yup. about eight million holes in that theory. What if someone has an on the job accident and is now a vegetable? pull the plug cuz he can't work anymore?

What if someone decides they don't want to work anymore, or gets pregnant ten times in a row and doesn't work for years? that's gonna piss off a few construction workers pulling 12 hours a day. And assuming that you assign jobs, how do you keep people that get assigned as minimum wage garbage men from throwing a tizzy at the CEO's? then they'd revolt and you'd have trash all over your sparkly streets of gold.
(don't think i'm being harsh, i actually created that same thing for a school project a few years ago and got a new arse-hole torn in me for my efforts.)

Now, my idea would be to take the Ayn Rand Philosophy. Complete, Unfettered Capitalism. With a totally unrestricted capitalist society the best of the best, the crem de la creme rise to the top, therefore you have natural managers being immediately brought up to high positions. With the proper managers in place, they would not perform the "job handouts to friends" system and so you would have no dead wieght in the company to worry about. The people who did not succeed and were poor or homeless have absolutely no one to blame except themselves for not being talented enough to succeed, and they wold end up taking govt. jobs as a service to the people a non competitive nature.

In it's very essence, read Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead. It makes an almost insane amount of sense. and phil? Insanely good topic. thank you for having a brain. *give Phil some chocolate*
