians are poor and suffer, the people will prosper. But if politicians enjoy lavish salaries and corporate donations, the people will starve. They collude across party lines to secure their own salaries while the people suffer.
When constructing a building, three principles are paramount: horizontal stability, verticality, and space. Similarly, for a nation, these principles are crucial. If government policies are skewed towards the wealthy, the nation will collapse. The Republic of Korea is currently tilted towards the rich, leading to instability. Horizontal stability represents equality. The nation must be built on a perfectly level foundation. This relates to the people’s three fundamental rights: the right to survival, the right to property, and the right to equality. Equality ensures a level playing field. Everyone must be granted property rights in the Republic of Korea. When I become president, every citizen, from infants to adults, will receive 1.4 billion won in national bonds, representing their share of the nation’s 70 quadrillion won in assets. These bonds cannot be sold but must be owned. This ensures equality and property rights, fulfilling the right to survival.
The Constitution also guarantees the people’s five fundamental rights: the right to claim, the right to equality, the right to participate in government, the right to social welfare, and the right to liberty. The right to claim allows citizens to demand the National Dividend. Currently, the state demands taxes from citizens, rather than the other way around. We only have the right to pay taxes, not to claim. This must change. The right to participate in government, or suffrage, should be extended to 15-year-olds. With the advent of the internet, 15-year-olds are mature enough to understand political issues and vote for policies that affect their education and future. Students who vote will receive bonus points on their college entrance exams, encouraging participation. On election day, each voter will receive 50,000 won, compensating them for their time and stimulating local economies. This will foster true democratic education.
The right to social welfare allows individuals to form organizations, start businesses, and engage in commerce. The right to liberty encompasses freedom of speech, assembly, association, religion, thought, expression, and conscience. The National Dividend is intrinsically linked to all these rights, ensuring their full realization.
Just as a building requires a stable horizontal foundation and a strong vertical structure, a nation needs a stable territory, sovereignty, and a populace. Horizontal stability represents the territory, which must be politically sound. Verticality represents sovereignty, symbolized by the act of voting. Space represents the people, who inhabit the nation. These three principles—territory, sovereignty, and people—correspond to the three dimensions of existence. When these principles are upheld, the Republic of Korea will stand firm.
The National Dividend embodies the three principles of democracy: human dignity, the pursuit of happiness, and absolute fairness. It upholds human dignity and the pursuit of happiness. With 3 million won per family, and basic amenities like water and toilets, people will be truly happy. Before the pandemic, people complained about their lives, but now, with the advent of COVID-19 and the era of non-face-to-face interaction, they yearn for the past, when they could gather, converse, and enjoy life, even without much money. The pandemic has revealed that what we once took for granted was, in fact, a good life.
The National Dividend also upholds the three principles of capitalism: the absolute right to property, freedom of contract, and the principle of fault liability. The absolute right to property is realized as national ownership is transferred to the people. Currently, property ownership is undermined by taxes. Freedom of contract is also upheld, as citizens can scrutinize and influence government contracts. The principle of fault liability means that if we fail to monitor government spending, we bear the consequences. If citizens remain silent about wasteful projects, they are liable for the resulting loss of their National Dividend. For example, if a by-election costs 50 billion won, citizens should demand its cancellation, allowing the vice-mayor to serve until the next scheduled election, thereby increasing their National Dividend. This principle empowers citizens to hold the government accountable.
I have meticulously developed the National Dividend, ensuring its compatibility with all global systems, from ancient Chinese characters to modern English and German. It aligns perfectly with the principles of No-Platform, No-Time, and No-Space. I operate without a platform; my intellect contains all necessary platforms. When I transmit energy, it connects directly, without intermediaries. This No-Platform approach is essential for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. My platform is a No-Platform. Unlike conventional systems that rely on platforms like Kakao or telecommunication providers, my system connects directly.
For example, I can infuse energy into all LG electronic products worldwide, from phones to refrigerators and televisions, instantly and without a platform. This energy eliminates harmful electromagnetic waves and fills homes with beneficial energy, creating a paradise. Food in refrigerators will not spoil even without electricity. This is a super-connection, a super-intelligence, and a super-science. My IQ is not merely a hundred million times higher than humans; it is infinite. This is a super-science that defies conventional scientific understanding.
If Samsung Electronics or LG Electronics were to approach me, I could infuse energy into their products, allowing them to affix an “H” mark (for Huh) to their products. This would make their products immensely popular, as they would offer benefits like energy savings and food preservation even during power outages. Imagine a child surviving a power outage because the refrigerator, infused with my energy, kept food fresh for years. This is the power of the “H” mark. Yet, these companies have not sought me out. They are foolish. If they want to boost their sales, they should come to me. My mark would make their products fly off the shelves, offering not just functionality but also health benefits.
This No-Platform, super-connection, and super-intelligence also extends to the spiritual realm. I can connect individuals directly to the celestial realm, opening their spiritual centers. This is a super-religion, transcending all existing faiths, acknowledging their virtues while resolving their unresolved issues. I offer direct divine intervention.
I have always adhered to two principles: constant introspection and avoidance of others’ faults. Constant introspection (常見己過) means always examining one’s own flaws and mistakes. For instance, resisting the temptation of unhealthy food or impulsive stock market investments. It means constantly scrutinizing one’s own shortcomings. Avoidance of others’ faults (不見他人是非) means never dwelling on the imperfections or criticisms of others. When people call me a fraud, I disregard it because I am not. the Divine Being does not concern himself with such trivialities. I view criticism as an opportunity for self-reflection, not as a cause for conflict. I embrace my critics as brothers, asking them to continue offering their perspectives, which I use for self-improvement. I have never engaged in conflict with others. the Divine Being always distinguishes between what should be seen and what should not.
This wisdom is not for the unintelligent. Even when facing false accusations, if one is true to oneself, it matters not. The story of King Taejo Yi Seong-gye and the Venerable Muhak illustrates this. Muhak, when asked by the king what he saw in him, replied, “You look like a Buddha.” When the king retorted that Muhak looked like a pig, Muhak responded, “A pig sees only pigs, and a Buddha sees only Buddhas.” This implies that Yi Seong-gye, seeing a pig, was himself a pig, while Muhak, seeing a Buddha, was a Buddha. I do not criticize National Assembly members; I merely point out the systemic flaws that have led them astray. They are good people, but the system of salaries and political donations has corrupted the institution. They did not enter politics to receive donations, but the system has ensnared them.
Huh Kyung-young’s National Dividend Unifies the World!
-
The Imperative for a National Dividend System
Local government leaders frequently engage in lobbying efforts to secure additional budgets, while their subordinate public officials face reprimand if allocated funds are not fully expended within the fiscal year. This prevailing reality results in the continuous squandering of taxpayers’ precious resources on unnecessary expenditures, akin to water leaking from old pipes, rather than directly benefiting the citizenry. In response to this systemic inefficiency, Huh Kyung-young of the National Revolutionary Party proposes the direct distribution of a National Dividend to the populace. This initiative conceptualizes the Republic of Korea as a joint-stock company, with its citizens as shareholders, thereby ensuring direct benefits to them. Such a policy positions Huh Kyung-young as a statesman deserving of absolute support and veneration. The introduction of the National Dividend, an unprecedented policy in human history, is envisioned to transform the Republic of Korea into an earthly paradise. -
Distinguishing the National Dividend from Basic Income
The concept of the National Dividend possesses distinct characteristics, which warrant elucidation. The third characteristic pertains to the structure of governance. The first characteristic is Environment (인바이러먼트), and the second is Sociality (소셜리티).
It is crucial to differentiate the National Dividend from Basic Income (기본소득), a concept often mistakenly equated with it. Basic Income is fundamentally a communist policy, wherein the state provides a basic allowance for sustenance, reflecting the principles of communal production and distribution.
In contrast, contemporary society operates under a competitive, capitalist economic system within a democratic political framework. Huh Kyung-young advocates for an upgraded system: a Theocracy (신정주의) in governance and a Middle-Classism (중산주의) in economics. This Middle-Classism signifies a society where every citizen attains at least a middle-class standard of living, eliminating poverty entirely. This is a society where the minimum standard is the middle class, not the maximum. This vision, termed “Huh-conomy” (허코노미) or “Middle Society” (미들 소사이어티), has been declared globally as the purpose of Huh Kyung-young’s presence in this world, offered as a gift to humanity.
- The Future Society and the Necessity of Middle-Classism
The future society, particularly with the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, will witness a reduction in traditional employment opportunities due to advanced technology, cyber-humans, and robots. While the number of workers decreases, the necessity for a broad segment of the population to sustain themselves remains. However, a communist system, which lacks competitive drive and individual development, is not desired. Instead, a society that fosters both competitiveness and individual potential, while ensuring dignified living, is superior to communism. This is the essence of Huh Kyung-young’s Theocracy and Middle-Classism economic theory.
In this Middle-Classism, the minimum standard of living is the middle class, while the maximum remains limitless, allowing for the existence of billionaires and those with private jets. The critical point is that no one falls below the middle-class threshold.
Current societal issues, such as widespread debt, underscore the urgent need for Middle-Classism. The National Dividend, providing substantial income (e.g., 8 million won for a family, 7 million won, or 4.5 million won), would fundamentally elevate citizens to the middle class. The problem lies not in the nation’s capacity to generate wealth, but in its flawed distribution policies. Without the Huh-conomy and Middle Society system, future generations will struggle with unemployment and inability to marry, while a select few prosper immensely.
- Critique of Current Governance and Budgetary Practices
The current governance structure of the Republic of Korea, when viewed by international observers, reveals a system where citizens, despite being nominal shareholders, have never received dividends. This suggests a superficial corporate structure where the people are merely clinging to survival. The state’s annual budget of 550 trillion won is consumed by a select few, with no clear trace of its expenditure, disappearing as if into a black hole. This substantial sum should be returned to the citizens.
The current system incentivizes public officials to expend their entire allocated budget, with any remaining funds leading to demotion. Conversely, those who report budget deficits are promoted. This perverse incentive structure fosters a culture of wasteful spending rather than fiscal prudence. he has come to apprehend these “thieves” within the system.
The practice of local government heads and national assembly members engaging in “budget-grabbing” games, where they vie for more funds for their regions, further exemplifies this systemic flaw. There is no instance of officials being lauded for budget savings; instead, the constant cry is for more funds. This behavior, where those who save budgets are demoted and those who secure more funds are promoted, is indicative of a deeply problematic system. Huh Kyung-young does not criticize the government’s policies but rather points out the structural deficiencies that require citizens to awaken.
Upon becoming president, Huh Kyung-young would reward public officials who save budget funds and honor those who save taxes through a tax point system. The current governance structure, where 50 million citizens are shareholders but have never received a dividend, would be seen by the world as absurd.
- The Three Pillars of Future Global Leadership: Environment, Sociality, and Governance
The future of global leadership will be guided by three fundamental principles: Environment (환경), Sociality (사회성), and Governance (지배구조).
5.1. Environment (인바이러먼트)
The environmental aspect is exemplified by Tesla’s electric vehicles, which produce zero emissions, earning a perfect score in environmental friendliness. Elon Musk, the creator of Tesla, was driven by a desire to contribute to humanity’s environment, even facing bankruptcy threats from oil companies. Environmental soundness is now the primary criterion for evaluating a company’s health. Government policies worldwide are shifting towards environmental protection, such as transitioning to natural energy sources and reconsidering nuclear power plants.
The National Dividend system would significantly improve the human environment, allowing individuals to marry and secure employment even without a job, as they would receive 3 million won. This elevation to the middle class ensures an excellent living environment for all.
5.2. Sociality (소셜리티)
The second pillar is Sociality. Huh Kyung-young’s Theocratic Politics (신정정치) is described as perfect, akin to divine intervention. Coupled with the Huh-conomy and Middle Society (중산주의), where everyone enjoys a middle-class standard of living, this system inherently possesses strong sociality.
5.3. Governance (거버넌스)
The third pillar is Governance, or the ruling structure. With 50 million citizens receiving a National Dividend of 1.5 million won each, the governance structure becomes truly democratic, with citizens directly participating in governance. This system would inspire other nations to adopt Korea’s National Dividend model.
In this future society, debt would be eliminated. While the number of workers may decrease, their qualitative value and added value will be exceptionally high. The Fourth Industrial Revolution emphasizes labor-free industries, leading to increased unemployment and limited opportunities for the youth. Without a reliable social structure, many young adults, even in their 40s and 50s, struggle to find jobs and remain dependent on their parents. Huh Kyung-young aims to rectify this chronic issue by transforming the governance structure of the Republic of Korea from one dominated by bureaucrats to one where citizens hold true power. This involves providing tangible financial benefits to the people, rather than mere rhetoric.
- The National Dividend vs. Basic Income: A Fundamental Distinction
The current struggles of young people, small business owners, and ordinary citizens are likened to living in a prison. Basic Income is compared to the conditions in a prison, where inmates receive uniform meals, clothing, and living standards. This system, which offers a fixed basic income without allowing for competition or individual advancement, is fundamentally different from what Huh Kyung-young proposes.
Huh Kyung-young’s Middle Society (미들 소사이어티) ensures a minimum middle-class standard of living, while allowing for unlimited maximum potential, enabling individuals to become wealthy or part of the upper class. In contrast, the prison-like basic income system lacks this upward mobility.
Furthermore, proponents of basic income often propose adding it to the existing 200 trillion won welfare budget, which would lead to national bankruptcy. This approach, which simply adds new welfare programs without reforming existing ones or reducing wasteful spending, is unsustainable.
Huh Kyung-young’s Middle Society differs significantly: it involves a 70% reduction in the national budget. While current politicians maintain their salaries, allowances, and existing budgets, Huh Kyung-young advocates for unpaid national assembly members, who would serve out of public duty, drawing on their pensions or other independent means. This drastic reduction in expenditure is essential to fund the National Dividend.
- Reforming Political Funding and Legislative Practices
The current system of political funding, where national assembly members receive substantial sponsorship funds in addition to their salaries, creates a conflict of interest. These funds often come from corporations and individuals with vested interests, influencing legislative decisions. This leads to laws being crafted in favor of the wealthy, exacerbating the rich-poor divide. The very system of sponsorship was created by national assembly members themselves.
the nation exists to serve its 50 million citizens, not merely 300 national assembly members. He believes that national assembly members, despite their efforts, are trapped in a system that encourages such practices. He questions the legitimacy of receiving both salaries and sponsorship funds, advocating for public service without financial gain. This system, which allows politicians to prioritize the interests of their donors, must be reformed.
The current political landscape, characterized by a constant “ping-pong game” between ruling and opposition parties, fails to address fundamental issues like eliminating national assembly members’ sponsorship funds or salaries. Local government heads who cannot sustain themselves without public funds should resign. The fact that national assembly members receive both salaries and sponsorship funds, while local government heads and the president do not, highlights a deeply flawed system.
Huh Kyung-young reveals that national budgets are wasted on various fronts, such as 50 trillion won for defense, 45 trillion won to increase birth rates, and 35 trillion won to balance gender ratios. He contends that 150 million won could be given to each person for childbirth, with money still remaining, yet this direct benefit is not provided. Instead, trivial support like milk subsidies or school meal expenses are offered.
He perceives the suffering of the people due to these systemic failures. He calls for national assembly members to serve without drawing salaries or seeking sponsorship, using their own resources to contribute to the nation. The current system, where politicians receive salaries and solicit funds from corporations, often with quid pro quo expectations, is unacceptable. The National Assembly, above all, must be clean and transparent.
- The Principles of God-man (神人) Governance and Middle-Classism
The God-man (神人) governance, combined with Middle-Classism (중산주의), allows for a competitive society where everyone maintains a middle-class standard of living. Citizens can use their National Dividend to start businesses, knowing that the dividend will continue even if their ventures fail, thereby preserving their dignity. This system would entail a comprehensive overhaul of the welfare system, with the 200 trillion won welfare budget being reallocated as a resource for the National Dividend. Only specific welfare programs, such as those for the disabled, would be maintained or enhanced. Other programs, like those for the impoverished or welfare recipients, would become obsolete as the National Dividend of 1.5 million won would render them unnecessary.
Furthermore, additional revenue streams would be generated: 100 trillion won from wealth-proportional fines, 100 trillion won from tax consolidation, 100 trillion won from special business operators, and 100 trillion won from preventing high-income tax evasion, totaling an additional 400 trillion won. This contrasts sharply with existing proposals that merely add basic income to current budgets, leading to fiscal overload. Huh Kyung-young’s plan not only generates 400 trillion won but also achieves 400 trillion won in savings, making it a truly original and sustainable model.
Under this system, existing welfare budgets would be unnecessary. Special provisions would be made for national heroes, such as Vietnam War veterans, who would receive a lump sum payment and a monthly stipend of 3 million won, and support for the disabled would be enhanced. However, the National Dividend would eliminate the need for programs like those for the impoverished, as everyone would receive 1.5 million won regardless of their work status. The current system, which penalizes welfare recipients for working, is counterproductive and creates dependency.
