The point is that we should all be deciding what we all need.

To your point, who are the very wealthy to decide who needs what all on their lonesome?

Gently, there. There's a big difference in practical outcome between "we've all decided that we need fairer rules" and "we've all decided that we need your stuff".

That's part of why the US isn't actually a democracy. There is wisdom in limiting people's ability to "decide what we all need".

I just decided you don't need your car. Could you have it boxed up and shipped over to me? Thanks.
