@wolvoman80 - there are a few false premises in your theory unfortunately.

  1. The "governing body" solutions you proposed are actually quite novel, and could work with some refinement. Unfortunately there is a problem here - not all services out there have the same volume of participation. There are fewer doctors than teachers out there for instance. If all bodies are equal in their pay, then if there are more employees in a given sector, they will get a smaller cut of their economic pies than other sectors.
  2. Wage caps are a disincentive to perform to the best of your ability. Why bother working hard if you won't get any value directly for it?
  3. A fully informed society would require unbiased and unopinionated news, full disclosure, etc. With any state, secrecy is needed to handle corruption.
  4. The source of corruption is power. States are a focal point of power. Ergo, using a state to govern will cause corruption eventually, without exception. This is both a logical and empirical truth throughout history.
