Could a tier based economic system work?
This type of economic system would consist of multiple tiers of employment based on how difficult and how much education is required to obtain the position. For example, you could have 10 tiers where a crossing guard or other low educated positions would be tier 1 and doctors, lawyers and other longer educated professions would be tier 10.
Your tier would appear on an ID, for example, your driving license. This would give you access to certain goods and would determine how big of a house, how nice of a car and how many goods you could obtain each week or month. All goods would be "free" in a sense, yet you still must work for them.
Unemployed people would be Tier 0 and there would need to be a special tier for the disabled. Services would still be provided as the people running them would be somewhere in the tier system. Whatever service or good that was in demand could have the tier raised to make sure enough people were providing that service or good.
The purpose of a system like this would be to prevent corruption and to more evenly distribute "wealth". It could also lower crime despite the fact that goods could still be used in place of money to pay for things. It would make it more difficult at the very least. Selling illegal items such as drugs, for example, would require people to trade drugs for other goods. Getting caught with goods above your tier level would indicate illegal activity.
What would be the issues with this type of economic system?
Would there be enough goods and services to go around?
Would the pros outweigh the cons or vice-versa?
