The only reason there's more than enough to go around is people work for the betterment of their own life. If you disconnect the link between work and material comfort that simple, undeniable fact will no longer be fact.

The disconnect is already there, any 5 year old already understands that stealing a comic book at the comic book store is better than paying for it. And more and more people are resorting to it at every level of society

Tou've said it perfectly.

Last time when link between work and material comfort was disconnected was communism.

It looked good on paper from 1920's perspective, but was a downward spiral.

If we are to be functioning society, people need motivation to do their best ... and then, there's some spare wealth for the unfortunate.
