Why should we structure our society so that, for the
average person, self-sacrifice is the only way to
survive, much less get ahead?
So, we should structure our society so that you can get ahead without sacrifice? Do you get to be ahead of me or do I get to be ahead of you? I just want to be clear which of us gets ahead of the other one, what with neither one of us sacrificing anything.
And what exactly is going to make that tide rise? Nothing is free -- everyone has to work. We have to sacrifice our time and energy to survive and have some comforts. There's no way around that one.
Sure, everyone has to trade time and energy to obtain their needs and wants. That doesn't mean that the details of the transaction as they stand now are justified.
