Even 10% of us being co-ordinators and only 90% ofus actually doing productive things seems like a high tooth to tail ratio.
If .01% of us being in government were enough , exactly the minimum, that is what I would want , it would be the best streamlineing and effeciency to keep the most of us supporting rather than co-ordinateing , after all most of us can perform a good bit of our own co-ordinateing.
-=================================================
Those who actually PRODUCE in this country are a rather small minority.
Advertisers do not produce, realtors do not produce, salespeople do not produce. Clever people using craigslist could save a huge amount of their income if they were to simply buy from one another rather than through intermediaries.
Restaurants do not supply anything that people could not supply for themselves, and are therefore less than 100% productive. Educators produce a service the utility of which is very highly variable. Many students never find a use for much of what they have studied, though those who do find a use for it are responsible for most innovation.
Productive people are those who manufacture, assemble, repair, and distribute physical products., as well as those who plant, grow, harvest and distribute the food we eat and supply seed and fertilizer and such in support of agriculture.
The banking and insurance industries do not really have any products. They simply facilitate the distribution and flow of products and food to market in an uninterrumpted manner. They are essential, but their role is less than 100% productive.
The government, by defending the country, enforcing regulations, and the most of other things it does is at least as productive as the banking and insurance industries.
