<<<Think of a country as being like a shareholding in a company. One doesn't just decide to get a free citizenship and is therefore given ownership in a company. One has to buy a share. One could also work for the company and buy shares in the company or be given stock options. The company doesn't just give away free shares to anyone who decides they want to work for the company [or merely occupy the lunch room and not actually work].>>> Companies that work as you may envision are normally relatively small. They can coast along for a while after the guiding genious is gone. After that they become a big bureaucracy just like any small(tiny) country. Companies today are lucky if they are in business 50 years after founding. Singapore comes closest to a small business model. The place is clean, has a good transportation system, and many of it's citizens are productive. But when did Singapore give us any advances to civilization? Does the place rock? Who wants to live in Singapore? I'm sorry, but we are not ready for Mauriceland<GGGG>. We are not ready to model society after the musings of a Curmudgeon. It would most likely have disastrous results.
