If a paycheck is good enough for 99% of us, it’s good enough for all of us! (As there isn’t nor will there ever be enough ‘market share’ for us all to run our own little gig.)

Good luck with your book!

Is there a section on politburos?

I will answer that with a resounding YES! Do you know that in the former Deutsche Demokratische Republik there was nearly 100% employment? And did you also know that, not only were there egalitarian institutions and policies, the entire state-concept was the embodiment of egalitarian principles: the so-called Arbeiter-und-Bauern-Staat otherwise known as the Worker and Farmer State.

Everybody was equal and always employed, except for the Asozialen or asocials, as they were called, who usually spend their days presenting their shabby selves in front of stores or other public places, swilling bier from brown colored .5L bottles and shouted rude paroles at passers-by. Incorrigibles they were!

But for the rest of society, egalitarianism was serious business. Did you know that co-workers were routinely sent to absent colleagues’ homes to monitor their activities? Do you know about the Stasi? Just think, an absent worker could indicate a serious problem, like a potential foil to the socialist state apparatus.

Even the beloved leader was a confirmed Egalitarian. Erich Honecker rose from his modest beginnings as a roofer apprentice—a real man of the proletariat–to become the leader of the Soviet Union’s country exemplar, East Germany. And do you know that when his tenure was over, in 1989, there wasn’t a roof to be found that didn’t leak. I wonder why.

But despite my strong free-market support, I think income inequality is a big issue — copyright should probably no longer be gov’t enforced.
