Do you have any opinions not driven by jealousy?
Everyone can walk off the Walmart locations, and ten million more will line up to fill the vacuum left behind. Millions of people are grateful for the Walmart jobs, the McDonalds jobs, etc. This country is so spoiled to think that work is beneath them...

Basic food, Basic shelter, healthcare, basic communications, basic clothes and basic transportation need to be universal, everything else is a luxury

As for work, once again, that's how people afford those luxuries. Trust me, more than enough people will choose to want luxuries to supply more than enough work to provide for both luxuries for themselves and the basic needs of everyone

I must be misunderstanding. Are you saying that those who want more than government housing and free food and internet are gonna have to go out and work for it, then you're gonna tax the ones who choose to work for their "luxuries" to provide the basics for those who choose to sit on their asses?
Isn't that exactly what we have now?
