Problem relative to what other system. As far as systems that exist, Democratic capitalism with a social safety net has produced less starvation per capita than any other socioeconomic system that has actually existed. Most stories of people attempting to implement a hand-wavey utopia have results where the human dead measure in millions. At this point theoretical Utopia's meet the standard of extraordinary claims, and consequently they require extraordinary evidence. How does this alternate system of yours work? Can people read what they want to read? Can people work where they want to work? Do companies get revenues based on how successful their products are? If all three of those things are true your premise is basically violated as far as I can tell. I don't like breaking any of those 3 things as I see the first 2 as fundamental rights and the third as the main successful way to reward creating actual value for real humans.

So I guess we can abolish congress then?

Democracy contains a fundamental assumption that society is continually evolving. You're putting a lot of words in my mouth here. I don't think our current system is perfect, that does not mean I want to institute a dystopian centrally managed society. It means I understand the basic concepts of democracy, and nuance.

I don't think our current levels of wealth inequality are healthy or sustainable. Personally I'd like to see a wealth tax where you pay for the portion of the national economy you hold.
