A libertarian's authoritarian wet-dream. The post assumes that producers and consumers are disjoint i.e. one is either a consumer, or one is a producer. There's no acknowledgement that it's possible to produce in one context and consume in another, or that last year one produced and this year one consumed. It reeks of a religious argument - the saved and the damned. Even the admission that consumers (freeloaders?) will always exist and need to be treated with dignity smells of an annoying paternalism.
