Well, in your scenerio the gov't runs everything....you should know their track record by now. A business owned by one individual can be run by him and his 6 employees. Take the same company in gov't hands and there would be 18 people doing the job and it won't be done right.

Then you have to think about incentive. Where is the incentive to create new products? To go the extra distance? Money motivates people...so the doctor and the toilet cleaner both earns the same wage...the company manager and the company receptionist both earn the same.....are the duties similar?
Why go on to higher education if you will make the exact same amount as someone who never finished high school? Why take the job that is stress ridden and challanging when you can sweep floors for the same amount? Society would basically fall apart in the U.S. citizens would go to other countries.

Take for example Canada. We put restrictions on the amount of $$ doctors could make here. So what happened? Most of the best left and moved to the U.S. where they could earn double what they earned here....and many Canadians had to wait forever to get into seeing a specialist.

When you get pregnant, you go to an OB/GYN, they take care of you and monitor you threw the 9 months. Where I lived we had TWO OB/GYN's for not only the city but surrounding areas...the population was about 350,000. There was obviously no way they could handle the load so patients had to see their family doctors instead...and you got ONE visit with the OB/GYN about a week before you were due...that is IF you went to your due date and IF he managed to make the appointment....which in most cases he missed because he was delivering a baby. Family doctors had not delivered or even taken care of pregnant women in years and they just didn't have the experience...babies were put at risk. I almost lost my last baby because I ran into complications during labor and he was busy trying to take care of 2 emergency C-sections and take care of 8 other women in labor. The 2 doctors were basically working 20 hour days, 7 days a week. So .....this post is way too long...but you get the picture...money motivates...take it away..you take away the motivation for most people.
