In the same way that capitalism has been tried and failed because you can't remove greed from the human condition. Someone will always take advantage of their position and grab more than they deserve leaving the less able or unfortunate with less than they deserve. The downside to communism appears to be stagnation/reduced competitiveness which in a global society is less of an issue than it used to be when states used to compete with each other.

US CTO Choice Down To a Two-Horse Race 284
theodp writes "Barack Obama apparently didn't return CmdrTaco's call. BusinessWeek reports that the choices for the first US CTO have narrowed, and it's now a two-horse race between Padmasree Warrior, Cisco's CTO, and Vivek Kundra, who holds the same title for the Government of the District of Columbia. Two very different resumes — which would you advise Obama to pick?" I just know I was #3 on the list.
