[QUOTE="KDM, post: 479220, member: 314"] Virtually no chance of this happening IMO. Greed is VASTLY more powerful to the human condition than empathy, selfless actions, or utopian motivators of any kind. If by some minuscule chance this process was to be initiated, I rather doubt the wealthy elites will give up their financial positions, status, power, and all other trappings of being rich in an effort to elevate the plebs to lives of comfort and abundance. Selfishness is universal in humans, selflessness is a rarity. Sad, but just the way it is. Very few people would willingly labor when all their needs are being met. Just look at the welfare recipients currently on the books. Now make that nationwide. People would have to be forced to go do construction, farming, oil production, or essentially any other job. I agree with guy. What a recipe for disaster. [/QUOTE]
