> the issue is an absolute lack of systems and personnel in government to meter and observe Ah yes, a bloated bureaucracy has always been the recipe for a flourishing economy. The US is still probably the most solid, wealthy and - compared to its peers - fast growing economy in the world. The lack of administrative meddling is what made the US the dream destination for all the most ambitious people around the world. A radical shift to jeopardize that is a terrible idea. I'm not from the US, but I'm glad different systems with different strengths exist. Even if only so we can compare how differences in e.g. amount of regulation etc affect a country overall.
