"We no longer have to hunt for our food and other basic
necessities of life. But we still have an "economy" where we
must accumulate "money" to "purchase" those necessities. We
call this the "market." The hunt has been replaced by the rat
race for money, but the rat race has now become as obsolete
as the hunt. Why can't we accept that?" -- Steve Mizrach
The terrocrats, bureaucraps, and impostors who masquerade
around calling themselves 'gubbnmint' are wage slaves too. And
if any class of wage slaves needs to be forever liberated from
wage slavery (via "The RICH Economy" -- RICH means Rising
Income through Cybernetic Homeostasis) it is these people,
IMO.
Aristotle predicted slavery would only be ended when machines
could be built that could run themselves. This is what "The
RICH Economy" (theorized by Bucky Fuller, Timothy Leary,
Robert Anton Wilson, etc.) is all about: using advanced,
emerging and future technology to have the machines run
themselves, forever liberating ALL wage slaves -- including
those who call themselves 'gubbnmint'.
"As Bucky Fuller says, the first thought of people, once they
are delivered from wage slavery, will be, "What was it that I
was so interested in as a youth, before I was told I had to
earn a living?" The answer to that question, coming from
millions and then billions of persons liberated from
mechanical toil, will make the Renaissance look like a high
school science fair or a Greenwich Village art show." -- RAW

President Hubbard's first step in establishing The RICH
Economy[1] was to offer a prize of $50,000 per year to any
worker who could design a machine that would replace him
or her. When the primate labor unions raised twenty-three
varieties of hell about this plan, Hubbard countered by
offering $30,000 a year to all other workers replaced by such
a machine. The rank-and-file union people fell into conflict
immediately, some accepting this as a fine idea (this group
consisting mostly of those earning less than twenty thou per
annum), and the leaders still hypnotized by the conditioned
and domesticated primate reflex that Employment was Good
and Unemployment was Bad.
While the unions squabbled among themselves and ceased
to present a unified front against the RICH scenario,
conservatives mounted a campaign against it on the grounds
that it was inflationary. Here Hubbard's political genius
showed itself. She made no effort to reason with the
intellectual conservatives, who were all theologians in
disguise. All corporation heads and other alpha males of the
right, however, were invited to a series of White House
multimedia presentations on how RICH would work for them.
The chief points in these presentations were that:
a machine works twenty-four hours a day, not eight -- thereby
tripling output immediately machines do not take sick leave
machines are never late for work machines do not form unions
and constantly ask for higher wages and more fringe benefits
machines do not take vacations machines do not harbor grudges
and foul up production in sneaky, undetectable ways
cybernation was advancing every decade, anyway, despite the
opposition of unions, government, and these alpha males; it
was better to have huge populations celebrating the reward of
$30,000 to $50,000 per year for group cleverness than huge
populations suffering the humility of welfare with production
rising due to both cybernation and the space-cities, consumers
were needed and a society on welfare was a society of very
meagre consumers.
The alpha males were still fighting among themselves about
whether this was "sound" or not when it squeaked through
Congress.
Within a year the first case of the new multi-inventive
leisure class appeared. This was a Cherokee Indian named
Starhawk, who had been an engine-lathe worker in Tucson. After
designing himself out of that job, Starhawk had gone on to
learn four other mechanical factory jobs, designed himself out
of each, and now had a guaranteed income of $250,000 a year
for these feats. He was now devoting himself to painting in
the traditional Cherokee style -- which was what he had always
wanted to do, back in adolescence, before he learned that he
had to work for a living.....
The majority of the unemployed, living comfortably on $30,000
a year, admittedly spent most of their time drinking booze,
smoking weed, engaging in primate sexual acrobatics, and
watching wall TV.
When moralists complained that this was a subhuman existence,
Hubbard answered, "And what kind of existence did they have
doing idiot jobs that machines do better?"[2]

[2]"People can spend only so much time fucking, smoking dope,
and watching TV; after a while they get bored. This is the
main psychological objection to the workless society, and the
answer to it is to educate people for functions more cerebral
than fucking, smoking dope, watching TV, or the idiot jobs
most are currently toiling at.
There are vast challenges and opportunities confronting us in
the next three or four decades, of which the most notable are
those highlighted in Tim Leary's SMI2LE slogan -- Space
Migration, Intelligence Increase, Life Extension. Humanity is
about to enter an entirely new evolutionary relationship to
space, time, and consciousness. We will no longer be limited
to one planet, to a brief, less-than-a-century lifespan, and
to the stereotyped and robotic mental processes by which most
people currently govern their lives. Everybody deserves the
chance, if they want it, to participate in the evolutionary
leap to what Leary calls "more space, more time, and more
intelligence to enjoy space and time."
