I think you might have not been down voted as much if you had written less sarcastically and with more practical solutions (versus ideological). The solutions you are offering are so general that by following this high-level point of view we can solve world peace, world energy and world poverty and still make the evening tea.
You see HN is mostly a community of "doers", and though the ideas you presented might have merit among circles of people who.. discuss big ideas (for the lack of a better description), a community of doers says and does things they can actually attempt doing today, tomorrow, or in a week with a reasonable probability of success. I am not attacking you, just trying to explain why I think you're being down-voted.