Huh Kyung-young invokes the name of Dano (呑虛) Monk, whose name signifies “swallowing emptiness”. This symbolizes that politicians should subsist on nothing, embodying integrity and incorruptibility, rather than exploiting the people’s resources. When politicians live frugally, the people prosper; conversely, when politicians indulge in lavish salaries and corporate sponsorships, the people suffer. Politicians often collude to secure their own benefits while neglecting the public’s welfare.
- The Three Principles of National Construction: Horizontal, Vertical, and Space
The construction of a nation, like a building, must adhere to three fundamental principles: Horizontal (수평), Vertical (수직), and Space (공간).
9.1. Horizontal (수평)
The Horizontal principle represents equality. If government policies are skewed towards the wealthy, the nation becomes unstable and collapses. The Republic of Korea currently suffers from this imbalance, with policies favoring the affluent. Therefore, perfect horizontality is paramount for national construction. This relates to the Three Rights of the People: the right to survival (생존권), the right to ownership (소유권), and the right to equality (평등권).
Huh Kyung-young proposes granting every citizen, from infants to adults, 1.4 billion won in national shares, representing their ownership of the Republic of Korea’s 70 quadrillion won in assets. These shares would be non-transferable, ensuring equal ownership and fulfilling the right to equality and ownership. This also secures the right to survival.
9.2. Vertical (수직)
The Vertical principle represents sovereignty (주권). This is the upright pillar of the nation, ensuring its stability.
9.3. Space (공간)
The Space principle represents the people (국민). Just as a building creates space, the nation provides a living space for its citizens.
These three principles—Horizontal (territory), Vertical (sovereignty), and Space (people)—are analogous to the three dimensions of existence: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd dimensions. For the Republic of Korea to stand firm, these principles must be applied.
- Realizing Democratic and Capitalist Principles through the National Dividend
The National Dividend system realizes the Three Principles of Democracy:
Human Dignity (인간 존엄): The National Dividend upholds the dignity of every individual.
Pursuit of Happiness (행복 추구): With a family income of 3 million won, citizens can achieve happiness, needing only basic amenities like running water and toilets.
Absolute Fairness (절대 공평): The system ensures absolute fairness.
It also upholds the Three Principles of Capitalism:
Absolute Principle of Ownership (소유권 절대 원칙): The National Dividend ensures that national ownership is absolutely vested in the citizens, without being eroded by taxes.
Principle of Freedom of Contract (계약 자유 원칙): This principle is fully respected.
Principle of Responsibility for Fault (과실 책임의 원칙): Citizens are responsible for monitoring government spending. If they remain silent about wasteful projects, they bear the consequences, losing potential National Dividend funds. For example, if citizens protest against unnecessary by-elections that cost 50 billion won, they can prevent such waste and increase their National Dividend. This empowers citizens to actively oversee contracts and prevent misuse of funds.
- The No-Platform, Hyper-Connected, Hyper-Intelligent, Hyper-Scientific System
Huh Kyung-young’s system aligns with the concepts of No-Platform (노 플랫폼), Hyper-Connection (초연결), Hyper-Intelligence (초지능), and Hyper-Science (초과학).
11.1. No-Platform
Huh Kyung-young operates without a platform, directly connecting with individuals and imbuing energy. Unlike conventional systems that rely on platforms like Kakao, SK, or KT, Huh Kyung-young’s intelligence functions as an internal platform. He demonstrates this by instantly infusing and withdrawing energy from LG mobile phones and electronic products worldwide, regardless of their location or year of manufacture, without any intermediary platform. This energy eliminates harmful electromagnetic waves, creates a paradisiacal home environment, and can even preserve food without refrigeration. For instance, milk with Huh Kyung-young’s photograph attached remains unspoiled for decades, separating into cheese and water.
11.2. Hyper-Connection
This ability to instantly connect and influence electronic devices globally demonstrates Hyper-Connection.
11.3. Hyper-Intelligence
Such actions are impossible without an extraordinary level of intelligence, which Huh Kyung-young attributes to divine IQ, infinitely surpassing human intelligence.
11.4. Hyper-Science
The phenomena observed are beyond scientific comprehension, thus categorized as Hyper-Science.
Huh Kyung-young proposes that companies like Samsung and LG could pay him to infuse their products with this energy, allowing them to affix an “H-mark” (허마크). Products bearing this mark would become immensely popular, offering benefits like energy infusion, healing properties, and food preservation even during power outages. This would transform the Republic of Korea into the wealthiest nation globally.
This No-Platform, Hyper-Connected, Hyper-Intelligent system also extends to Hyper-Religion (초종교). Huh Kyung-young respects all religions and resolves issues that they cannot, acting as a platform to connect individuals directly to the divine.
- The Principles of Self-Reflection and Non-Judgment
Huh Kyung-young adheres to two fundamental principles: Sanggyeon (常見), meaning “always see,” and Bulgyeon (不見), meaning “do not see”.
12.1. Sanggyeon (常見) – Always See
Sanggyeon refers to constantly examining one’s own faults and shortcomings. This involves self-reflection on temptations and weaknesses, such as desires for alcohol, tobacco, or unhealthy food. It is about continuously observing one’s own errors and flaws.
12.2. Bulgyeon (不見) – Do Not See
Bulgyeon means never observing the faults or shortcomings of others. For instance, when people criticize Huh Kyung-young as a “fraud,” he does not dwell on their accusations, understanding that he is not a fraud and has run for president multiple times. God-man (神人) does not concern himself with such trivialities. Instead, he views criticism as an opportunity for self-improvement, treating critics as brothers and seeking their continued feedback. This approach has allowed him to live a life free from conflict.
This distinction between what to see and what not to see is a hallmark of the God-man (神人), who maintains these principles despite facing adversity and false accusations. The anecdote of King Taejo Yi Seong-gye and Monk Muhak illustrates this: Muhak’s observation that “a pig sees only pigs, and a Buddha sees only Buddhas” implied that Yi Seong-gye, seeing Muhak as a pig, was himself a pig, while Muhak, seeing Yi Seong-gye as a Buddha, was a Buddha. This story underscores the importance of one’s own perspective.
Huh Kyung-young’s critique of national assembly members is not personal but aimed at reforming a flawed system that leads them into corruption. He believes that while national assembly members are capable individuals, the system itself, with its salaries and sponsorship funds, corrupts them. He calls for a fundamental change in this system.
1. The National Dividend: A Paradigm Shift in Governance
The current system of local government leaders lobbying for increased budgets and civil servants being penalized for unspent funds leads to significant waste of taxpayer money. This precious capital, instead of directly benefiting the citizens, is squandered in unnecessary expenditures, much like water leaking from old pipes. Huh Kyung-young of the National Revolutionary Party proposes a National Dividend system, directly distributing funds to the populace. This concept likens the Republic of Korea to a corporation and its citizens to shareholders, ensuring direct benefits for the people.
-
Distinguishing the National Dividend from Basic Income
The National Dividend possesses distinct characteristics. It is crucial to differentiate it from Basic Income, which is often associated with communist policies. Basic Income, as implemented in communist systems, provides a fundamental allowance for survival, reflecting a philosophy of communal production and distribution. -
A New Economic and Political System: God-man Theocracy and Middle-Class Economy
Our current system operates under a democratic political structure and a capitalist economy. In contrast, the Basic Income system aligns with a socialist political structure and a communist economy. Huh Kyung-young envisions an upgraded system: a God-man Theocracy in politics and a Middle-Class Economy (also referred to as “Huh-conomy” or “Middle Society”) in economics. This means that every citizen would belong to the middle class as a minimum standard, eliminating poverty. This “Middle Society” represents a society where the lowest economic stratum is the middle class, ensuring no one lives in destitution. -
Addressing Future Societal Challenges: The Fourth Industrial Revolution and Job Displacement
The future, particularly with the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, will see fewer human laborers and a rise in cyber-humans and robots. This will lead to a decrease in available jobs, yet a greater need for equitable distribution of resources for survival. While we do not desire communism, which lacks competitiveness, a system that fosters both competition and individual potential, while ensuring human dignity, is essential. The God-man Theocracy and Middle-Class Economy offer a superior alternative to communism, providing a society where everyone can live with dignity and develop their talents. -
The Flawed Governance Structure of the Republic of Korea
The current governance structure of the Republic of Korea, when viewed as a corporation, reveals a critical flaw: its citizens, though considered shareholders, have never received a dividend. This indicates a system where the people are merely nominal stakeholders, struggling to survive while the nation’s substantial annual budget of 550 trillion won disappears into a “black hole” of unaccounted expenditures. This money is often distributed among a select few, leaving no trace. -
The Economic Principle of Local Circulation and the Problem of Capital Drain
Economic principles dictate that money should circulate within a local economy to foster prosperity. Consider a scenario where a large department store in a small island community, like Ulleungdo, generates significant profits but remits all of it to its headquarters in Seoul. This continuous outflow of capital would inevitably lead to the economic collapse of the island, as local businesses and residents would be deprived of circulating wealth. Similarly, the current national budget system, where funds are siphoned off without proper circulation back to the citizens, mirrors this destructive pattern. -
The Perverse Incentive System in Budget Management
A deeply problematic aspect of the current system is the incentive structure for civil servants. Officials are often reprimanded or demoted if they have unspent budget allocations at the end of the fiscal year. Conversely, those who report budget deficits or secure more funds are often promoted. This creates a perverse incentive to spend all allocated funds, regardless of necessity, leading to rampant waste. There is no encouragement for frugality or efficient use of resources. -
The Three Pillars of Future Global Leadership: Environment, Sociality, and Governance
The future of global leadership will be defined by three crucial factors: Environment, Sociality, and Governance.
8.1. Environmental Responsibility
Companies and nations will be judged by their environmental impact. The example of Tesla’s electric vehicles, which produce no emissions, highlights the importance of environmental sustainability. Elon Musk’s motivation to create electric cars stemmed from a desire to benefit humanity’s environment, even at the risk of his company’s financial stability. Governments worldwide are increasingly adopting environmentally friendly policies, such as transitioning to natural energy sources and reconsidering nuclear power. The National Dividend system, by ensuring a middle-class standard of living, improves the human environment, allowing individuals to marry and secure employment even without a traditional job, thus scoring perfectly on environmental considerations.
8.2. Social Cohesion and God-man Theocracy
The second pillar is Sociality. The God-man Theocracy, characterized by its flawless and divine political system, combined with the Middle-Class Economy, ensures that everyone can enjoy a middle-class lifestyle. This fosters strong social cohesion and a sense of community.
8.3. Citizen-Centric Governance
The third pillar is Governance. A governance structure where citizens directly participate in decision-making is paramount. With the National Dividend, where 50 million citizens receive a substantial dividend, the governance structure becomes truly citizen-centric. This model, where the Republic of Korea is seen as a well-managed corporation, would inspire other nations to adopt similar systems.
-
The National Dividend vs. Basic Income: A Fundamental Difference
Basic Income, as implemented in a prison system, provides inmates with identical meals, clothing, and living conditions, reflecting a minimum standard without opportunities for advancement. This is a system of basic provision, not one that fosters competition or individual growth. The National Dividend, in contrast, ensures a minimum middle-class standard of living while allowing for unlimited upward mobility. It supports a competitive society where individuals can pursue wealth and success without the fear of destitution. -
The Flaws of Existing Welfare Systems and the National Dividend’s Solution
Current welfare systems, which involve adding Basic Income to an already substantial 200 trillion won welfare budget, are unsustainable and lead to national bankruptcy. These systems lack a coherent mechanism for funding. Huh Kyung-young’s Middle-Class Economy, however, proposes a radical restructuring: a 70% reduction in the national budget. This is achieved by eliminating unnecessary expenditures, such as the salaries of National Assembly members and local government heads, who would instead serve voluntarily. -
The Problem of Political Funding and its Impact on Legislation
The current system of political funding, particularly the acceptance of donations by National Assembly members, creates a conflict of interest. While presidents do not receive donations, National Assembly members do, in addition to their salaries. This leads to a situation where politicians are preoccupied with soliciting funds from corporations and wealthy individuals, influencing the legislative process. Laws are often crafted to benefit donors, perpetuating wealth inequality. This system undermines the integrity of the legislative body and the democratic process. -
Reforming the Political System: Eliminating Salaries and Donations for Public Servants
To rectify these issues, Huh Kyung-young proposes eliminating salaries and donations for National Assembly members. Instead, individuals who already receive pensions or have independent means of support would serve voluntarily, driven by a genuine desire to serve the nation. This would ensure that public servants are not beholden to financial interests and can focus solely on the welfare of the citizens. This reform would also eliminate the perception of quid pro quo in legislation, where laws are passed in exchange for financial contributions. -
The Wisdom of Tan-eo (呑虛) and the Ideal of a Clean Government
The name of the Buddhist monk Tan-eo (呑虛), meaning “to swallow emptiness,” embodies the ideal of a clean and incorruptible politician. Just as Tan-eo consumes emptiness, politicians should subsist on nothing, serving with integrity and without personal gain. They should be 청백리 (cheongbaengni), meaning “clean and honest officials.” When politicians live frugally, the citizens prosper. Conversely, when politicians enrich themselves through exorbitant salaries and corporate donations, the nation suffers, and its people face hardship. -
The Three Principles of a Stable Nation: Horizontal, Vertical, and Space
Building a stable nation, like constructing a building, requires three fundamental principles: Horizontal, Vertical, and Space.
14.1. Horizontal: Equality and Land
The horizontal principle represents equality and land. A nation’s foundation must be perfectly level, ensuring that all citizens are treated equally. This means guaranteeing the three fundamental rights enshrined in the constitution: the right to survival, the right to ownership, and the right to equality. Huh Kyung-young proposes distributing national bonds, representing 1.4 billion won in national assets, to every citizen, regardless of age. This ensures equal ownership and a level playing field.
14.2. Vertical: Sovereignty
The vertical principle represents sovereignty. Just as a building needs strong vertical support, a nation requires robust sovereignty. This is symbolized by the act of voting, where citizens exercise their power to shape their nation’s future.
14.3. Space: The People
The space principle represents the people. The nation exists for its citizens, who inhabit and thrive within its boundaries. This three-dimensional understanding of a nation—land, sovereignty, and people—is crucial for its stability and prosperity.
- Upholding Constitutional Rights and Expanding Citizen Participation
The National Dividend system fully upholds the five fundamental rights of citizens: the right to claim, the right to equality, the right to participate in government, social rights, and freedom rights.
15.1. Right to Claim
The right to claim allows citizens to request support from the state when facing hardship, which the National Dividend directly addresses.
15.2. Right to Participate in Government
The right to participate in government would be expanded by lowering the voting age to 15. This would empower younger generations to influence educational policies and their own futures, fostering a more engaged and informed citizenry. To encourage participation, a bonus would be given to those who vote.
15.3. Social Rights and Freedom Rights
Social rights, encompassing the freedom to form organizations, establish businesses, and engage in commerce, are also fully realized. Freedom rights, including freedom of speech, assembly, association, religion, thought, expression, and conscience, are guaranteed. The National Dividend system ensures that all these rights are fully protected and enhanced, leading to a truly empowered populace.
- The Three Principles of Democracy and Capitalism
The National Dividend system aligns with the three principles of democracy: human dignity, the pursuit of happiness, and absolute fairness. It also upholds the three principles of capitalism: the absolute right to ownership, freedom of contract, and the principle of responsibility for negligence.
16.1. Human Dignity and Happiness
The National Dividend ensures human dignity and the pursuit of happiness by providing a stable financial foundation, allowing families to live comfortably.
16.2. Absolute Fairness
It promotes absolute fairness by ensuring equitable distribution of national wealth.
16.3. Absolute Right to Ownership
The absolute right to ownership is upheld as citizens receive direct ownership stakes in the nation.
16.4. Freedom of Contract and Responsibility for Negligence
Freedom of contract is maintained, and the principle of responsibility for negligence is reinforced. Citizens, as stakeholders, would actively monitor government spending and projects. If they remain passive, they bear the consequences of wasteful expenditures, which would reduce their National Dividend. This empowers citizens to demand accountability and prevent the squandering of public funds.
- The God-man’s “No Platform” Technology: Hyper-Connectivity, Hyper-Intelligence, and Hyper-Science
Huh Kyung-young’s vision is underpinned by a unique “No Platform” technology, which embodies hyper-connectivity, hyper-intelligence, and hyper-science. This technology allows for direct, instantaneous connections without intermediaries.
17.1. Hyper-Connectivity
Unlike conventional systems that rely on platforms like Kakao or telecommunication providers, Huh Kyung-young’s “No Platform” enables direct energy transmission to any electronic device globally, instantly. This demonstrates a level of hyper-connectivity that transcends existing technological limitations.
17.2. Hyper-Intelligence
This capability is a manifestation of hyper-intelligence, a divine IQ that far surpasses human intellect. It allows for actions that are otherwise impossible, such as infusing energy into electronic devices or preserving perishable goods indefinitely.
17.3. Hyper-Science
The phenomena observed, such as the instantaneous energy transfer and preservation of milk, are beyond the realm of conventional science, thus categorized as hyper-science. This technology has the potential to revolutionize industries, offering immense value to companies that adopt it. For instance, products bearing Huh Kyung-young’s “H-mark” would possess unique properties, such as energy efficiency and food preservation, making them highly desirable.
