OK, steem and real life are different animals.

I strongly disagree. The principles of "community property" apply, regardless of how "hypothetical" or "practical" the application may be.

Imagine a city in the desert.

The city has a central well. Actually, it's a cistern.

The cistern is refilled once a week.

Citizens who invest in "cistern-corp" get a daily share of water proportional to their investment, the more you invest, the larger your daily share.

Citizens can give this daily share to others, or to themselves.

Citizens CAN be bribed and or bullied into giving their daily share to specific individuals.

Citizens can create posts on which to hang collection buckets.

The posts with the fullest buckets grow taller and are therefore visible to more citizens, attracting more attention and receive more contributions.

At the end of the seven day cistern cycle, any water that has not been distributed, or that has fallen through the grid-floor (below minimum contributions) gets dolled out to the tallest posts, with the tallest post getting the largest cut of the "leftover-pie" and any post with less than 20 droplets gets no additional cut of the "leftover-pie".

This system is fair because it gives the most to the (good-smart) rich and nothing to the (evil-dumb) poor.

This system is fair because instead of giving everyone a boost proportional to their investment, it gives MORE to the rich and STEALS from the poor.
