Radix malorum est cupiditas.

I think a resource-based economy is a good idea, but some monetary token will be used. Not letting that be engineered through fiat money is a good idea.

I think we should revisit the idea of the bell curve:

IQ <75 75-90 90-110 110-125 >125
US population distribution 5 20 50 20 5

(That won't format well; you can see the original here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bell_Curve )

5% of society have the ability for advanced education. I would prefer a meritocracy here.

Most people don't benefit from college unless their IQ is above 115. Why are so many people going to college? I dunno... a lot of it has to do with needing a college degree for many basic jobs now, aaaand thousands of H1-B people who have degrees. Can't hire someone without a degree over someone with a degree and not get called a racist, sexist, homophobe, etc.

What I would rather see is a government that subsidizes those who can do well in a field to get the education they need, and spends zero of its time on failed lives (drug addicts of serious drugs, the chronic welfare poor, democratic politicians, etc).

We need natural selection. Society is dysgenic. No amount of dicking around with The System is gonna fix us drowning in idiots.
