I've never read Rawls, but I like the utopian idea you put forth; I don't think we will need something quite so drastic. As we move toward a more chaotic world, the 97% will become less like the cattle then the 3% hope we will remain. My hope is that it won't take a total collapse to start making changes that will benefit us all.