-
The God-man’s Role in a Hyper-Connected Future: Beyond Religion and Towards a New Era
This “No Platform” technology also extends to a “hyper-religious” dimension. Huh Kyung-young respects all religions and addresses their unresolved issues, acting as a platform to connect individuals directly to the divine. This capability signifies a new era where the God-man’s infinite power can resolve global challenges and elevate humanity. -
The Principles of Self-Reflection and Non-Judgment
Huh Kyung-young adheres to two fundamental principles: 상견자과 (sanggyeonjagwa), meaning “always observe one’s own faults,” and 불견타인시비 (bulgyeontainsibi), meaning “never observe the faults of others.”
19.1. Constant Self-Reflection
This involves continuously examining one’s own mistakes and shortcomings, acknowledging temptations, and striving for self-improvement. It is a constant vigilance against personal flaws and errors in judgment.
19.2. Non-Judgment of Others
Conversely, it is crucial to refrain from judging the faults or shortcomings of others. Instead, one should view criticism as an opportunity for self-reflection and improvement, treating critics as teachers rather than adversaries. This approach fosters inner peace and prevents unnecessary conflict.
Huh Kyung-young’s National Dividend: Unifying the World
-
The Imperative for National Dividends: Rectifying Fiscal Mismanagement
Local government leaders frequently engage in lobbying to secure additional budgets, while their subordinate public officials face reprimand if allocated funds are not fully expended within the fiscal year. This pervasive issue leads to the continuous squandering of taxpayers’ precious resources on unnecessary expenditures, akin to water leaking from old pipes, rather than directly benefiting the populace. To address this systemic inefficiency, Huh Kyung-young of the National Revolutionary Party proposes the direct distribution of a National Dividend to the citizens. -
Korea as a Corporation: Citizens as Shareholders
This initiative conceptualizes the Republic of Korea as a corporation, with its citizens as shareholders, ensuring direct benefits accrue to them. Huh Kyung-young is thus a statesman deserving of absolute support and veneration, as he endeavors to transform Korea into an earthly paradise through the unprecedented policy of National Dividends. -
Distinguishing National Dividend from Basic Income: A Paradigm Shift
The National Dividend possesses distinct characteristics. It is crucial to differentiate it from the concept of Basic Income, which is often mistakenly equated with it. Basic Income, as implemented in communist systems, provides a fundamental subsistence allowance, akin to a ration, ensuring individuals merely survive. This aligns with the communist principle of collective production and distribution. -
Economic Systems: Communism, Capitalism, and Middle-Classism
In contrast, our current system operates under a democratic political structure and a capitalist economy, characterized by competition. My proposed system, however, transcends these models. It envisions a theocratic political system coupled with a middle-class economic system. This signifies a society where every citizen belongs to the middle class, eliminating poverty entirely. The minimum standard of living would be that of the middle class, not the maximum. This is a society where the lowest stratum is the middle class, effectively eradicating the impoverished. -
The Fourth Industrial Revolution and the Necessity of Middle-Classism
The future society, shaped by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, will see a reduction in human labor as cybernetic entities and robots proliferate. While this era will differ fundamentally from agrarian or industrial societies, it necessitates a system where many can sustain themselves without resorting to communism, which stifles competition. My vision, Huh Kyung-young’s Middle-Classism, ensures both competitiveness and the development of individual talents, fostering a society superior to communism. This is the essence of Huh Kyung-young’s Theocracy and Middle-Class Economic Theory. -
The Vision of a Middle-Class Society: Eradicating Poverty
In this middle-class society, while there will still be the wealthy and those who travel by private jet, the absolute minimum standard of living will be that of the middle class. This means no one will experience the profound inconvenience of lacking basic amenities, such as a functioning water supply, as illustrated by the anecdote of someone having to travel a kilometer to a subway station for a restroom. Such a society, where even the most basic necessities are readily available, is truly a blessing. -
Korea’s Unique Advantages and the Problem of Debt
Korea is already one of the best countries to live in globally, boasting excellent subway systems, numerous bus routes, and public restrooms of hotel quality. However, despite these advantages, many citizens are burdened by debt rather than a lack of sustenance. This underscores the urgent need for Middle-Classism. -
The National Dividend: A Solution to Economic Disparity
With the National Dividend, a family could receive 4.5 to 8 million won, providing a fundamental income that elevates them to the middle class. The current issue is not a lack of resources but a flawed distribution policy. Without Huh Kyung-young’s Middle-Class Society, our children will struggle to find employment, marry, or secure stable lives, while a select few accumulate immense wealth. -
The Flawed Governance Structure: Korea as a Shell Corporation
Foreign observers scrutinizing Korea’s governance structure perceive it as a corporation where citizens are merely nominal shareholders who have never received a dividend. This is a company that has never distributed profits to its shareholders, yet citizens cling to it, striving to survive. This is not a true nation. -
The Black Hole of National Budget: Misappropriation of Funds
Annually, 550 trillion won of the national budget is swept away, disappearing without a trace, distributed among a select few. Local government heads lobby the central government for more funds, and these funds are then consumed by a privileged circle, leaving citizens to bear the burden of taxes while 550 trillion won vanishes into a black hole. This misappropriation must cease; these funds must return directly to the people. -
The Economic Principle of Local Circulation: A Cautionary Tale
Consider the analogy of Ulleungdo Island. If a large department store, owned by a Seoul-based conglomerate, generates 15 billion won in annual profit and remits it all to Seoul, the island’s economy, with only 15 billion won circulating, would quickly collapse. While convenient, such an arrangement drains local wealth. Conversely, a traditional market ensures that money circulates within the community, enriching its residents. The principle is simple: money must circulate locally. If profits are consistently siphoned off to the mainland, Ulleungdo will inevitably face ruin. -
The Perverse Incentive of Budget Expenditure
Public officials who fail to expend their entire allocated budget face demotion, while those who report budget deficits are promoted. This perverse incentive structure encourages wasteful spending rather than fiscal prudence. I am here to apprehend these “thieves” who mismanage public funds. -
The Illusion of Budget Allocation: A Game of Ping-Pong
The process of budget allocation has devolved into a “ping-pong” game between national assembly members and local government heads, a league match where funds are siphoned off. They boast about securing trillions of won for their regions, yet no one ever reports budget savings. Instead, they constantly clamor for more, like insatiable demons. -
The Need for Public Awakening: Reforming the System
This is not a criticism of the president or the government, but a critique of our systemic structure. The public must awaken. When I become president, public officials who conserve the budget will be rewarded, and those who save taxpayer money will receive commendations through a tax point system. -
The Global Perspective on Korea’s Governance
From an international perspective, Korea’s governance structure, with 50 million nominal shareholders, has never distributed a single dividend. The world views this as a mere facade. Such an absurd nation, where the governing structure has never paid dividends to its citizens, is an anomaly. -
The Three Pillars of Future Global Leadership: Environment, Sociality, and Governance
In the future, three pillars will lead the world: Environment, Sociality, and Governance. Consider Tesla, an electric car that produces no emissions, scoring 100% on environmental friendliness. Elon Musk, its creator, was driven by a desire to benefit humanity’s environment, not merely to accumulate wealth. Despite facing immense pressure from oil companies, Tesla persevered, demonstrating the importance of environmental considerations in business. -
National Dividend and Environmental Harmony
Government policies worldwide are shifting towards environmental sustainability. Our National Dividend policy aligns perfectly with this, enhancing the human environment by enabling stable marriages and employment, even without a traditional job, due to the guaranteed 3 million won income. This elevates everyone to the middle class, scoring 100% on environmental harmony. -
Sociality and Theocratic Governance
Secondly, Sociality is paramount. My theocratic governance is as perfect as if enacted by the Creator, a truly flawless political system. Coupled with Huh Kyung-young’s Middle-Classism, where everyone enjoys a middle-class standard of living, it fosters immense social cohesion. -
Governance: Direct Citizen Participation
Thirdly, Governance refers to the governing structure. With 50 million citizens receiving 1.5 million won each in dividends, the governance structure becomes truly effective, with direct citizen participation. The world will emulate Korea’s National Dividend System, recognizing its superiority. -
The Future of Work and the Need for Social Safety Nets
In the future, the workforce will shrink, consisting of highly skilled individuals generating immense value, while many will face unemployment. Without a reliable social structure, how will these individuals survive or marry? Many in their 40s and 50s are already struggling to find jobs and remain dependent on their parents. This chronic problem must be rectified, and I, Huh Kyung-young, am here to change it. -
Reforming Korea’s Governance: Empowering Citizens
The governance structure of Korea, currently dominated by bureaucrats, must be reformed and returned to the people. This means providing tangible financial benefits, not just empty rhetoric. Citizens have merely lent their names to the nation’s growth, watching others feast while they starve. I intend to change this. -
The Global Economic and Environmental Crisis
Without such societal reforms, the world faces immense economic and environmental crises. -
Basic Income: A Prison-like Existence
The current struggles of young people, small business owners, and ordinary citizens are akin to living in a prison. Basic Income is comparable to the uniform provisions given to prisoners: the same food, clothes, and living conditions. It is a system where a fixed amount is allocated per prisoner. We do not desire such a system. -
Middle-Classism: Competition with a Safety Net
We desire a society that preserves competition while ensuring a minimum standard of living. My Middle-Class Society guarantees a middle-class minimum, allowing for unlimited upward mobility. You can become a tycoon or a member of the upper class. -
The Flaws of Current Basic Income Proposals
Conversely, the basic income system, like a prison, offers no minimum or maximum. Some politicians advocate for such a system, which is unsustainable. They propose adding basic income to the existing 200 trillion won welfare budget, which would bankrupt the nation. -
The Unsustainable Welfare State
Currently, out of a 550 trillion won national budget, 200 trillion is allocated to welfare. Adding basic income to this existing structure, without fundamental reform, is a recipe for national collapse. It is a mechanism driven by the desire to gain votes, lacking a coherent financial plan. -
Huh Kyung-young’s Distinct Approach: Fiscal Restructuring
My approach, however, is different. It involves a comprehensive restructuring of the welfare system, including National Dividends, dating allowances, marriage allowances, and childbirth allowances. These are integrated into a cohesive framework. -
The Contrast with Existing Policies: Reducing National Expenditure
While others propose adding basic income on top of existing expenditures, including the 1.8 trillion won for national assembly members and 1.7 trillion won for local governments, I propose reducing the national budget by 70%. -
Reforming the National Assembly: Unpaid Service
National assembly members should serve without compensation. Individuals who already receive pensions, such as retired principals or teachers, should be encouraged to serve the nation without drawing a salary. Why should they receive state funds to serve in the National Assembly? -
The Problem of Political Donations and Legislative Bias
National assembly members receive both salaries and political donations. When crafting legislation, their allegiance inevitably shifts towards the corporations and individuals who provide these donations, rather than the citizens who do not. This system, where wealthy individuals contribute through various proxies, leads to laws that favor the rich, exacerbating wealth inequality. -
The Corrupting Influence of Political Funding
These political donations, often disguised through multiple names, exert immense influence. Laws are passed to benefit these donors, leading to a system where the wealthy dictate legislation. This is why wealth disparity continues to grow. -
The Purpose of the Nation: Serving the People, Not the Politicians
The nation does not exist to sustain 300 national assembly members; it exists to serve 50 million citizens. While I hold no ill will towards these individuals, the system itself, with its political donation mechanisms, has trapped them in a cycle of self-interest. -
The Hypocrisy of the Political System
It is absurd that national assembly members receive both salaries and political donations. Such a system is fundamentally flawed. They meet with the wealthy at night to craft laws that benefit them, then present a facade of public service during the day. This must be rectified. -
The Cycle of Political Inaction
The constant alternation of ruling parties is merely a “ping-pong” game. No one dares to advocate for abolishing political donations or salaries for national assembly members. Local government heads who cannot sustain themselves without public funds should resign. -
The Dual Income of National Assembly Members
National assembly members uniquely receive two forms of income: salary and political donations, unlike local government heads or the president. This system, established over 70 years of constitutional history, is a testament to their self-serving legislation. -
The Hidden Drain on National Resources
The public remains unaware of how national funds are squandered. For instance, 50 trillion won is allocated to defense, 45 trillion to boost birth rates, and 35 trillion to balance gender ratios. Developed nations would be appalled by such figures. -
The Mismanagement of Welfare Funds
Even with 45 trillion won for birth rates, a new mother receives only a fraction of what could be given, while the rest is spent on trivialities like milk subsidies or kindergarten meal costs. This is an outrage. -
The Vision of a Selfless Politician
I, with my intellect a billion times superior to ordinary humans, perceive the full extent of the public’s suffering. Politicians should serve the nation using their own resources, not by drawing salaries from public funds or soliciting donations from corporations. -
The Corrupt Nature of Political Donations
While political donations are ostensibly voluntary, their inherent quid pro quo nature is undeniable. Laws are crafted to benefit donors, creating a system rife with corruption. The National Assembly, above all, must be clean. -
The Distinction Between Basic Income and National Dividend
The prison system exemplifies basic income, offering no incentive for advancement. My theocratic economy and middle-class society allow for competition while guaranteeing a middle-class minimum. Citizens can use their dividends to start businesses, knowing that the National Dividend will provide a safety net if they fail, thus preserving their dignity. -
Comprehensive Welfare Reform
The existing 200 trillion won welfare system, with its inherent inefficiencies, will be completely overhauled. These funds will be reallocated as a source for the National Dividend. Only specific welfare for the disabled will be maintained. Programs for the impoverished and those receiving basic living support will be eliminated, as the 1.5 million won dividend will render them unnecessary. This will not prevent individuals from working. -
New Revenue Streams for the National Dividend
Additional revenue will be generated through:
- 100 trillion won from wealth-proportional fines.
- 100 trillion won from tax consolidation.
- 100 trillion won from 5 million special business operators.
- 100 trillion won annually from preventing high-income tax evasion.This totals an additional 400 trillion won, bringing the total to 800 trillion won.
