This statement is so problematic, that it scares me to
think that anyone could possibly accept it at face value.  
First, if noting else, it's the GROSS National Product.  
So I'm assuming that you're also proposing to distribute debt
as well?  Not to mention that the two largest experiments in
Marxism have failed.  Perhaps you could give an example
of a society that successful equalized class levels and
incomes?
