  • It just shouldn’t be limited to farming.

    Think of all the things you currently pay for. How much of that do you expect to be provided for you while you do nothing in return?

    Garbage collection, water, electric, and yes, housing and food.

    The idea seems to be that all these kinds of things would be provided, and you only have to work enough to buy your Xbox.

    We’re not children and the government isn’t your parents.

    I do think there should be more of a balance between these things. It is in everyone’s interest to provide really basic housing, even if just to keep the homeless off the streets.

    But we also all have to work.

    How much of your 40 hour work week do you think gets absorbed by the billionaires? I expect for most people it’s much less than half.

    We should be able to handle healthcare, education, maybe minimal housing, meals on wheels was a great program. But we don’t want half of our people to just stop working. Your life requires upkeep, and that can’t all come from other people.