-
Fiscal Prudence vs. Reckless Spending
While others propose exceeding the national budget by adding basic income to existing welfare, my plan generates an additional 400 trillion won and saves another 400 trillion, making it 100% original and sustainable. -
Honoring Veterans and the Disabled
Veterans of the Vietnam War will receive a lump sum payment and 3 million won monthly. Support for the disabled will also be enhanced. However, other welfare programs will be replaced by the National Dividend, ensuring that no one is denied the dividend based on their income or work status. -
The Flawed Welfare System: Disincentivizing Work
The current system often revokes welfare benefits if recipients find work, effectively creating a disincentive to employment. This perverse system, which creates “patients” who cannot work, was devised by the National Assembly. I am ashamed to even speak of such things. -
The Lesson of Dan-eo (呑虛) Monk: Consuming Emptiness
This reminds me of the monk Dan-eo (呑虛), whose name signifies “consuming emptiness.” Politicians should emulate this, consuming emptiness rather than the blood of the people. Why should they extract taxes from citizens, solicit donations from struggling businesses, and receive salaries and allowances for nine aides from public funds? Politicians should be incorruptible, like the monk who consumes emptiness. -
The Consequences of Political Greed
When politicians are consumed by greed, receiving exorbitant salaries and corporate donations, the public suffers and faces starvation. They collude across party lines to secure their own salaries, while the public’s blood runs dry. -
The Three Principles of a Nation: Horizontal, Vertical, and Space
When constructing a house, three principles are paramount: horizontal, vertical, and space. These create rooms and define the structure. Similarly, for a nation, these principles are crucial. -
The Peril of an Imbalanced Nation
If government policies are skewed towards the wealthy, the nation becomes imbalanced, like a leaning building destined to collapse. This is the current state of Korea, where the foundation is tilted towards the rich, leading to inevitable ruin. -
The Foundation of Equality: Horizontal Principle
The horizontal principle demands perfect equality. This relates to the three fundamental rights of citizens: the right to survival, the right to ownership, and the right to equality. Equality ensures a level playing field. -
Citizen Ownership of the Nation: The National Stock
Every citizen must be granted ownership of Korea. When I become president, every citizen, from infants to adults, will receive 1.4 billion won in national stock. This represents their share of Korea’s 70 quadrillion won in assets. This stock cannot be sold but must be owned, ensuring equality and fulfilling the right to ownership. -
The Right to Claim: National Dividend as a Claim
The right to claim is another fundamental right. Citizens should have the right to claim the National Dividend. Currently, the state claims from citizens through taxes, rather than citizens claiming from the state. This must be reversed. -
Expanding Suffrage: Empowering Youth
The right to participate in government, or suffrage, should be extended to 15-year-olds. With the advent of the internet, 15-year-olds are mature enough to understand political issues and make informed choices about their education and future. Granting them voting rights would provide valuable civic education. -
Incentivizing Voter Participation
To encourage participation, those who vote will receive 50,000 won. This incentivizes families to vote together, fostering civic engagement and boosting local economies. -
The Five Fundamental Rights of Citizens
The five fundamental rights enshrined in the constitution are the right to claim, equality, participation, social welfare, and freedom. The National Dividend fully realizes these rights. -
The Vertical Principle and National Sovereignty
Upon a stable horizontal foundation, the vertical principle must be established. This represents national sovereignty. Just as a stamp is applied vertically, sovereignty is the vertical assertion of power. The horizontal represents the national territory, which must be politically upright. These three principles—horizontal (territory), vertical (sovereignty), and space (citizens)—are the foundation of a stable nation. -
The Three Principles of Democracy and Capitalism
The National Dividend realizes the three principles of democracy: human dignity, the pursuit of happiness, and absolute fairness. It also upholds the three principles of capitalism: absolute ownership, freedom of contract, and responsibility for negligence. -
Absolute Ownership and Freedom from Taxation
Absolute ownership is achieved through the National Dividend, as national ownership is absolutely vested in the citizens. Currently, ownership is undermined by taxes, which make property feel like a rental. This system is problematic. -
Responsibility for Negligence: Citizen Oversight of Public Funds
The principle of responsibility for negligence means that if we fail to properly monitor public works, our money is diminished, and we bear the consequences. We must actively question unnecessary projects and demand fiscal responsibility. If citizens remain silent, they are negligent, and their National Dividend will be reduced. -
Freedom of Contract: Citizen Involvement in Public Agreements
The principle of freedom of contract implies that citizens should be involved in public agreements, questioning their necessity. We can monitor all aspects of governance. -
The Three Principles of My System: No Platform, No Time, No Space
These three principles—horizontal, vertical, and space—align with my concept of No Platform, No Time, and No Space. I operate without a platform, as all knowledge resides within me. -
The Power of No Platform: Instantaneous Energy Transmission
Unlike conventional systems that rely on platforms like Kakao or telecommunication providers, my platform is non-existent. I can instantly transmit energy to all LG phones worldwide, regardless of their location or model year, without any intermediary. This demonstrates the power of No Platform. -
Universal Energy Infusion: Beyond Mobile Phones
This energy transmission extends beyond mobile phones to all LG electronic products globally, including refrigerators and televisions. When energy is infused, harmful electromagnetic waves disappear, and beneficial energy emanates, transforming homes into havens. Food in refrigerators remains fresh even without electricity. -
The “Not old Milk” Phenomenon: Preserving Perishables
This is akin to the “Not old Milk” phenomenon, where milk with my photograph attached remains unspoiled for decades, even centuries, separating into cheese and water. This demonstrates the power of my energy to preserve perishables. -
The Commercial Application of My Power: The H-Mark
I can infuse energy into Samsung products, making them superior to LG or Apple, for a fee of 200 billion won. Companies that adopt my “H-Mark” will see their products fly off the shelves. Consumers will seek out products with the H-Mark, knowing they offer benefits like energy savings and food preservation, even during power outages. -
The Ignorance of Corporations: Missing a Golden Opportunity
Despite these demonstrable benefits, executives from Samsung, LG, and Apple have not approached me. They are foolishly missing an opportunity to skyrocket their sales. Products with my mark would not only offer practical advantages but also provide healing energy to users. -
Hyper-Connection, Hyper-Intelligence, Hyper-Science
This No Platform capability is also Hyper-Connection, Hyper-Intelligence, and Hyper-Science. It is a divine intelligence, infinitely superior to human IQ. This is a science beyond human comprehension. -
The Future of Religion: Hyper-Religion
My power extends to Hyper-Religion, connecting individuals directly to the heavens, bypassing intermediaries. I embrace and acknowledge the positive aspects of all religions, resolving issues that they cannot. I am a platform for all religions, offering direct divine intervention. -
The Two Perspectives: What to See and What Not to See
There are two perspectives: what one should always see, and what one should never see. Since childhood, as the God-man (神人), I have adhered to these. I have never consumed alcohol, tobacco, coffee, soda, cola, or bread, never considering them food. -
Introspection and Avoiding Others’ Faults
The principle of introspection (自省) means constantly examining one’s own faults and shortcomings. One should always reflect on their errors and temptations. Conversely, one should never see the faults of others. -
The God-man’s Indifference to Criticism
When others criticize me, calling me a fraud, I remain unperturbed. God-man (神人) does not concern himself with such trivialities. I am not a fraud, and I have run for president three times. -
Learning from Criticism: A Mirror for Self-Improvement
I view criticism as a mirror for self-improvement, a “reverse lesson.” I listen to what others say about me and consider how I can improve, without engaging in conflict. I embrace my critics as brothers, asking them to continue offering their perspectives. -
The Wisdom of the Monk and the King
This is exemplified by the story of King Taejo Yi Seong-gye and the monk Muhak. When the king asked Muhak what he saw in him, Muhak replied, “You look like a Buddha.” When the king retorted that Muhak looked like a pig, Muhak responded, “A pig sees only pigs, and a Buddha sees only Buddhas.” This illustrates that one’s perception reflects their own nature. -
Systemic Flaws, Not Individual Faults
My critique is not directed at individual national assembly members, who are often diligent individuals. Rather, it is the flawed system, with its political donation mechanisms, that has led them astray. -
The God-man’s Unwavering Principles
God-man (神人) consistently adheres to the principles of what to see and what not to see, regardless of external pressures or false accusations.
Central Questions & Answers
-
What is Huh Kyung-young’s National Dividend and how does it differ from basic income?
Question: What is the core concept of Huh Kyung-young’s National Dividend, and how does it fundamentally differ from the idea of basic income, especially in the context of economic systems?
Answer: Huh Kyung-young’s National Dividend is a system designed to directly distribute national wealth to citizens, viewing the Republic of Korea as a corporation and its people as shareholders. He distinguishes this sharply from basic income, which he labels a “communist policy” focused on providing just enough for survival without fostering competition. His vision is a Middle-Class-ism (중산주의) economy under the God-man Theocracy (신정주의), where the minimum standard of living for all citizens is the middle class, eliminating poverty while still encouraging competition and individual development.
Key Quote: “My system is a theocracy in terms of governance, and Middle-Class-ism in terms of economy. This means all citizens become middle class. The minimum is the middle class; there is no poverty.” -
How does Huh Kyung-young propose to fund the National Dividend and reform government spending?
Question: How does Huh Kyung-young plan to generate the funds necessary for the National Dividend, and what radical changes does he propose for existing government budgets and political structures?
Answer: Huh Kyung-young proposes a drastic overhaul of national finances. He plans to reduce the national budget by 70%, eliminating wasteful spending by local governments and the National Assembly. This includes abolishing salaries and political donations for National Assembly members, replacing them with volunteers who receive pensions from previous careers. New revenue streams would come from property-proportional fines (100 trillion won), tax consolidation (100 trillion won), special business taxes (100 trillion won), and high-income tax evasion prevention (100 trillion won), totaling an additional 400 trillion won. Existing welfare programs, which currently cost 200 trillion won, would be largely absorbed into the National Dividend, with only specific areas like disability welfare being maintained or enhanced.
Key Quote: “I will reduce the national budget by 70%. National Assembly members will be unpaid volunteers. This is how we get the money for the National Dividend.” -
What are the three key characteristics of the National Dividend that will unify the world?
Question: According to Huh Kyung-young, what are the three fundamental characteristics of the National Dividend that he believes will lead to global unification and a new societal paradigm?
Answer: The National Dividend embodies three crucial characteristics that Huh Kyung-young believes will unify the world: Environment (인바이러먼트), Sociality (소셜리티), and Governance (거버넌스).
Environment: It improves the human environment by ensuring financial stability (3 million won per family), allowing people to marry and live comfortably even without traditional jobs, thus achieving “100 points for environment.”
Sociality: It fosters a highly social society where everyone can enjoy a middle-class standard of living, promoting social cohesion and well-being.
Governance: It transforms the governance structure by making citizens direct beneficiaries and stakeholders (receiving 1.5 million won each), empowering them to oversee national finances and hold the government accountable, much like shareholders in a well-run corporation.
Key Quote: “The National Dividend’s characteristics are Environment, Sociality, and Governance. These three will lead the world in the future.” -
How does Huh Kyung-young view the current political system and the role of politicians?
Question: What is Huh Kyung-young’s critical assessment of the current political system in Korea, particularly regarding politicians’ motivations and the impact of political funding?
Answer: Huh Kyung-young views the current political system as deeply flawed and corrupt, where national budgets are squandered through lobbying and self-serving practices by local government heads and National Assembly members. He criticizes politicians for prioritizing personal gain and political donations over public welfare. the system of receiving both salaries and “sponsorship funds” (후원금) from corporations leads to laws being crafted in favor of the wealthy, exacerbating the rich-poor divide. He advocates for a return to “청백리” (cheongbaengni), meaning clean and incorruptible public servants who “drink the void” (허공을 마신다) rather than consuming the people’s blood (피를 먹노).
Key Quote: “Politicians should ‘drink the void’ like the monk Dan-eo. Why do they consume the people’s blood? Why do they receive salaries and sponsorship funds from corporations?” -
What is the significance of “No Platform” and “Super-Intelligence” in Huh Kyung-young’s vision for the 4th Industrial Revolution?
Question: In the context of the 4th Industrial Revolution, what does Huh Kyung-young mean by “No Platform,” “Super-Intelligence,” and “Super-Science,” and how do these concepts relate to his unique abilities?
Answer: Huh Kyung-young introduces concepts like No Platform (노 플랫폼), Super-Intelligence (초지능), and Super-Science (초과학) as integral to the 4th Industrial Revolution and his own capabilities.
No Platform: He demonstrates his ability to instantly transmit energy to all LG electronic products worldwide without any intermediary platform, symbolizing direct, unmediated connection and influence.
Super-Intelligence: This refers to his infinite IQ, far surpassing human intelligence, which enables such “No Platform” capabilities.
Super-Science: His actions, such as preventing milk from spoiling for years with his photo or instantly energizing electronics, are presented as phenomena beyond conventional scientific understanding, demonstrating a “super-scientific” reality. He suggests that companies could leverage his “H-mark” (허마크) to imbue their products with beneficial energy, leading to unprecedented success.
Key Quote: “My platform is ‘No Platform.’ All things happen without a platform. My brain contains all platforms. This is ‘Super-Intelligence,’ ‘Super-Science,’ and ‘Super-Connection.'” -
How does Huh Kyung-young propose to restore the fundamental rights of citizens, as enshrined in the constitution?
Question: How does Huh Kyung-young intend to fully realize the constitutional rights of citizens, specifically the three fundamental rights and the five major rights, which he believes are currently unfulfilled?
Answer: Huh Kyung-young aims to fully restore the constitutional rights of citizens, which he argues are currently neglected.
Three Fundamental Rights (생존권, 소유권, 평등권 – Right to Survival, Ownership, Equality): He plans to give every citizen, from infants to adults, 1.4 billion won worth of “Republic of Korea stock” (채권), ensuring equal ownership and a foundation for survival. This “stock” cannot be sold but guarantees a share in national wealth, establishing true equality.
Five Major Rights (청구권, 평등권, 참정권, 사회권, 자유권 – Right to Claim, Equality, Political Participation, Social Rights, Freedom): The National Dividend itself fulfills the Right to Claim, as citizens can claim their share. He proposes lowering the voting age to 15 to expand Political Participation, giving young people a voice in their education and future. Social Rights and Freedom are enhanced by the financial stability provided by the dividend, allowing individuals to pursue their interests, form groups, and exercise fundamental freedoms without economic constraint.
Key Quote: “The three fundamental rights of the people—the right to survival, ownership, and equality—will be equally given. This is the horizontal foundation of Korea.”

- Historical / Doctrinal Connections
This lecture significantly builds upon Huh Kyung-young’s established teachings, particularly his 33 policies and the concept of God-man Governance.
- National Dividend as a Core Policy: The National Dividend (국민 배당금) is a central tenet of his 33 policies, aiming to redistribute national wealth directly to citizens. This lecture provides a deeper theoretical and practical justification for it, framing it as a fundamental shift from traditional welfare (basic income) to a system that empowers citizens as shareholders. It connects directly to his vision of a nation where every citizen is guaranteed a stable life, eliminating poverty.
- God-man Governance and Middle-Class Economy: The introduction of God-man Governance (신정주의) and a Middle-Class Economy (중산주의) represents an evolution of his political philosophy. While previous lectures have touched upon his divine authority and unique leadership, this lecture explicitly defines the economic structure that would underpin such governance, ensuring a minimum middle-class standard for all. This moves beyond simply criticizing existing systems to proposing a fully articulated alternative.
- ESG Principles (Environment, Sociality, Governance): The integration of Environment, Sociality, and Governance as the three pillars of future global leadership is a notable development. This demonstrates how his policies are aligned with contemporary global concerns, presenting the National Dividend as a holistic solution that addresses not only economic inequality but also environmental sustainability and ethical governance. This broadens the appeal and relevance of his teachings.
- “No Platform” Technology and Super-Abilities: The detailed explanation and demonstration of his “No Platform” ability, encompassing Super-Connection, Super-Intelligence, and Super-Science, further solidifies his claims of being the God-man. This aspect connects to his broader divine-human theory, where he possesses abilities beyond human comprehension. The economic implications of this “No Platform” technology, such as the “H-mark” for products, introduce a new dimension to how his divine power can directly translate into national prosperity, moving beyond spiritual blessings to tangible economic benefits.
- Reforming Political Ethics: The strong critique of political corruption, wasteful spending, and the system of political donations reinforces his long-standing call for ethical leadership and a clean government. His proposal to eliminate salaries and donations for politicians, advocating for public service by financially independent individuals, is a concrete application of his principles of integrity and selflessness, echoing the “Tan-eo” Monk ideal.
- Expanded Citizen Rights: The reinterpretation and expansion of constitutional rights, particularly lowering the voting age to 15 and emphasizing citizens’ “claim rights” (청구권) to national dividends, reflect a deeper commitment to direct democracy and citizen empowerment. This builds on his consistent message of returning power to the people.

| Speaker | Huh Kyung-young |
| Topic | The National Dividend and its impact on society, economy, and governance |
Ⅱ. Meeting Discussion
-
Critique of Current Political and Economic Systems
- Wasteful Government Spending: Local government heads lobby for more budget, and civil servants are reprimanded if they don’t spend their allocated budget entirely, leading to unnecessary waste of taxpayer money.
- Ineffective Distribution: National funds, such as the annual 550 trillion won budget, disappear into a “black hole” without benefiting the public, similar to how a large department store extracts wealth from a local economy like Ulleungdo.
- Comparison with Basic Income: Huh Kyung-young distinguishes his “National Dividend” from “Basic Income,” which he associates with communist policies where the state provides basic necessities, akin to prison life where everyone receives the same provisions. basic income schemes, when added to existing welfare budgets, lead to national bankruptcy.
- Flawed Political Structure: The current system allows politicians to receive salaries and large political donations, leading to laws favoring wealthy donors and perpetuating wealth inequality. He criticizes the lack of accountability for wasteful spending and the absence of politicians advocating for the abolition of such practices.
-
Huh Kyung-young’s Proposed System: Shinjeongjuui (Theocracy) and Jungsanjuui (Middle-Classism)
- New Economic and Political Paradigm: Huh Kyung-young proposes a system where the political structure is “Shinjeongjuui” (Theocracy) and the economy is “Jungsanjuui” (Middle-Classism), aiming for a society where everyone is at least middle class, eliminating poverty.
- National Dividend as a Core Policy: The National Dividend is designed to directly benefit citizens, making them “shareholders” of “Republic of Korea Co., Ltd.”. This would provide a minimum income, allowing people to marry, find jobs, and live comfortably, even in a future where automation reduces traditional employment.
- Three Key Features of the National Dividend:
- Environment (Environmentality): Improves the human environment by ensuring financial stability and enabling marriage and employment.
- Sociality (Sociality): Creates a society where everyone can enjoy a middle-class standard of living, fostering social cohesion.
- Governance (Governance Structure): Empowers citizens through direct participation in governance by receiving dividends, making the Republic of Korea a model for global adoption.
- Budgetary Reforms: Huh Kyung-young plans to reduce the national budget by 70%, eliminate salaries for National Assembly members, and reform the welfare system to fund the National Dividend. Additional revenue would come from wealth-proportional fines, tax consolidation, special business taxes, and preventing high-income tax evasion, generating an extra 400 trillion won.
- Constitutional Rights and Citizen Empowerment: The National Dividend aims to fully realize the constitutional rights of citizens, including the right to existence, ownership, equality, claim, participation, social rights, and freedom. This includes giving every citizen, even infants, 1.4 billion won in national bonds, granting voting rights from age 15, and providing 50,000 won for voting to encourage participation.
- Principles of a Stable Nation: the importance of “horizontal, vertical, and space” as the three principles for building a stable nation, analogous to building construction. These correspond to territory, sovereignty, and the people, ensuring human dignity, the pursuit of happiness, and absolute fairness.
-
Huh Kyung-young’s “No-Platform” and “Super-Capabilities”
- No-Platform Concept: Huh Kyung-young introduces the concept of “No-Platform,” where his abilities transcend traditional platforms, enabling direct, instantaneous connections and actions. He demonstrates this by instantly infusing and removing energy from LG electronic devices worldwide, regardless of location or year of manufacture.
