It's kind of amazing that from the moment you're born, you are having to pay to live. Well, at first it's your parents paying, but don't worry... 18 years and you'll owe the government. Now I understand "in theory" why we must pay taxes, but hasn't the cost of living gotten a little out of hand? It seems that the majority of problems stem from money and the desire to have it. What happened to the good 'ol days where people used to barter services, skills, and excess products? I scratch your back, you scratch mine; right?...
You're telling me that money, a paper representation of an amount of gold, means so much to the purpose of life? Just because it is rare, we must base our lives around it and it's pursuit. If we all were concerned with having the best we can have, then working together is the best way. If our goal was to help everyone achieve an acceptable standard of living and beyond that working to provide and use specialized skills for the benefit of all instead ones-self, that would be the end of war, countries, hate, and most importantly money.
In a perfect world......
