Sounds like a great goal. And I am all in favour of everyone getting a chance and being rewarded for their efforts.
However, if you took all the money in the world and divided it equally, after 6 months there would be super rich and pathetically poor.

As much as I'm not a Trekkie, I like Roddenberry's vision of no money, no religion in the future. Get rid of greed and theism and you'll kill off most, if not all, wars overnight.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

I like to think that this is the direction our species is heading in as we evolve, if we can only just not destroy the eco system and wipe ourselves out in the mean time..."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like?

Korbyn will end poverty.
At least in England.
He'll bring all the rich bastards, and yet unfinished by successive Lab/LibCon/Con Govts middle classes to the same poverty level and thus the concept of being poor would be redefined, finally all will be equal and there will be peace.Comment
