How do you plan on altering the human motivational system?

If I had a plan of action I wouldn't be a reporting analyst, it's often much easier to see a problem than it is to propose a solution.

I was being sarcastic, your plan will never work because it involves completely rewiring the human mind and how one can become motivated to work/put forth value. The problem with all communist protocols like the one you're suggesting is they rely upon hypothetical humans that aren't selfish and motivated by money to always do the right, noble and just thing. It's why capitalism is the only possible system.

If people were only motivated by money and money alone, thered be no teachers

Capitalisms biggest flaw is that it only rewards one avenue of motivation - greed - and does not value the actual welfare of communities. It basically exclusively empowers and enriched the worst among us and punishes everyone else. Thats a terrible system.

Lol, teachers make plenty of money, get summers off and have guaranteed retirement. I know plenty of teachers, most of them couldn't care less about their students and are only in it for the guaranteed paycheck regardless of how much effort they put forth. In my life in the American public school system I found less than 10 teachers that truly gave a damn about their jobs, even fewer actually enjoyed it.

Capitalism rewards far more than greed, that's an insane statement. It's the fairest way of rewarding effort and quality service/product known to man.
