I think what you're talking about is a system which doesn't use wealth to determine the provision of things like education, health, housing or arguably energy and transport. It may use it to determine non-essential aspects of those things like first class or a private room, but the service itself is available to all regardless of income. People can be independently wealthy in such a system, but what they spend their wealth on is not those things. To an extent this system has existed in the UK, but is being dismantled by those who assert that the rich should not pay in taxes for things that they do not benefit from because if the poor wanted those things badly enough they would become wealthy enough to pay for them. In a weird way, you therefore are a Communist - since that is what this logic demands: that everyone achieves the wealth necessary to pay for everything while the state steps back from this role. |
