Big Projects are the first benefit of large government. Things like space travel, research grants, etc. Whenever somebody talks about how great an empire was it always includes a description of its large projects: dams, buildings, tech, war machines, science, financial systems etc.It's difficult to establish so much trust in government but could be of great benefit.
I think it can be done. We just need to invent a way to extend the power of government oversight while keeping ourselves in charge of it.
It's a battle between sheep and wolves of whether it could work I agree.Yeah right.
History is full of examples of that.
We can be thankful that The People are a unified monolithic hive, otherwise your suggestion could never work out well.
Its automatic. Some kind of algorithm. Actually some of the darndest threads get featured, sometimes; but yours is pretty interesting.Thank you RF for featuring my thread.
That will be a pipe dream.I think it can be done. We just need to invent a way to extend the power of government oversight while keeping ourselves in charge of it.

Whomever is in control will be the ones pulling the strings in every case. It's a clear-cut road to totalitarianism.
I'm trying to think about it.That will be a pipe dream.

I've said enough already.That’s good to hear.
Do you ever watch Futurama ? The episodes with Mother ?
It is Mother who is selling you the idea that you should always provide her with a spare set of keys to your house, and all your passwords.
Over the last 25 years I have observed that Mother has been formenting a lot of trouble all over the world. She invented Global Terrorism, and supports it via subsidiaries of Mother Inc.
She is in the protection racket.
Government should provide both life and freedom, and a lot of other things if it's good.
Yes but as the population goes up government's job gets harder.We provide that for ourselves.
Government is there to ensure that whilst doing that we are not subject to coercion and threat, and to represent the will of the community regarding laws and administration.
Government has increasingly become the tool of Big Business.
War is also a tool of Big Business.
“Insert cash to restrain hammer”
No, that's a crackpot idea. It's no business of the government what I spend my money on unless it's criminal. It's like conducting full-scale surveillance on all aspects of a person in hopes of stopping them before they commit a crime. It's like Minority Report.Imagine if everyone knew not only how much money you had, but what you were spending it on.
Would charity increase? Would good people be able to be helped better when they were in trouble?
Again, please quote my post if you want me to reply.

Would love to analyze that tomorrow.Jesus said 'to give in secret knowing your Father in heaven sees'
This was because we should not be motivated by recognition from others.
Jesus also said let your light so shine that men might see your works and glorify your father in heaven. It boils down to motive, giving glory to God not yourself.
The sad part is every passing decade it seems to be getting closer and closer to realization of a real version of Minority Report. Science fiction becomes reality. I would guess within the next century, if nothing changes direction, it'll be realized.No, that's a crackpot idea. It's no business of the government what I spend my money on unless it's criminal.
