Oh, excuse me. Maybe you need a little help with what I said.

The second is a lot harder. Reciprocal economic relationships require a fair and free game that is often played without personal knowledge of the other person. Free markets are a good way of handling this as they deal with real human incentives based around self-interest. When people are free to make their own decisions, outcomes are often a lot more equal, as everyone gets a chance to produce at their own competitive advantage.

Seriously, human nature will always be in conflict with a communist style system. We function BEST when there is something in it for us.

Why would I go the extra mile when my hard work is going to reward some other person that I don't even know? Heck, why should I even work?

If we're presented with a system where our hard work results in benefits for US, chances are most of us will succeed
