I'd be happy with an admission/clarification of this being your ideal, fantasy, "if I were king of the world" world, not an actual world in which anyone would have to function. I can respect that, even if I don't agree with it. Because, pragmatically speaking, your plan sucks, especially if you aren't rich... or white (I can't overlook the racial undertones of social darwinism, sorry)
There are many successful & rich individuals who are quite wealthy & would most likely be advocates of such a system, who are not white. You're mistaking social Darwinism with ethnic cleansing I believe. I'm against Nationalism fully & find such abhorrent things utterly disgusting & contemptible. Though I'm guessing you're liberal, therefore, the race card being brought up does not shock me.
I bring up the race issue, because it is a viable issue in this discussion. If we were to wake up tomorrow and simply have no government, instead the system which you propose, it would negatively impact racial minorities to a greater extent than whites. That is a valid assertion. Sure, Herman Cain would have no problem going about his daily life, but lots of other African Americans, Latinos, and other minorities would suffer in greater numbers than average white Americans in your proposed scenario.
