Z,
And you have every single one of your basic needs far since met.

Implied in that argument is the notion that government is entitled to a sizable portion of income above a threshold that meets an average person's "basic needs."

Hence, there is little room to save, little room to invest, little room to bequeath, little room to do anything but trust government to lay out the future of society.

What's really funny is that, in your vision of an ideal society, one's "basic needs" would be fulfilled by government services, which essentially puts that income threshold at zero. Makes me wonder who can ever work for something that he or she can call his own.
