I am all for receiving free stuff and not having to pay for it. The only problem is that is impossible (unless you are a nordic country where the government owns the black gold pumping industry. (even then its not sustainable))

There is more than enough money to go around in the US. Just look at the wealth controlled by the top 1%. The only question is whether will we have a John Galt type of situation or not. A lot of people contend that this myth is total bullshit and Ayn Rand was an idiot.
Money doesn’t do anything except direct the flow of labor and resources. Which labor are you going to take away and what are you going to take raw resources away from? What are you going to redirect them to do?