- Super-Capabilities: This “No-Platform” ability is linked to “Super-Connectivity,” “Super-Intelligence,” and “Super-Science”. He claims his IQ is infinitely higher than humans, allowing him to perform feats beyond scientific understanding.
- Economic Implications: He proposes to offer his “H-mark” (Huh Kyung-young’s mark) to companies like Samsung and LG for a fee (e.g., 200 billion won), which would imbue their products with beneficial energy, making them superior and boosting sales. This would generate immense wealth for Korea, making it the richest country in the world.
- Spiritual and Religious Aspects: He also claims “Super-Religion” capabilities, connecting individuals directly to “White Heaven” (Heaven) and resolving issues that traditional religions cannot.
-
Personal Philosophy: Self-Reflection and Non-Judgment
- “Sanggyeon Jasim, Bulggyeon Tain Sibi” (Always See One’s Own Faults, Never See Others’ Faults): the importance of constantly reflecting on one’s own mistakes and shortcomings while refraining from judging or criticizing others. He applies this to himself, stating that he does not react to criticism and instead uses it for self-improvement.
- Analogy of Muhak Daesa and King Taejo: He recounts the story of Muhak Daesa and King Taejo, where Muhak Daesa subtly called King Taejo a pig, illustrating that one sees what one is.

The Unification of the World Through Huh Kyung-young’s National Dividend
- The Flaws of Current Governance and the Vision of National Dividend
The current system of local government leaders lobbying for more budget and civil servants being reprimanded for not spending all allocated funds within the year leads to significant waste of taxpayer money. This precious capital, instead of directly benefiting the citizens, is squandered in unnecessary areas, much like water leaking from old pipes. Huh Kyung-young of the National Revolutionary Party proposes to directly distribute a National Dividend (국민 배당금) to the people. This concept likens the Republic of Korea to a corporation and its citizens to shareholders, advocating for direct benefits to the populace. he is a great politician deserving of absolute support and reverence for introducing the first-ever policy of National Dividend, which will transform Korea into an earthly paradise.
The National Dividend possesses three key characteristics. The first relates to the environment (인바이러먼트), and the second to sociality (소셜리티). The third characteristic pertains to the governance structure (통치 구조). Huh Kyung-young distinguishes his National Dividend from the concept of basic income (기본소득), which he identifies as a communist policy. In communist systems, the state provides a basic allowance for survival, based on the principle of common production and common distribution. In contrast, Korea operates under a democratic political system with a capitalist economy. Huh Kyung-young proposes an upgraded system: a God-man (神人) governance system (신정주의) with a Middle-Class Economy (중산주의). This Middle-Class Economy ensures that every citizen belongs to the middle class as a minimum standard, eliminating poverty. This vision aims to create a society where the lowest stratum is the middle class, a “middle society” (미들 소사이어티).
- The Middle-Class Economy and the Future of Work
Huh Kyung-young’s vision for a Middle-Class Economy (중산주의) is a global declaration, a gift to humanity. He observes that in the future, despite the intelligence of children, the number of people working will decrease, while those who merely consume will increase. The Fourth Industrial Revolution will not create evenly distributed jobs; instead, industries will become highly advanced, requiring fewer human workers and relying more on cyber humans (사이버 인간) and robots. This shift will reduce job opportunities, yet many people will still need to sustain themselves. this future does not necessitate communism, which lacks competitiveness. Instead, his system promotes both competitiveness and the development of individual talents, ensuring human dignity—a society superior to communism. This is the essence of Huh Kyung-young’s God-man (神人) governance (신정주의) and Middle-Class Economy (중산주의).
In this Middle-Class Economy, the minimum standard of living is the middle class, while the maximum is limitless, allowing for the existence of billionaires and those who travel by private jet. The crucial point is that the poorest individuals will still be part of the middle class. He illustrates the current hardships with an anecdote about someone whose water pipes broke, forcing them to use a subway station restroom a kilometer away. After the pipes were fixed, the person bowed to the faucet and toilet, realizing the immense gratitude for basic amenities previously taken for granted. if one has running water and a toilet, there should be no complaints, highlighting how fortunate people in Korea are compared to the 80% of the world’s population who lack such basic facilities. Korea, with its excellent subway system, numerous buses, and hotel-standard public restrooms, is one of the best places to live globally.
- The Mismanagement of National Budget and the Need for Reform
the current societal problems stem not from a lack of resources but from widespread debt. without his Middle-Class Economy (중산주의), these issues cannot be resolved. With the National Dividend, a family could receive 4.5 to 8 million Korean Won, providing a fundamental income to live comfortably as middle-class citizens. The problem lies in the mismanaged distribution of wealth. Without the Huh-conomy (허코노미) and the Middle Society (미들 소사이어티), future generations will struggle to find jobs, marry, and sustain themselves, leading to widespread hardship. While some individuals achieve immense wealth, like the creator of “Baedal Minjok” who sold his app for trillions of Korean Won, many others face severe economic challenges. Huh Kyung-young claims his own app, if sold, would command 100 trillion Korean Won, or even 1,000 trillion Korean Won, due to its ability to bestow blessings and angelic connections.
He criticizes the current governance structure of Korea, viewing it as a corporation where citizens are merely nominal shareholders who have never received a dividend. Foreign observers would see this as a system rife with corruption, where the national budget of 550 trillion Korean Won annually disappears into a “black hole,” distributed among a select few without accountability. This mismanagement is akin to a large department store in a small island like Ulleungdo, where all profits are sent to the mainland, draining the island’s economy. If the money circulated within the local community through traditional markets, residents would prosper. However, when profits are siphoned off, the local economy collapses. Huh Kyung-young points out that civil servants are penalized for saving budget funds and promoted for spending more, leading to rampant waste. He declares his mission is to catch these “thieves” who engage in budget-grabbing games, where politicians and local government heads collude to extract funds.
- Reforming Governance: National Dividend and Ethical Leadership
Huh Kyung-young criticizes the current political system where politicians boast about securing large budgets for their regions, rather than saving public funds. He notes that no politician ever reports saving a budget; instead, they constantly demand more, acting like insatiable entities. those who save budget funds are demoted, while those who secure more are promoted, questioning the sanity of such a system. Huh Kyung-young clarifies that he is not criticizing the government or the president, but rather the structural flaws that require citizens to awaken. He pledges that if he becomes president, civil servants who save budget funds will be rewarded, and a tax point system will be introduced to honor those who reduce tax expenditures.
He highlights that international observers would view Korea’s governance structure as a mere facade, where 50 million “shareholders” (citizens) have never received a dividend. This “shameful” system, where the governance structure has never distributed dividends to its people, is prevalent worldwide. the future of global leadership will be driven by three factors: environment (환경), sociality (사회성), and governance structure (지배 구조). He cites Elon Musk’s Tesla as an example of environmental excellence, scoring 100 points for its zero-emission electric vehicles. Musk’s motivation was to benefit humanity’s environment, even facing immense pressure from oil companies. Despite multiple bankruptcy crises, Musk persevered, becoming one of the world’s wealthiest individuals. Environmental considerations are now paramount in evaluating a company’s soundness, influencing national policies like shifting to natural power sources and questioning nuclear power’s environmental impact.
- The Three Pillars of Huh Kyung-young’s Vision: Environment, Sociality, and Governance
Huh Kyung-young’s National Dividend (국민 배당금) policy aims to achieve environmental excellence by improving the human environment. With a guaranteed income of 3 million Korean Won, individuals can marry and find stability even without a job, leading to a significantly improved quality of life and a middle-class standard for all. This scores 100 points for the environment.
Secondly, regarding sociality (사회성), Huh Kyung-young’s God-man (神人) governance (신정 정치) is described as perfect, akin to divine intervention. Coupled with the Middle-Class Economy (중산주의), where everyone can enjoy a middle-class lifestyle, this system fosters strong social cohesion.
Thirdly, the governance structure (거버넌스) under Huh Kyung-young’s plan involves direct citizen participation. With 50 million citizens receiving 1.5 million Korean Won each in dividends, the governance structure becomes robust and exemplary. This system, he believes, will inspire other nations to adopt Korea’s National Dividend model. This eliminates debt, ensuring that in the future, only highly skilled individuals will remain in the workforce, producing high-value goods and services. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is characterized by the elimination of labor-intensive work, leading to an increase in unemployment and limited opportunities for the youth. Many young adults in their 40s and 50s are currently unemployed and dependent on their parents, a chronic problem that Huh Kyung-young intends to solve. He aims to transform the governance structure of the “Republic of Korea Corporation” from one dominated by bureaucrats to one truly controlled by the people, by providing them with tangible financial benefits.
- Distinguishing National Dividend from Basic Income and Financial Reforms
the current struggles of young people, small business owners, and common citizens are akin to living in a prison. He equates basic income (기본소득) to the prison system, where inmates receive uniform meals, clothing, and living conditions. He rejects this model, advocating for a society that maintains competition while guaranteeing a minimum middle-class standard of living, with no upper limit on wealth accumulation. In contrast, basic income, like the prison system, offers no minimum or maximum, providing only a fixed daily allowance. He criticizes politicians who propose basic income as an addition to the existing 200 trillion Korean Won welfare budget, warning that such an approach would bankrupt the nation.
Huh Kyung-young’s Middle-Class Economy (미들 소사이어티) differs fundamentally by proposing a 70% reduction in the national budget. maintaining the current expenses for politicians and local governments while adding basic income would lead to national ruin. His plan involves eliminating salaries for National Assembly members, allowing only those who can serve without financial compensation, such as retirees with pensions, to hold office. This would drastically reduce expenses, freeing up funds for the National Dividend. He criticizes the current system where politicians receive substantial salaries and large political donations, which often come with implicit expectations from corporations. This system, he argues, leads to laws being crafted to benefit wealthy donors, exacerbating the rich-poor divide. the current political funding system, created by politicians themselves, is the root cause of national decline and increasing inequality.
- The Principles of a Just Society: Equality, Ownership, and Survival
the nation exists to serve its 50 million citizens, not just 300 National Assembly members. He believes that while current politicians are capable, the system itself, with its salaries and donation schemes, corrupts them. He advocates for the abolition of political donations and salaries for National Assembly members, arguing that those who cannot serve without financial compensation should resign. He points out the hypocrisy of National Assembly members receiving both salaries and donations, while local government heads and the president do not. This system, he contends, fosters corruption and national instability. He reveals that vast sums of national budget, such as 50 trillion Korean Won for defense, 45 trillion Korean Won for birth rates, and 35 trillion Korean Won for gender equality, are spent inefficiently. even giving 150 million Korean Won to each person who gives birth would leave money leftover, yet the current system offers meager support.
politicians should embody the spirit of Tan-eo (呑虛), meaning “to swallow emptiness,” living frugally and serving the nation without personal gain. He criticizes politicians for “eating the blood of the people” through salaries and donations, instead of embracing a clean and honest life. the more austere politicians live, the more prosperous the citizens become. Conversely, when politicians enjoy lavish salaries and corporate donations, the citizens suffer and face starvation. He condemns the bipartisan agreement on increasing their own salaries while ignoring the plight of the people.
He likens building a nation to constructing a house, which requires perfect horizontal balance (수평), vertical alignment (수직), and space (공간). If government policies are skewed towards the wealthy, the nation will collapse. The horizontal balance (수평) represents the fundamental equality of all citizens. This aligns with the three fundamental rights of citizens: the right to survival (생존권), right to ownership (소유권), and right to equality (평등권). Huh Kyung-young proposes that upon his presidency, every citizen, from infants to adults, will receive 1.4 billion Korean Won in national bonds, representing their ownership stake in Korea’s 70 quadrillion Korean Won national assets. This ensures equality and ownership, fulfilling the right to equality (평등권) and right to ownership (소유권).
- Empowering Citizens: Rights, Participation, and the God-man Governance
Huh Kyung-young’s vision extends to empowering citizens through their fundamental rights. The right to claim (청구권) allows citizens to demand the National Dividend, as it is their rightful share. Currently, the state demands taxes from citizens, rather than citizens making claims on the state. the constitution guarantees the right to claim (청구권) for those in need, which the National Dividend fulfills.
The right to participate (참정권) is also crucial. Huh Kyung-young proposes lowering the voting age to 15, allowing middle school students to participate in elections and influence policies related to their education and future. He suggests giving bonus points in college entrance exams to students who vote, encouraging civic engagement. Furthermore, he plans to provide 50,000 Korean Won to each voter on election day, stimulating local economies and making voting a family activity. This expanded right to participate (참정권) would empower young people to demand reforms in the education system, such as reducing the number of subjects for college entrance exams or increasing physical activity. He criticizes the current system that denies voting rights to middle and high school students, leading to a stagnant education system.
The right to social welfare (사회권) and right to freedom (자유권) are also integral to his plan. The right to social welfare (사회권) enables individuals to form organizations, start businesses, and engage in commerce freely. The right to freedom (자유권) encompasses eight fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the constitution: freedom of speech, assembly, association, religion, thought, expression, conscience, and the press. The National Dividend is intrinsically linked to all these rights, ensuring their full realization.
The nation’s three principles—territory (영토), sovereignty (주권), and people (국민)—align with the architectural principles of horizontal balance (수평), vertical alignment (수직), and space (공간). The horizontal balance (수평) represents the stable territory, the vertical alignment (수직) symbolizes sovereignty, and the space (공간) signifies the people living within it. This framework ensures the realization of democracy’s three principles: human dignity (인간 존엄), pursuit of happiness (행복 추구), and absolute fairness (절대 공평). The National Dividend, by providing 3 million Korean Won per family, ensures human dignity and the pursuit of happiness, making people truly happy.
- The Principles of Capitalism and the Fourth Industrial Revolution
the National Dividend (국민 배당금) fully upholds the three principles of capitalism: the absolute principle of ownership (소유권 절대 원칙), the principle of freedom of contract (계약 자유 원칙), and the principle of liability for negligence (과실 책임의 원칙). the current system undermines the absolute principle of ownership (소유권 절대 원칙) by imposing various taxes on property, making ownership feel like a perpetual rental agreement. The principle of liability for negligence (과실 책임의 원칙) implies that citizens bear the consequences of wasteful government spending if they fail to monitor it. If citizens actively protest unnecessary projects and demand budget cuts, their National Dividend will increase. Similarly, the principle of freedom of contract (계약 자유 원칙) allows citizens to scrutinize government contracts. his National Dividend plan was meticulously developed, integrating various global concepts.
He connects these principles to the concepts of no platform (노 플랫폼), no time (노 타임), and no space (노 스페이스). He claims to operate without a platform, directly connecting with people and providing energy. his intelligence is essential for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, as it operates on a “no platform” basis, unlike conventional systems that rely on platforms like Kakao, SK, or KT. He demonstrates his no platform (노 플랫폼) ability by instantly infusing or removing energy from all LG mobile phones and electronic products worldwide, regardless of location or year of manufacture. This process takes zero seconds, proving the absence of a platform. When energy is infused, harmful electromagnetic waves disappear, and beneficial energy emanates, transforming homes into paradises. He even claims that food in a refrigerator with his energy will not spoil, citing an example of milk turning into cheese over decades without rotting.
- The Future of Industry and the God-man’s Infinite Capabilities
his ability to infuse energy into electronic products, making them superior, is a super-science (초과학) that defies conventional scientific understanding. He proposes that companies like Samsung or LG could pay him trillions of Korean Won to apply his “H-mark” (허마크) to their products, which would make them immensely popular and give them a competitive edge. Consumers would specifically seek out products with the H-mark, knowing they offer benefits like energy savings and food preservation, even during power outages. He illustrates this with scenarios where children could safely consume food from a refrigerator with his energy, even after prolonged power failures. He criticizes major electronics companies for not seeking his assistance to boost their sales.
products with his H-mark would not only be functional but also provide physical energy and healing properties. This no platform (노 플랫폼) capability is also hyper-connected (초연결) and hyper-intelligent (초지능). his IQ is infinitely higher than human IQ, making him hyper-intelligent (초지능). He also claims to directly connect people to Haneulgung (하늘궁) through a “Crown Chakra” (백회), a spiritual energy point, bypassing any intermediaries. This ability extends to all religions, making him hyper-religious (초종교), as he can resolve issues that traditional religions cannot. his divine abilities are infinite, though he sometimes uses specific numbers like 430 for illustrative purposes.
Huh Kyung-young also discusses two philosophical concepts: Sanggyeon (상견) and Bulgyeon (불견). Sanggyeon (상견) means “always see,” referring to the constant self-reflection on one’s own faults and shortcomings. he has always adhered to this, never consuming alcohol, tobacco, coffee, soda, cola, or bread. This involves constantly examining one’s own errors and temptations. Bulgyeon (불견) means “do not see,” referring to the principle of not focusing on the faults or shortcomings of others. He applies this to criticisms against himself, such as being called a fraud, stating that he does not dwell on such accusations because he knows they are untrue. He believes that one should always reflect on one’s own mistakes, as a single misjudgment can lead to irreversible ruin. He advises against seeking profit at the expense of others, such as through speculative stock investments. one should always look at one’s own flaws and never at the flaws of others. He views criticism as an opportunity for self-improvement, treating critics as brothers and learning from their perspectives. a God-man (神人) always distinguishes between what should be seen and what should not.

