And so we can all live with what is deemed essential and doled out by the state? Guess what? I don't think that's better.

  Also there is a massive assumption that the person with the smart phone or fancy car is actually happy and fulfilled. That may or may not be true. There is a high degree of relativity in our feeling of contentment.

    > massive assumption that the person with the smart phone or fancy car is actually happy and fulfilled Never made this assumption. Quite the opposite, I'm saying the very fundamental basis to "happiness" is to have your basic needs covered at all times. Only then, you can start to build something on top.

  It might not be better for you, but it is for the great majority of the world's population. For this very reason, I want you to have everything you need to live with dignity. I don't care at all if you want more, if that means someone else is going to lack anything essential as a consequence.
