Don't you want your country to be the best it can be? Go watch or read Oliver Twist and you'll understand what a caste society lives like. The funny thing is if this country worked by the standards you put forward not only would millions of people live in complete poverty but you would more than likely be one of them.

Do you realize that 15% of the population earns 85% of the income in this country. My guess you're not part of the elite 15%. They would own the water, roads, food, land, and the laws. Pretty much they would control the entire commons/ infrastructure, which allows us to function as a society. You would save a few dollars but would live in a two-class system without almost any chance of going from the bottom to the top.
