STEEM CITY WATER WARS
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.
Perhaps anarchy already exists and "THE COMMUNITY" is merely the highest manifestation of organized crime. – special thanks to @thoughts-in-time

Your scathing critique is requested.
Oh, yeah, I'm not going to buck you on this one.
Fact of the matter is, I don't know that distribution
should be fair, or that unfair distribution should be
condoned. There's no PoB on Steem, i've proven it.
It's MOBSTER ETHICS.
Automatic self-voting should be the norm (if you don't vote at all, you get your share automatically added to your wallet). That way everyone gets a reward proportional to their own investment. Then people will only vote for posts they REALLY REALLY LIKE.
I have nothing against self voting, even if large stakeholders
do it. If that "breaks" the system, then the system is flawed.
I agree, when I first encountered the "self-voting" police, I knew something was fundamentally "upside-down".
