As work gets more efficient the coop members benefit rather than suffering.
We can satisfy both the conservative and the progressive. It doesn't have to be done necessarily through redistributionism or government intervention, and as soon as you are a member of these 8 utility industry coops -- you will basically have no need for govt and can eliminate taxes.
We don't need Jobs. We need to have access to the things that are needful.  We need to organize into community coops that deal in farming, medical clinics and education.  If you study the economy it is almost pure fluff. Insurance makes nothing, other than telling you how risky something is. Finance makes nothing. The Welfare system produces nothing. The correctional system produces very little, the military and intelligence services produce nothing. The US could easily negotiate lasting world peace lay off 90% of its military and still be a big bruiser for a long time.  Especially if the Occupy Wall Street Movement and the Arab Awakening movement along with Russia China Brazil and India develop constructive engagement.
Drug dealing produces little. The Psychiatrist has an incentive for his patient to stay on drugs or he loses a client so to the jailer the welfare administrator.
Advertisting produces little. With the internet and Wikipedia -- we do not need to be informed of new products. Television produces little -- it is a shadow of its former self.

A network of community coops that has as there stated goal delivering the service with the lowest possible overhead to its members --would allow people to have all that is needful with ¼ time work, once it is up and running. Then people could spend the other 3/4s of their time either going fishing, exercising, doing craftsmanship, building beautiful infrastructures, doing academic or artistic or scientific research.
Look at teaching today. Why do we have 1 million people every day repeating the same lecture -- when we could create interactive online self paced learning, with teachers doing  1 on 1 and small group work instead of doing what a single video recording could accomplish once, a million times a year every year.
We need to eliminate employment -- and have people have equity shares in their community industries.
