    Let the hammer be and help John become something else.

Beautifully put.

This is what intensive reading on the subject of capitalism, socialism, communism and economic theory has taught me: In a capitalist system, efficiency will always be used to increase productivity. Productivity never benefits the worker. If you want to benefit the worker, you need to curb your capitalism.

I'm beginning to come to the conclusion that the best compromise between the economic extremes is a capitalist economy governed by socialists.
