What is the cause of electric charge?

I am interested in fundamental questions such as 'What is the cause of electric charge?' beyond the standard answer of 'charge is a property/label associated with some elementary particles and not others'.

Items on this page give a possible explanation of why some elementary particles possess charge and others do not and at the same time accounts for the diffuse nature of the electron. The published paper goes on to show how quark charges (2/3, 1/3) occur in the ratio of 2:1.