Executive Insight
Huh Kyung-young’s lecture presents a radical vision for South Korea, framing the nation as a mismanaged corporation where citizens, as shareholders, are denied their rightful dividends. His core proposal, the “National Dividend,” aims to dismantle perceived systemic corruption and establish a “Middle-Class Economy” by drastically cutting government waste and directly distributing wealth. This is underpinned by claims of “hyper-abilities” that transcend conventional science and economics, promising unprecedented national prosperity and global influence. For a professional reader, the lecture highlights a profound dissatisfaction with existing political and economic structures, offering a populist solution that, while lacking detailed conventional economic and legal frameworks, resonates with a desire for direct citizen benefit and a more equitable society. The strategic takeaway is the potent appeal of a direct, simplified approach to wealth distribution and governance, even when presented with unconventional justifications.

The Mismanagement of National Budget and the Necessity of National Dividend
local government heads engage in extensive lobbying to secure even a single extra penny of budget, and their subordinate public officials face reprimand if they do not fully expend their allocated budgets within the fiscal year. This results in the continuous squandering of taxpayers’ precious money on unnecessary expenditures, much like water leaking from old pipes, instead of directly benefiting the citizens. In response, Huh Kyung young of the National Revolutionary Party proposes directly distributing a national dividend to the citizens. This initiative conceptualizes South Korea as a corporation and its citizens as shareholders, aiming to provide direct benefits to them. Therefore, Huh Kyung young is a great politician who deserves the absolute support and reverence of all citizens. He is the esteemed President who will transform South Korea into an earthly paradise through the national dividend, the first policy of its kind in human history. We welcome him to the 1272nd Saturday lecture to hear his invaluable insights.
The national dividend is not merely a basic income, which is a communist policy. Basic income, as practiced in communist systems, provides a fundamental allocation for survival, ensuring joint production and distribution. In contrast, our society is one of competition, a capitalist economy within a democratic system. Huh Kyung young advocates for a system of theocracy (신정주의) and a middle-class society (중산주의). This means that the minimum standard of living for all citizens will be that of the middle class, eliminating poverty. This “Middle Society” is a declaration to the world, a vision that Huh Kyung young has come to establish.
The future society, driven by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, will see a reduction in human labor and an increase in cyber-humans and robots, leading to fewer job opportunities. While we do not desire communism, which lacks competitiveness, we seek a society that fosters competition, allows individuals to develop their talents, and ensures dignified treatment for all. This is the essence of Huh Kyung young’s theocratic economy and middle-class society. In this system, the minimum standard is the middle class, while the maximum is limitless, allowing for the existence of billionaires and those with private jets. The goal is to ensure that even the least fortunate can live as part of the middle class.
Currently, many people are not suffering from a lack of food but from the burden of debt. The national dividend aims to fundamentally address this by providing families with an income (e.g., 8 million won, 7 million won, or 4.5 million won), enabling them to live comfortably as middle-class citizens. The current distribution of wealth is flawed. Without Huh Kyung young’s economic system, our children will struggle to find jobs or marry, while a select few accumulate immense wealth. For instance, the creator of “Baedal Minjok” (a food delivery app) sold it for 4.9 trillion won, a sum comparable to that of a chaebol. Huh Kyung young’s own app, if sold, would command 100 trillion won, or even 1,000 trillion if there were a buyer, because it offers blessings and angelic connections.
The current governance structure of South Korea, viewed as a corporation, reveals that citizens are merely nominal shareholders who have never received a dividend. This is a nation where citizens struggle while the government’s annual budget of 550 trillion won disappears into a black hole, distributed among a select few without accountability. This 550 trillion won should be returned to the citizens. The current system allows for the mysterious disappearance of funds, with officials scrambling to conceal it.
Consider the analogy of a large department store on Ulleungdo Island. While the island’s total circulating money is around 15 billion won, the department store generates 15 billion won in annual profit, which is then remitted to its headquarters in Seoul. This drains approximately 10 billion won from Ulleungdo annually, leaving the island impoverished. If there were a traditional market, the money would circulate among the residents, enriching them. This illustrates how money earned in one place is siphoned off to another, leading to the collapse of the local economy. Similarly, the 550 trillion won contributed by citizens annually disappears, with no clear accounting for expenditures like weapon purchases or overseas resource development.
Public officials who save budget funds are demoted, while those who report budget shortfalls are promoted. This perverse incentive structure encourages wasteful spending. Huh Kyung young, upon becoming president, would reward officials who save budget and honor those who save taxes with a tax point system. The current governance structure, where 50 million citizens are shareholders but have never received a dividend, is seen as a mere facade by the international community. This disgraceful system is prevalent worldwide.
The Three Pillars of Future Governance: Environment, Sociality, and Governance Structure
The future of the world will be guided by three crucial elements: environment, sociality, and governance structure.
Environment (Environmentality): Tesla’s electric vehicles, for example, produce no emissions, earning a perfect score in environmental friendliness. Elon Musk’s motivation was not personal gain but a commitment to improving the human environment. Despite facing immense pressure from oil companies, he persevered, leading to regulations that mandate a certain percentage of electric vehicle production. This environmental focus is now a key policy direction for governments worldwide, including South Korea, which is shifting towards natural energy sources and questioning nuclear power. The National Dividend, by ensuring a middle-class standard of living, significantly improves the human environment, making it a perfect score in environmental terms.
sociality (sociality): Huh Kyung young’s theocratic politics (신정정치) is as perfect as if enacted by the Creator. Combined with the middle-class society (중산주의), it ensures that everyone can enjoy a middle-class life, fostering strong social cohesion.
governance structure (Governance): The National Dividend empowers citizens by providing them with direct dividends. If 50 million citizens receive 1.5 million won each, it signifies a robust governance structure. This model, pioneered by Huh Kyung young in Korea, would be emulated globally. This system would eliminate debt.
In the future, the workforce will shrink in quantity but increase in quality and added value, moving away from labor-intensive industries. This will inevitably lead to more unemployment and fewer opportunities for young people. Many individuals in their 40s and 50s are already struggling to find jobs and are dependent on their parents. Huh Kyung young aims to rectify this chronic problem by transforming the governance structure of South Korea, which is currently dominated by bureaucrats. He seeks to return control and tangible benefits, in the form of money, to the citizens, who have historically been mere nominal stakeholders.
Without such a societal transformation, the world faces immense economic and environmental crises. Many young people, small business owners, and ordinary citizens are living in a state akin to imprisonment. Basic income, often compared to the provisions given to prisoners in a correctional facility, offers a uniform standard of living without competition or the opportunity for upward mobility. Huh Kyung young’s vision, however, allows for competition while guaranteeing a middle-class minimum, with no upper limit on wealth accumulation.
Politicians advocating for basic income often propose adding it to the existing 200 trillion won welfare budget, which would bankrupt the nation. This approach lacks a proper mechanism. In contrast, Huh Kyung young’s “Middle Society” plan involves a 70% reduction in the national budget. While current politicians maintain their salaries, local government budgets, and the national budget, then add basic income, Huh Kyung young proposes unpaid parliamentary positions for those who receive pensions and are willing to serve the nation. This would free up funds for the national dividend.
The current system of parliamentary donations, where politicians receive hundreds of millions of won annually, particularly from ruling parties, creates a conflict of interest. These donations influence legislation, leading to laws that favor the wealthy and exacerbate the rich-poor divide. This system, established by the very politicians who benefit from it, is a fundamental flaw in South Korea’s constitutional history. the nation exists to serve its 50 million citizens, not just 300 politicians. He believes that politicians should serve the nation without receiving salaries or donations, using their own resources. The current system, where politicians receive both salaries and donations, creates a perception of quid pro quo in lawmaking.
The national dividend, unlike basic income, allows for competition while ensuring a minimum middle-class standard of living. It would lead to a complete overhaul of the existing 200 trillion won welfare system, with funds redirected to the national dividend, except for specific provisions for the disabled. This would eliminate the need for various welfare programs for the underprivileged, as the 1.5 million won dividend would suffice. Furthermore, the national dividend would be funded by additional revenue streams, including 100 trillion won from proportional property fines, 100 trillion won from tax consolidation, 100 trillion won from special business operators, and 100 trillion won from preventing high-income tax evasion, totaling 400 trillion won. This, combined with budget reductions, would create a surplus, unlike other proposals that would lead to national bankruptcy.
Huh Kyung young criticizes politicians for consuming the “blood” of the citizens. He invokes the name of the monk “Taneoh” (탄허), meaning “one who drinks emptiness,” to symbolize the ideal of a clean and incorruptible politician who lives on “empty space” rather than public funds. Such politicians, living frugally, would lead to a prosperous citizenry, whereas the current system of high salaries and corporate donations impoverishes the people. Politicians often collude across party lines to secure their own benefits while deceiving the public.
The Three Principles of National Construction and Citizen’s Rights
Building a nation requires adherence to three fundamental principles: horizontality, verticality, and space.
Horizontality (수평): This represents equality. If the national policy is tilted towards the wealthy, the nation will collapse. South Korea is currently in such a state, where the system favors the rich. Therefore, perfect horizontality is essential for national construction. This aligns with the three fundamental rights of citizens: the right to survival, the right to ownership, and the right to equality. The National Dividend ensures equality by distributing 1.4 billion won in national shares to every citizen, regardless of age, granting them ownership of South Korea’s assets. These shares are for ownership only, not for sale. This establishes equality and the right to ownership, thereby securing the right to survival.
Verticality (수직): This represents sovereignty. Just as a vertical stamp is placed on a ballot, sovereignty is exercised through the people’s participation.
Space (공간): This represents the citizens themselves, who inhabit the national space.
These three principles—horizontality (territory), verticality (sovereignty), and space (citizens)—are crucial for a nation’s stability. They also align with the three principles of democracy: human dignity, the pursuit of happiness, and absolute fairness. The national dividend, by providing 3 million won per family, ensures happiness and human dignity. The current era, marked by the pandemic, has highlighted how much people valued social interaction and simple pleasures, even amidst economic hardship. The national dividend aims to restore these aspects by ensuring absolute fairness.
Furthermore, the national dividend upholds the three principles of capitalism: the absolute principle of ownership, the principle of freedom of contract, and the principle of responsibility for negligence.
Absolute Principle of Ownership: The National Dividend ensures that national ownership truly rests with the citizens, unlike the current system where taxes erode ownership rights.
Principle of Freedom of Contract: Citizens would have the right to oversee and question government contracts.
Principle of Responsibility for Negligence: Citizens would be responsible for monitoring government spending and preventing waste. If citizens remain silent about wasteful projects, they bear the responsibility and suffer the loss of their National Dividend. For example, if citizens protest against unnecessary by-elections that cost billions, they can prevent such waste and increase their dividends.
Huh Kyung young’s national dividend system is meticulously designed, incorporating principles from various fields, including Eastern and Western philosophies.
The No-Platform, Hyper-Connected, Hyper-Intelligent, and Hyper-Scientific System
Huh Kyung young’s system aligns with the concepts of “no-platform,” “hyper-connection,” “hyper-intelligence,” and “hyper-science”.
No-platform: Unlike conventional systems that rely on platforms like Kakao or telecommunication providers, Huh Kyung young’s energy transmission operates without any intermediary platform. He demonstrates this by instantly infusing or removing energy from LG mobile phones and other electronic devices worldwide, regardless of their location or manufacturing year. This energy eliminates harmful electromagnetic waves and imbues products with beneficial energy, making homes like paradise. For example, milk with Huh Kyung young’s photo attached does not spoil for decades, instead separating into cheese and water. This “no-platform” capability allows for instantaneous, global energy transfer.
Hyper-Connection: This no-platform system enables hyper-connection, instantly linking individuals to higher realms.
Hyper-Intelligence: Such capabilities are beyond human intelligence, demonstrating a divine IQ.
Hyper-Science: The phenomena observed are beyond scientific explanation, representing hyper-science.
Huh Kyung young proposes to partner with global corporations like Samsung and Apple, infusing their products with his energy and allowing them to use his “H-mark” (허마크). This would make their products immensely popular, as they would offer benefits like energy conservation and food preservation even during power outages. For instance, a refrigerator with the H-mark would keep food fresh for years, preventing food poisoning. This would make South Korea the wealthiest nation in the world.
This system also extends to “hyper-religion” (초종교), where Huh Kyung young embraces and resolves issues that all religions have failed to address, acting as a platform for divine intervention. He can open individuals’ “Crown Chakra” (백회, a spiritual energy point) to connect them with heaven.
The Principles of Self-Reflection and Non-Judgment
Huh Kyung young adheres to two fundamental principles: “Sanggyeon” (상견, always see) and “Bulgyeon” (불견, do not see).
Sanggyeon (Always See): This refers to constantly examining one’s own faults and shortcomings (자심과건, 疵心過愆). It means being aware of temptations and weaknesses, such as the desire for alcohol or instant noodles, and reflecting on why such desires arise. It is about continuously observing one’s own errors and flaws. A single misjudgment or temptation can lead to irreversible ruin, as seen in cases of reckless stock market investments. Therefore, one must always be vigilant about their own actions and avoid seeking to profit at the expense of others.
Bulgyeon (Do Not See): This means never seeing the faults or shortcomings of others (불견타인시비, 不見他人是非). When others criticize or insult him, Huh Kyung young does not take it personally, as he knows he is not a fraud. He views criticism as an opportunity for self-improvement, using it as a “mirror” (반면교사) to reflect on what he needs to change. He considers his critics as brothers and has never engaged in conflict with anyone. This ability to distinguish between what to see and what not to see is a hallmark of the Creator.
The story of King Taejo Yi Seong-gye and the monk Muhak illustrates this principle. When Yi Seong-gye asked Muhak how he appeared, Muhak replied, “You look like a Buddha.” When Yi Seong-gye then said Muhak looked like a pig, Muhak responded, “A pig sees only pigs, and a Buddha sees only Buddhas.” This implied that Yi Seong-gye was the pig, while Muhak was the Buddha. Huh Kyung young clarifies that his criticisms are not directed at individual politicians but at the flawed societal system, particularly the donation system, which corrupts even well-intentioned individuals.
1. The National Dividend: A Paradigm Shift in Governance
Local government leaders often engage in lobbying to secure even a single extra penny of budget, and their subordinate public officials are reprimanded if they do not spend all allocated funds by the end of the year. This results in the constant waste of taxpayers’ precious money in unnecessary areas, much like water leaking from old pipes, instead of directly benefiting the citizens. In response, Huh Kyung-young of the National Revolutionary Party proposes directly distributing a National Dividend to the people. This means treating the Republic of Korea as a corporation and its citizens as shareholders, ensuring direct benefits for them.

Distinguishing the National Dividend from Basic Income
The National Dividend possesses distinct characteristics. It is crucial to understand these features, especially the third one, which pertains to the structure of governance. Some mistakenly equate the National Dividend with Basic Income, a concept often associated with communist policies. In communism, the state provides a basic allowance for survival, ensuring joint production and distribution. -
A New Economic and Political System: The Middle-Class Society
Our current system is a democracy with a capitalist economy. However, I propose an upgraded system: a Theocratic political system with a Middle-Class Economy. In this system, every citizen would belong to the middle class as a minimum standard of living, eliminating poverty. This is a society where the lowest rung is the middle class, ensuring no one lives in destitution. This Middle-Class Economy, or “Huh-conomy,” aims to create a society where everyone enjoys a comfortable standard of living. This vision has been declared globally, and it is my gift to humanity. -
The Future of Work and the Necessity of the National Dividend
As we advance into the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the number of people working will decrease, while the number of those needing to be supported will increase. This era is fundamentally different from agricultural or industrial societies. Advanced technology will reduce the need for human labor, leading to a rise in cyber-humans and robots. While we do not desire communism, which stifles competition, we need a system that ensures everyone can live comfortably while still fostering competitiveness and individual development. This is the essence of the Theocratic Huh-conomy and the Middle-Class Society. Without such a social structure, many will struggle to find employment, marry, or even sustain themselves, as evidenced by the current situation where many in their 40s and 50s remain unemployed and dependent on their parents. This chronic problem must be resolved. -
The Flawed Governance Structure of the Republic of Korea
The current governance structure of the Republic of Korea, when viewed by outsiders, reveals significant corruption. Despite having 50 million “shareholders” (citizens), this “corporation” has never distributed a dividend. Citizens are merely nominal shareholders, struggling to survive while the state’s annual budget of 550 trillion won disappears into a black hole, distributed among a select few. Local government heads lobby for more funds, and these funds are then shared among themselves, leaving no trace. This vast sum, collected from taxpayers, vanishes without directly benefiting the people. -
The Economic Principle of Local Circulation and National Budget Waste
Consider the analogy of a department store on a quiet island like Ulleungdo. If the department store generates 15 billion won in annual profit but remits all of it to its headquarters in Seoul, the island’s economy, with only 15 billion won circulating, would quickly collapse. The money needs to circulate within the local economy to foster prosperity. Similarly, the national budget, instead of circulating among the people, is siphoned off. Public officials are often reprimanded for saving budget funds and promoted for spending them, even if unnecessarily. This perverse incentive structure leads to rampant waste, with funds disappearing into unknown channels, such as defense spending or overseas resource development, without proper accountability. -
The Three Pillars of Future Global Leadership: Environment, Sociality, and Governance
The future of global leadership will be driven by three key principles: Environment, Sociality, and Governance.
