Scarcity is a real issue. What’s the point of redistributing wealth when some will be more productive and then live within their means, while others won’t and will reproduce until they can’t provide for their children. It may not be the same people afterwards, but it’d be the same result. So how would that be any more fair or facilitate prosperity any more than what we’re doing now?

- collyw 6y agoI worked for a German company in Austria in my early 20's. I lived more or less pay check to pay check (also happened to be they best years of my life). Sine then I have worked reasonably hard, and created a career for myself. I don't enjoy my work like I did in those days. I am not rich, but I don't worry about money. What would you suggest gets done?
- f6v 6y agoWhat you describe is anecdotal. As my German teacher once said: "If you're homeless in Germany, you really want to be homeless". I've never been to US, but watching "Invisible People" on YouTube helps to paint a picture.
