George Orwell, 2084

One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results. -Milton Friedman, economist, Novel laureate (1912- )

Back in 2001 the world was shaken by a terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City. What followed was a world at war against terrorists. Many freedoms were lost over the years. On the tenth anniversary of the World Trade Center attack, 9/11/2011, world Commissar Committees on Equality came up with the finally procedure for making the world a fair and balance place to live.

The committees decided to divide up all the arable surface land of the earth and give each citizen of the world a plot of land. This plot of arable land equaled to two acres of land for every citizens.

Next the committees decided to make everyone beneficiaries of the natural resources of the world. All natural resources were pooled into a world corporation and each citizen received and equal number of shares.

Everyone was wealthy and relaxed. Many poor people married and combined their resources. Soon families and groups combined their resources. Some people sold their land and shares to purchase the vices that have tempted humans since Eve ate the forbidden fruit. These people began to live in poverty.

The Commissar Committees gathered in 2084 to decide how to help the poor people. They decided it would only be fair for those who had resources to share with those who did not, so they created an income tax. They decided it would be best to tax the white males the highest rate since they were the ones who benefited the most by the work of the minorities during the past centuries. Some white males had profited by buying assets of others since the time the Commissar Committees had divided up the world.

The income tax failed to eliminate the problems of the poor so the Commissar Committees decided to tax all income at a 100% rate and distribute the money to the best uses. Soon no one was working, just waiting for their check from the Commissar Committees.

During the 100th anniversary of the World Trade Center attack, 9/11/2101, the World commissar Committees declared and emergency, saying the earth was cooling. This cooling was caused by humans, humans who would not produce babies. Since the world population is declining the world is cooling. The chair of the World Commissar committees, Osaka Abdul kumbawa, the latest hermorphite to declare his lifestyle, said there needed to be more babies. More babies would create global warming and a balance would be attained by the committees' policies. Therefore they set rules that would allow flexible hours for female workers and provide universal day care.

This lack of productivity also caused the Commissar Committees to decide some were stronger and more capable of work than others. The committees decided the white males should work more because they had benefited in the past from the work of slaves and other minorities the white males had conquered. All white males were therefore assigned to specific industries and work details. Only the members of the Commissar Committees lived happily everafter.
