Oh, clever, you went for the most successful marketing in the history of mankind - selling socialism.

  It may sound like it but I didn't name a specific political solution. I believe that what we have now is a horrible form of crony corporate socialism-capitalism hybrid; it literally borrows the worst parts of all systems. I think capitalism based on a hard-money system with a small government with 0% income and sales taxes would be better than what we have now. Private moneys and cryptocurrencies would be allowed and encouraged (not having income or sales tax would greatly aid adoption IMO as it would remove the need for accounting for tax purposes). Import tariffs would be the only acceptable taxes. Given the current state of technology, I also think a communist or socialist system with some limited ownership rights (e.g. a family would be allowed to own the house they live in and a single small business) could work too. Corporations would be state-owned, passive shareholding would be outlawed. I think either approach would be way better than what we have now.

    >I think capitalism based on a hard-money system with a small government with 0% income and sales taxes would be better than what we have now I would add property taxes to the list. The root of many gvt evils stem from income tax, sales tax and property tax.
