or Joe lives in society where education is seen as a basic human right and everyone no matter where they are from has access to the same levels of education and therefore all people have a level playing field.
If the free market truly was free then this would be the scenario that all people could start from.

thats exactly the point i am trying to get across.... look even if joe gets his scholarships he still has to try MUCH harder then the other rich ivy league kid... even though joe is more intelligent... does this really make sense?? you are calling me out on a technicality there yes joe could goto Community college and maintain a super high gpa... but does the rich ivy league joe have to do this???? the answer is NO my point in all of this is not that joe is unable too go too medical school.. its just that joe has to be nearly perfect in his studies in order to do so.. while ivy leage joe parties all day and night and barely studies the other joe works his but off.....why???? in the end because of MONEY

Its a freer market because everyone has a level playing field and not have advantages just because they were lucky enough to be born into the right family.
All of humanity should have the basic rights of
a) Food and water
b) a home
c) education
d) medical care
e) freedom of choice.
Under our current systems no one has these rights - these rights are determined by where and to whom you are born.
Its a travesty of our current society that 10% of the world own 85% of the wealth.
I would gladly finance out of my taxes all of the above human rights.

Everyone in Europe pretty much has access to free healthcare - I don't see Europe being full of lazy people - that is such an uninformed argument

I rest my case Fox news - that in itself is an oxymoron.
