Eliminating Corruption

If you pay politicians the equivalent to those on the private sector (e.g. consultants) then corruption would not be as rife.

The people who best utilise the means of production, to produce goods and services people are willing to pay for in a competitive free market, should own the means of production.

These are the nouveau riche and the aristocracy, people who attained their position through sheer merit and those who were groomed from infancy for the position. Don't like it? You can go right ahead and compete with them. Those who care more about their little social cliques than green only lose green, it's the sole reason why negros and women have equal rights. For capitalism is awesome, the invisible hand is always right.
