Two Steps to Varn-Ashram:

Varn-Ashram is the Indian caste system, you have workers, businessmen, rulers and priests.

If you go to the Hare Krishna, you'll probably hear them talking about how it is such a solution, the solution, and of course theirs are the only priests, there's no power share with the Christians and the like.

But let's discuss the merits of the transition points, 1) to run for office you must belong to the military. 2) your tax rate is based on your assets.


Then you have Varn-Ashram.

What do you think? Would it clean house? Would it pay the bills?

I don't think it could possibly pay the bills. Government is a bureaucracy and bureaucracies constantly expand. Bureaucracies and expansion are causally linked and will inevitably grow far beyond what is necessary. There is no natural limit.