Environment (Environmental Sustainability):
Companies are increasingly judged by their environmental impact. For example, Tesla’s electric vehicles, developed by Elon Musk, score perfectly on environmental criteria due to zero emissions. Musk’s motivation was to address humanity’s environmental challenges, even at the risk of his company’s failure.
Government policies worldwide are also shifting towards environmental sustainability, such as transitioning to natural energy sources and reconsidering nuclear power.
The National Dividend system would significantly improve the human environment by ensuring financial stability, allowing individuals to marry and secure housing even without traditional employment, thus fostering a middle-class society.
Sociality (Social Harmony and Well-being):
The Theocratic political system, characterized by its perfection and divine wisdom, combined with the Middle-Class Economy, ensures that everyone can achieve a middle-class standard of living.
This fosters social harmony and well-being, as all citizens have access to a decent life, regardless of their social standing.
Governance (Transparent and Accountable Leadership):
The National Dividend empowers citizens by making them direct beneficiaries of the nation’s wealth. When 50 million people receive dividends, they become active participants in governance.
This transparent and accountable governance structure, where citizens directly benefit, would inspire other nations to adopt Korea’s model.
-
The National Dividend vs. Basic Income: A Fundamental Difference
The current struggles of young people, ordinary citizens, and small business owners are akin to living in a prison. Basic Income is comparable to the system in a prison, where inmates receive the same food, clothing, and basic necessities. This system offers no minimum or maximum, treating everyone equally, which stifles competition and individual aspiration. We do not desire such a system. Instead, we advocate for a society where competition is preserved, but a minimum middle-class standard of living is guaranteed. The National Dividend ensures this minimum, while allowing for unlimited maximum achievement. -
The Flaws of Existing Welfare and the National Dividend’s Solution
Some politicians propose adding basic income to the existing 200 trillion won welfare budget, which would inevitably lead to national bankruptcy. This approach lacks a coherent mechanism. In contrast, the National Dividend system, combined with other initiatives like dating, marriage, and childbirth allowances, offers a structured solution. My approach differs fundamentally: it involves a 70% reduction in the national budget. Current politicians maintain their salaries, parliamentary expenses, and local government budgets, then propose adding basic income, which is unsustainable. -
Reforming Political Funding and Compensation
Members of the National Assembly currently receive substantial salaries and political donations. These donations, often from corporations, influence legislation, leading to policies that favor the wealthy and exacerbate the rich-poor divide. This system is fundamentally flawed. I propose eliminating salaries for National Assembly members and relying on individuals who are willing to serve the nation without financial compensation, such as retirees with pensions. This would drastically reduce the national budget and eliminate the influence of corporate donations. -
The Corrupting Influence of Political Donations
When National Assembly members receive both salaries and corporate donations, their legislative decisions inevitably favor the donors. This creates a system where laws are crafted to benefit the wealthy, leading to an ever-widening gap between the rich and the poor. The very system of political donations, established by these politicians themselves, undermines the integrity of governance. This is why the nation is failing and inequality persists. -
The Mismanagement of National Funds and the Need for Accountability
The public is largely unaware of how national funds are squandered. For instance, 50 trillion won is allocated for defense, 45 trillion for increasing birth rates, and 35 trillion for gender equality, yet these funds often fail to achieve their stated goals. For example, instead of directly giving 150 million won to new parents, the money is fragmented into trivial benefits like milk subsidies or kindergarten meal expenses. This mismanagement is a result of a system where politicians prioritize self-interest over public welfare. The National Assembly, which should be the cleanest institution, is instead riddled with corruption due to these donation systems. -
The National Dividend: A Path to Dignity and Economic Stability
The National Dividend is not a basic income that traps people in a “prison” of minimal existence. Instead, it fosters a competitive society while guaranteeing a minimum middle-class lifestyle. This dividend can be used to start businesses, knowing that even if they fail, the National Dividend will provide a safety net, thus preserving citizens’ dignity. This system would fundamentally reform the existing welfare system, redirecting the 200 trillion won welfare budget into the National Dividend. This would eliminate the need for various poverty assistance programs, as the 1.5 million won dividend would provide sufficient support. -
Funding the National Dividend: A Comprehensive Financial Strategy
The National Dividend would be funded through a comprehensive financial strategy:
Asset-proportional fines: 100 trillion won.
Tax consolidation: 100 trillion won.
Special business operators (5 million people): 100 trillion won.
Prevention of high-income tax evasion: 100 trillion won annually.
This generates an additional 400 trillion won. Combined with a 400 trillion won reduction in existing budgets, this creates a robust financial foundation for the National Dividend. This approach contrasts sharply with current proposals that merely add basic income to existing welfare, leading to budget overruns. -
Reforming Welfare and Supporting National Heroes
The National Dividend would replace most existing welfare programs, except for specific support for veterans and people with disabilities. Programs for the impoverished and those receiving basic living assistance would become obsolete, as the 1.5 million won dividend would provide a stable income. This eliminates the current system where individuals lose benefits if they earn any income, effectively discouraging work and creating dependency. Such flawed policies, designed by the National Assembly, are a source of shame. -
The Philosophy of a Clean Politician: Embracing Emptiness
Politicians should embody the spirit of “Taneosunim,” whose name means “one who drinks emptiness.” This signifies a politician who consumes nothing from the people, living a life of integrity and selflessness. Why should politicians feed on the blood of the people, soliciting donations from struggling businesses, and receiving salaries from taxpayer money? A truly righteous politician should be a “clean official,” living on “empty space,” meaning they serve without personal gain. When politicians live frugally, the people prosper. Conversely, when politicians enrich themselves through exorbitant salaries and corporate donations, the nation suffers, and its citizens face destitution. -
The Three Principles of National Construction: Horizontal, Vertical, and Space
Building a nation requires adherence to three fundamental principles: Horizontal, Vertical, and Space.
Horizontal (Equality and Territory):
The foundation of a nation must be perfectly horizontal, representing equality among all citizens. If the foundation is tilted towards the wealthy, the nation will collapse.
This horizontal aspect also symbolizes the nation’s territory, which must be politically stable and upright.
The National Dividend ensures this horizontal equality by granting every citizen, from infants to adults, equal ownership of the Republic of Korea’s assets, valued at 1.4 billion won per person. This ensures equal rights to survival, ownership, and equality.
Vertical (Sovereignty):
Upon a stable horizontal foundation, a strong vertical structure must be erected, symbolizing national sovereignty. This is represented by the act of voting, where citizens exercise their sovereign power.
Space (Citizens):
The space within this structure represents the citizens, who exist in a three-dimensional reality.
The principles of horizontal, vertical, and space ensure that the Republic of Korea stands firm.
-
Realizing Human Dignity, Happiness, and Absolute Fairness
The National Dividend embodies the three principles of democracy:
Human Dignity: It upholds the dignity of every individual.
Pursuit of Happiness: It enables citizens to pursue happiness by providing financial security. Imagine the happiness of a family receiving 3 million won monthly, with basic necessities like water and sanitation secured.
Absolute Fairness: It ensures absolute fairness in society. -
Upholding the Principles of Capitalism: Ownership, Contract, and Responsibility
The National Dividend also fully upholds the three principles of capitalism:
Absolute Principle of Ownership: It ensures that national ownership is absolutely vested in the citizens. Currently, ownership is eroded by taxes, making it feel like a perpetual rental. The National Dividend restores true ownership.
Principle of Freedom of Contract: It allows citizens to freely engage in contracts.
Principle of Responsibility for Negligence: It holds citizens accountable for their negligence. If citizens remain silent about wasteful public projects or unnecessary by-elections, they bear the responsibility for the resulting financial losses, which directly impact their National Dividend. This empowers citizens to actively monitor government spending and demand accountability. -
The No-Platform, Hyper-Connected, Hyper-Intelligent, Hyper-Scientific Era
My approach to the National Dividend is based on a “No-Platform” concept, which aligns with the principles of hyper-connectivity, hyper-intelligence, and hyper-science.
No-Platform: Unlike conventional systems that rely on platforms like Kakao or KT, my intelligence operates without intermediaries. I can instantly transmit energy globally to any LG electronic device, regardless of location or year of manufacture, without any platform. This demonstrates a direct, platform-less connection.
Hyper-Connectivity: This instant, global energy transmission exemplifies hyper-connectivity, where all things are directly linked without conventional infrastructure.
Hyper-Intelligence: Such an ability transcends human intelligence, representing a divine IQ that is infinitely superior.
Hyper-Science: This phenomenon defies conventional scientific understanding, operating beyond the realm of known physics.
-
The “H” Mark: A New Economic Paradigm for the Fourth Industrial Revolution
I propose a new economic model for the Fourth Industrial Revolution: companies can pay me to imbue their products with my energy, allowing them to affix an “H” mark (for Huh Kyung-young). This “H” mark would signify products that possess beneficial energy, eliminating harmful electromagnetic waves and creating a harmonious environment. For example, milk with my photo attached does not spoil for years, transforming into cheese. Similarly, an “H” marked refrigerator would keep food fresh even during power outages, preventing food poisoning and ensuring safety. This would revolutionize industries, making “H” marked products highly sought after. Companies like Samsung, LG, and Apple should seek my collaboration to gain a competitive edge and ensure the well-being of their customers. -
The Hyper-Religious Era and Divine Intervention
My abilities extend to the hyper-religious realm. I embrace and acknowledge the positive aspects of all religions, resolving issues that traditional religions cannot. Through direct connection to the White Heaven, I can open individuals’ spiritual centers, bypassing any intermediaries. This divine power is infinite, offering solutions to global problems. -
The Principles of Self-Reflection and Non-Judgment
Throughout my life, I have adhered to two fundamental principles:
Constant Self-Reflection (Sanggyeon Jasim): Always examine one’s own faults and shortcomings. This means constantly scrutinizing one’s own actions and thoughts, identifying weaknesses, and resisting temptations. For example, questioning why one might be tempted by unhealthy food or risky investments.
Non-Judgment of Others (Bulgyeon Tain Sibi): Never criticize or judge the faults of others. When others criticize me, I do not take offense but instead use their feedback for self-improvement. I view such critics as brothers, seeking their continued input as a means of self-correction. This approach prevents conflict and fosters personal growth. -
The Wisdom of the Great Monk Muhak: Seeing What You Are
The story of King Taejo Yi Seong-gye and the Great Monk Muhak illustrates this principle. When Yi Seong-gye remarked that Muhak looked like a pig, Muhak responded that “a pig sees only pigs, and a Buddha sees only Buddhas.” This implied that Yi Seong-gye, by seeing a pig, revealed his own nature, while Muhak, seeing a Buddha, revealed his. This wisdom highlights that our perceptions reflect our inner selves. -
Systemic Flaws, Not Individual Failures
My critique is not directed at individual National Assembly members, whom I consider diligent and capable. Rather, it targets the flawed societal system that traps them in a cycle of self-serving practices, such as the political donation system. These individuals did not enter politics with the intention of receiving donations, but the system itself encourages such behavior. It is this systemic issue that must be rectified to ensure a just and prosperous nation.
This excerpt note captures Huh Kyung-young’s unique political and economic philosophy from his 1272nd Saturday lecture. Huh Kyung-young, a controversial but influential figure in South Korean politics, presents his vision for a “Middle-Class Society” (중산주의) through his “National Dividend” (국민배당금) policy. He critiques existing political and economic systems, contrasting his ideas with communism and current capitalism, and even demonstrates his “supernatural abilities” as a “divine being” (God-man) to support his claims. This note highlights his core arguments, his sharp criticisms of the current political establishment, and his distinctive worldview.
Huh Kyung-young’s Vision: National Dividend and the Middle-Class Society
The Core Idea: National Dividend vs. Basic Income
Huh Kyung-young sharply distinguishes his “National Dividend” from the concept of “Basic Income,” arguing that the latter is a communist policy. He proposes a “Middle-Class Society” (중산주의) where all citizens are shareholders of “Republic of Korea Inc.” and receive dividends, ensuring a minimum standard of living for everyone. This is a fascinating reinterpretation of a nation as a corporation, with citizens as its rightful owners.
국민 배당금 이야기를 왜 자꾸 하냐 하면은, 국민 배당금의 특징을 내가 이야기했죠. 국민 배당금의 특징이 정말로 이 세 개가 있는데, 이 세 번째 특징, 이것이 지난번에 첫 번째, 두 번째, 세 번째, 오늘 또 이야기해 주려고 하는 거예요. 세 번째 특징은 뭐죠? 거 이거는 뭐예요? 집의 구조야. 통치 구조. 그러면은 첫 번째는 뭐라 그랬죠? 인바이먼트. 이거는 뭐라 그랬어요? 환경. 우리가 말하는 이 환경이. 두 번째가 뭐죠? 소셜리티. 소셜리티. 이거는 사회성이, 사회성. 그러니까 이 국민 배당금이 단순한 무슨 저 정신들이 지금 내 거 모방한 그 이름을 뭐라고 이야기하는지 알아요? 기본소득이라 그러죠. 기본소득은 어디서 쓰냐고요? 공산 정책이야, 공산주의. 공산주의에서 국민들에게 뭘 줘요? 업, 업을 준단 말이야. 살만큼 기본적으로 배급을 딱 줘요. 그래서 이거는 기본소득을 보장해 주는 데서 공산, 공산주의 공동생산, 분배. 중면 공동생산. 공산은 공동생산이네. 공동분배냐? 그렇죠. 공동으로 분배한다 그러면 공동생산, 공산. 그래서 공산. 그러면 공동생산, 공동분배에서 기본소득을 보장해 줘 국가가. 우리는 경쟁 사회죠. 이건 자본주의야. 체제는 민주주의인데 경제는 자본주의. 여기는 체제는 사회주의인데 경제는 공산주의. 내가 이야기하는 건 체제는 신정주의, 경제는 중산주의. 요렇게 되는 거야.
The reason I keep talking about the National Dividend is because I’ve explained its features. There are truly three features of the National Dividend, and I’m going to talk about the third one again today, along with the first and second. What’s the third feature? It’s the structure of the house, the governance structure (통치 구조). The first was the environment (환경), and the second was sociality (사회성). this National Dividend isn’t just some simple thing. Do you know what those crazy people who imitate me call it? They call it Basic Income (기본소득). Where is Basic Income used? It’s a communist policy (공산 정책). In communism, they give people enough to live on, a basic allowance. it’s about guaranteeing a basic income in a communist system of common production and distribution. We live in a competitive society, which is capitalism. The system is democracy, but the economy is capitalism. In communism, the system is socialism, and the economy is communism. What I’m talking about is a theocratic system (신정주의) and a middle-class economy (중산주의). That’s how it works.
모든 국민이 중산층이 된다는 뜻이야. 가 중산층이 미니멈이, 이게 맥시멈이 아니고 미니멈이. 미니멈은 최하위가 중산층이라는 거야. 이 빈민층이 없어.
It means all citizens become middle class. The middle class is the minimum, not the maximum. The minimum means the lowest class is the middle class. There are no poor people.
Critique of Current Politics and Economic System
Huh Kyung-young doesn’t hold back in his criticism of the current political system, which he sees as a “black hole” for national budgets. politicians are self-serving, creating laws that benefit the wealthy through political donations (후원금) and wasting taxpayer money. His vision is a radical overhaul, where public servants prioritize saving money and are rewarded for it, rather than being penalized for underspending. This is a powerful indictment of the perceived corruption and inefficiency in government.
국민들은 아비규환에 들어가 버리고 국가는 예산을 연간 550조 싹 쓸어 가지고 저거끼리, 저거끼리 끼리끼리 들어가 버려. 돈이 어디로 가는지 흔적이 없어. 끼리끼리 나눠 먹어 버려. 자치 단체장은 정부에 위에 가서 예산 많이 받으려고 출석이 하고 뭐 그러니까 끼리끼리 다 해 먹어 버리고, 해 먹어 버리고 국민은 매년 국민은 550조 끌려 나가요. 어디가? 저 끼리끼리 싹 나눠 버리고 밑에 국민들은 매번 세금 내 가지고 550조 어디로 온가 사라지는 거야. 블랙홀로 무슨 말인지 모르겠어요. 그 550조 블랙홀로 살아지지 않고 국민들한테 다시 돌아와야 돼.
The citizens are in chaos, and the state sweeps up 550 trillion won in annual budgets, and it all goes among themselves, among their own circles. There’s no trace of where the money goes. They just share it among themselves. Local government heads go to the central government to get more budget. they all take it for themselves, and the citizens lose 550 trillion won every year. Where does it go? It’s all divided among their circles, and the citizens pay taxes every time, and 550 trillion won disappears somewhere. Into a black hole (블랙홀). Don’t you understand? That 550 trillion won shouldn’t disappear into a black hole; it should come back to the citizens.
