"Humans are selfish by nature, but they also have an excellent capacity to work together. This is why capitalism works and socialism always fails. Your article refers to "distributing goods and services". Who is in charge of making the decision about who gets what? Government? This would require an organized centralized power and centralized power ALWAYS leads to tyranny. Individuals voluntarily trading goods and services is the only humane way for us to exist as a free society.

The problems that we are having right now are because we do not live in a capitalist society. We live in something like an oligarchic democracy or crony capitalist system where an elite few have extensive control over everyone else."

Yes, the administration of a way of life without money is a huge problem. As proposed in my essay, a web of "economic bodies" would be created; one for the federal, one for each state and one for each local level. These economic bodies will coordinate the economic traffic in our nation. They will interact with each other as much as modern technology will allow. A balance of supply and demand will be achieved taking every conceivable factor into consideration including conservation and our environment as well as the needs of the people and their craving for luxuries.

In short, these economic bodies will be coordinating what is now our free enterprise system to fulfill the economic needs of our nation.

Today, 50% of Americans are unhappy at their jobs. In a way of life without money, these unhappy people will be free to find the work they love doing. They will be free to "follow their bliss". I believe everybody has some kind of talent or ability they wish to use for the benefit of society. If I'm wrong, a way of life without money will fail. Gaining the proper balance between work and pleasure is essential to a complete life.

I agree with 99% your post. We have to get money to local and federal governments for 5 things…Education, Transit, Military, Law making, Checks and Balances for the Free Market. The problem is Government is WAY too big and corrupt to spend our money wisely.

The way I see it…We the People have to check the Government, the Government checks the Private Sector and the Judicial Branch Checks us all. With out a doubt the IRS needs to go…but government and taxation is unavoidable. Because of this we have to figure out how to make it a fair and productive partnership.

You have a great mind my Man!

That is an interesting fact. I think this tid-bit should make the front page.

Thanks for the humor.