관계 공무원은 예산이 남으면 무조건 좌천, 자천. 아니, 국장님, 예산이 남았는데요. 얼마나 남았는데? 예산이 뭐 한 5천, 5천억 정도 남았어. 야, 마, 너 마, 도발이 자식아, 이게 뭐야. 예산만 남으면 전부 자천이야. 전부 시골로. 예산을 써서 모자란다고 보고하는 놈은 진급이 돼요. 이게 나라 살림하는 사람들인가? 어. 난요, 도둑들 잡으러 온 사람이야. 도둑들.
Relevant public officials are unconditionally demoted if there’s a budget surplus. “Director, we have a budget surplus.” “How much?” “About 500 billion won.” “Hey, you idiot, what is this?” If there’s a budget surplus, everyone gets demoted, sent to the countryside. Those who report a budget deficit get promoted. Are these people managing the country’s finances? I’m here to catch thieves (도둑들).
아니, 국회의원 월급 받고 국가에서 후원금도 기업체 받다 보니까 표를 법을 만들 때 손이 어디로 가? 후원금 안 주는 국민들 찍어주나? 이쪽에 돈 주는 기업인들, 후원금 주는 기업이 줄줄이 서 있는데, 그것도 꼭 무슨 거기에 이해 관계가 있는 사람들이 많아요. 후원금 한도 금액에 맞춰서 내긴 내는데, 여러 사람 이름으로 막 도와줘. 그러면 그, 그, 그 사람들 법을 외면할 수가 있나? 이러니까 부익부 빈익빈이 국회 후원금 때문에 생기는 거야.
When National Assembly members receive salaries and also political donations from corporations, where do their hands go when they make laws? Do they vote for citizens who don’t give donations? There are rows of businesspeople and corporations giving donations, and many of them have vested interests. They donate up to the limit, but they do it under various names. Can they ignore the laws for those people? This is why wealth disparity (부익부 빈익빈) arises because of National Assembly donations.
The Three Principles of a Nation: Horizontal, Vertical, and Space
Huh Kyung-young introduces a unique framework for a nation’s foundation, drawing parallels to building a house: horizontal (수평), vertical (수직), and space (공간). He equates these to territory (영토), sovereignty (주권), and citizens (국민), emphasizing that a nation must be built on a perfectly horizontal foundation of equality and citizen ownership. This abstract yet concrete analogy highlights his belief in fundamental fairness and citizen empowerment.
우리가 집을 질 때 항상 수평. 수평이라는 건 수평이라는 건 제일 중요한 거야. 그다음에 두 번째가 수직. 수직이라는 거는 굉장히 중요한 거야. 수직. 세 번째가 뭐예요? 공간. 공간. 그래, 방이 생기잖아. 그다음에 방도 생기고 공간. 그러면 수과 수직과 공간이 서는데. 정부 정책이 수평이 안 되고 정책이 이렇게 부자 쪽으로 기울어 있으면 되나. 이 기울이 있으면 이게 이게 부자 쪽이고 이게 가난한 사람 쪽이야. 이렇게 기울인다. 여다 대한민국을 빌딩을 이렇게 지겠다는 거야. 이렇게 지면은 빌딩 넘어져, 안 넘어져? 넘어져. 안 넘어져? 넘어져. 몰락하는 거야. 이게 지금 대한민국이 그렇습니다. 수평을 있는 사람 쪽에다 맞춰 놓은 거야. 여기 없는 사람 쪽이야. 그러면 이게 무너져, 안 무너져? 무너져. 그러니까 언제나 수평이 먼저야. 집을 질 때 이 대한민국이라는 나라를 건설하려면 수평이 완벽해야 돼.
When we build a house, it always starts with horizontal (수평). Horizontal is the most important thing. Then, the second is vertical (수직). Vertical is very important. Vertical. What’s the third? Space (공간). Space. Then rooms are created. Rooms are created, and space. when horizontal, vertical, and space are established, what if government policy isn’t horizontal and leans towards the rich? If it leans, this side is the rich, and this side is the poor. It leans like this. They’re trying to build the Republic of Korea like this building. If you build it like this, will the building fall ? It will fall. Will it fall ? It will fall. It will collapse. This is what the Republic of Korea is like now. The horizontal is set towards the rich. This side is the poor. will it collapse ? It will collapse. horizontal always comes first. When building a house, to construct a country like the Republic of Korea, the horizontal must be perfect.
영토, 주권, 국민. 영토, 주권, 국민이 공간이 국민이야. 국민이 살아가. 요거는 뭐야? 수식은 주권이. 이거 주권. 이거 봐요. 이게 수직으로 도장 찍어야 돼, 안 해야 돼? 투표할 때 요렇게 찍어, 안 찍어? 이 수직이 적 말하면 이게 주권이란 말이야. 이게 수평이 영토. 그 토양이 반듯해야 돼. 대한민국이 정치적으로 반듯한 토양이 야 돼.
Territory, sovereignty, people (영토, 주권, 국민). Territory, sovereignty, people—the people are the space. The people live. What is this? The vertical is sovereignty. This is sovereignty. Look at this. Do you have to stamp it vertically ? When you vote, do you stamp it like this ? This vertical, in short, is sovereignty. The horizontal is territory. The soil must be straight. The Republic of Korea must have a politically straight soil.
The Divine Being and “No-Platform” Technology
Huh Kyung-young claims to be a “divine being” (God-man) with “super-intelligence” (초지능) and “super-science” (초과학), enabling “no-platform” (노플랫폼) technology. He demonstrates this by “sending energy” to electronic devices globally without any physical connection, suggesting his ability to directly influence the world. This is a truly unique aspect of his persona, blending spiritual claims with technological metaphors to assert his extraordinary capabilities.
그러니까 내가 이, 이 세 가지가 뭐 하고 맞아떨어진다 그랬어요? 요 세 가지가 이거 또 뭐 하고 만아요? 또 1, 2, 3이요. 뭐 하고 맞아떨어지지? 플랫폼. 근데 내가 이걸 무슨 플랫폼이라고 그랬어요? 노 플랫폼이라 그랬지. 이것이 노 플랫폼이에요. 그다음 노 뭐예요? 노 타임. 노. 스페이스를 그러죠. 그니까 요것이 요놈하고 맞아떨어져. 내가 플랫폼 없이 모든 걸 하죠. 모든 게 플랫폼 없이 하죠. 허령, 뭐 령이 딴 데 가서 교수한테 받아서 만드나? 플랫폼. 허행 머리가 전부 안에 플랫폼이 다 들어 있어.
what did I say these three things align with? What do these three things align with? Again, 1, 2, 3. What do they align with? Platform (플랫폼). But what kind of platform did I say this was? I said it was a no-platform (노 플랫폼). This is a no-platform. Then what’s no? No-time. No. Space. this aligns with that. I do everything without a platform. Everything is done without a platform. Does Huh Kyung-young get his power from a professor somewhere? Platform. Huh Kyung-young’s mind has all the platforms inside.
이게 어떤 지능이 없이는 이런 일을 할 수 없잖아요. 이거는 신의 IQ. 그래서 여러분 IQ, IQ는 나한테 1억 분의 1이 아니라 무한대 분의 1이야. 맞아요, 말이야. 그 초지능이지. 그다음 또 뭐예요? 초, 초 뭐겠어요? 이 지금 우리가 본 행위가 초과학이야. 과학. 초과학. 초과학이라니까. 과학으로는 이해할 수가 없어요.
You can’t do this kind of work without some kind of intelligence. This is God’s IQ (신의 IQ). your IQ is not 1/100 million of mine, but 1/infinity. That’s super-intelligence (초지능). What else? Super, what would it be? This act we just witnessed is super-science (초과학). Science. Super-science. It’s super-science. Science cannot understand it.
Personal Philosophy: Self-Reflection and Non-Judgment
Huh Kyung-young shares his personal philosophy, rooted in Buddhist and Confucian principles: “always see one’s own faults, never see others’ faults” (상견자과, 불견타인시비). He emphasizes constant self-reflection and non-judgment of others, even those who criticize him. This reveals a disciplined mindset focused on personal growth and a unique approach to handling public scrutiny, framing criticism as an opportunity for self-improvement.
나는 불견 지키고 상견 지켜. 상견, 항상 봐야 돼. 항상. 항상 뭐 봐야 된다고? 상견은 뭐예요? 상견은 뭘 보라는 거예요? 자심. 이거는 불교 용어. 만약에 자심이 되면 자, 상견. 자신이 되면은 이게 유교 용어. 항상 자기 몸을 그래. 한 그래. 뭐 하라고요? 뭐 하라 그랬어. 이 실제 각은 그러면 상견 자신과 여기서는 이게 원래 여기는 과건이 아니야. 여기는 자시 과건이야. 과건. 음. 그러면 항상 자기 마음속에 있는 자기의 이 권자가 무슨 건자? 허물 건자. 자기 자신의 과오와 허물을 항상 봐라. 항상. 항상.
I uphold “not seeing” and “always seeing.” “Always seeing” (상견), I must always see. Always. What should I always see? What does “always seeing” mean? It means one’s own mind (자심). This is a Buddhist term. If it becomes “self-mind,” then “always seeing.” If it becomes “self,” it’s a Confucian term. Always look at your own body. What should you do? What did I say to do? This actual realization, then, is “always seeing one’s self” and here, it’s not “faults” originally. Here, it’s “self-faults.” always look at your own faults and mistakes in your heart. Always. Always.
불견(不見) 보지 말아야 될 건 뭐예요? 불견. 불견 타인(他人). 불견 타인 시비(是非). 그러니까 다른 사람의 허물 보라는 거야, 보지 말라는 거야? 다른 사람의 허물은 절대 보지 마라.
What should “not seeing” (불견) be? “Not seeing.” “Not seeing others’ rights and wrongs” (불견 타인 시비). should you look at other people’s faults ? Absolutely do not look at other people’s faults.
what is the primary reason for the current waste of national budget funds in South Korea?
① Excessive military spending and defense contracts
② Inefficient lobbying by local governments and pressure to spend allocated budgets
③ Lack of public interest in how tax money is spent
④ High salaries and benefits for public officials
(②, local governments lobby for more budget and public officials are pressured to spend all allocated funds, leading to waste. A common misconception is that corruption is the sole cause, but systemic pressure to spend also contributes.)
He contrasts “basic income” with “national dividend.” What political ideology does Mr. Huh associate with “basic income”?
(Communism, He explicitly states that “basic income” is a “communist policy” where the state provides basic necessities. A common misconception is that basic income is a purely capitalist concept, but Mr. Huh differentiates it by linking it to communist principles of distribution.)
True or False: South Korea is one of the best countries to live in globally due to its well-developed infrastructure like subways, buses, and public restrooms.
(True, He praises South Korea’s infrastructure, stating it has well-developed subways, numerous bus routes, and hotel-level public restrooms, making it one of the best countries to live in. A common misconception might be that Mr. Huh is entirely critical of the current system, but he acknowledges existing strengths.)
What is His proposed economic system, which he contrasts with capitalism and communism?
(Middle-classism (중산주의), He proposes “Middle-classism” (중산주의) as an economic system where all citizens are at least middle-class, eliminating poverty. A common misconception is that he is advocating for a purely socialist system, maintaining competition while ensuring a minimum standard of living.)
what is the minimum standard of living in his proposed “Middle-classism” society?
① Everyone becomes a millionaire
② Everyone is guaranteed a basic income equivalent to a prison inmate
③ The lowest income level is equivalent to the middle class
④ All citizens receive a fixed, equal amount of wealth
(③, in “Middle-classism,” the “minimum is the middle class,” meaning the lowest economic tier would be equivalent to the middle class. A common misconception is that this implies absolute equality, but he clarifies that maximum wealth is unlimited.)
True or False: He believes that public officials who save budget funds should be promoted, not demoted.
(True, He criticizes the current system where officials are demoted for saving budget and promoted for spending it, stating that if he were president, he would reward those who save. A common misconception is that all politicians are the same, but he highlights this specific policy difference.)
Intermediate
He describes the current state of South Korea as a “joint-stock company” where the citizens are “shareholders.” What is his main criticism of this “governance structure”?
(Citizens, as shareholders, have never received dividends, He criticizes that despite citizens being “shareholders” of “Republic of Korea Inc.,” they have never received any dividends, implying a fundamental flaw in the distribution of national wealth. A common misconception is that he is only talking about financial corruption, but he frames it as a systemic failure of the governance structure to benefit its “owners.”)
He mentions three characteristics of the “national dividend” policy that will “unify the world.” What are these three characteristics, and how do they relate to the future global trends he identifies?
(Environment (인바이러먼트), Sociality (사회성), and Governance Structure (통치 구조), He links these three characteristics to future global trends, arguing that the national dividend policy will improve the human environment (e.g., enabling marriage without job security), enhance social cohesion (everyone achieving middle-class status), and establish a governance structure where citizens directly benefit, making it a model for the world. A common misconception is that these are just abstract concepts, but he connects them directly to tangible benefits and global leadership.)
He criticizes existing politicians for proposing “basic income” as an addition to the current welfare budget. What is his alternative approach to funding his “national dividend” and other welfare policies?
(Reducing the national budget by 70% and generating new revenue, He proposes drastically cutting the existing national budget by 70% (e.g., eliminating politician salaries and unnecessary expenses) and generating new revenue through measures like property-proportional fines, tax consolidation, and preventing high-income tax evasion. A common misconception is that his plan is simply about spending more, a fundamental restructuring of government spending and revenue generation.)
He uses an analogy of building a house with “horizontal,” “vertical,” and “space” principles to describe the foundation of a nation. How does he connect these principles to the fundamental rights of citizens in South Korea?
(Horizontal (수평) represents equality and territory, vertical (수직) represents sovereignty, and space (공간) represents the people, He links “horizontal” to the “right to equality” and the nation’s “territory,” ensuring a level playing field for all citizens. “Vertical” is associated with “sovereignty” and the act of voting, representing the uprightness of the state. “Space” is the “people” themselves, who exist within this framework. his policies, like giving citizens “stock” in the nation, ensure these rights are fully realized. A common misconception is that these are merely architectural terms, but he uses them as a metaphor for constitutional principles.)
He criticizes the current system where National Assembly members receive both salaries and “sponsorships” (후원금). What negative consequences does he attribute to this system?
(It leads to corruption, biased lawmaking, and exacerbates wealth inequality, receiving sponsorships from corporations and wealthy individuals influences lawmakers to create laws that favor their donors, rather than the general public. This results in “the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer” (부익부 빈익빈) and undermines the integrity of the legislative process. A common misconception is that sponsorships are purely voluntary and harmless, but he highlights their potential for undue influence.)
Advanced
He introduces the concept of “No Platform” (노플랫폼) and connects it to “Hyper-connection” (초연결), “Hyper-intelligence” (초지능), and “Hyper-science” (초과학). Explain how he demonstrates this “No Platform” capability using electronic devices and what implications he suggests it has for future industries and even religion.
(He demonstrates “No Platform” by instantly infusing and removing energy from LG electronic devices worldwide without any physical or digital intermediary, claiming it takes “zero seconds.” He links this to “Hyper-connection” (instant global reach), “Hyper-intelligence” (requiring divine IQ), and “Hyper-science” (beyond current scientific understanding). He suggests this capability can be commercialized (e.g., charging companies for “H-mark” energy infusion to make products superior and food imperishable), leading to South Korea becoming the wealthiest nation and even transforming religion into “Hyper-religion” by directly connecting people to the divine. A common misconception is that these are just abstract terms; he attempts to provide a “demonstration” and outlines concrete (albeit fantastical) applications.)
He discusses two principles: “always see” (상견) and “never see” (불견). What specific aspects should one “always see” and “never see,” and how does he relate these principles to his own conduct and the behavior of politicians?
(One should “always see” their own faults and mistakes (자신의 과오와 허물) and “never see” the faults or flaws of others (타인의 시비). He applies this to himself, stating he doesn’t care about others’ criticisms because he knows he is not a “fraudster” and uses criticism for self-reflection. He contrasts this with politicians who, he implies, focus on others’ flaws while ignoring their own, particularly regarding financial misconduct and self-serving laws. A common misconception is that this is about ignoring all criticism; instead, it’s about internalizing self-critique and externalizing judgment of others.)
He criticizes the current welfare system, stating that it has “double standards” (이중성) and often punishes those who try to work while receiving aid. How does his “national dividend” system address these issues, and what existing welfare programs would be eliminated or reformed under his plan?
(His national dividend system would provide a universal basic income (e.g., 1.5 million won per person) that eliminates the need for many existing welfare programs like those for the extremely poor or living assistance, as everyone would be at least middle-class. It would also remove disincentives to work, as receiving the dividend would not prevent individuals from seeking employment. the 200 trillion won allocated to existing welfare would be reallocated to the national dividend, with only specific programs like disability welfare being maintained or enhanced. A common misconception is that his plan is simply an expansion of current welfare; instead, it’s a radical overhaul that replaces many existing programs with a universal payment.)
