96. Cart before the horse
For everyone to have "plenty to eat, safe shelter,
reasonable medical care, afforable educational opportunities
to better themselves, and some sense of security", won't this require a significant increase in revenue to the government? If the answer to this question is "yes", don't you then bump right back into the issue of equitable division of income?

I agree there are some arrogant S.O.B.s among the wealthy. I also agree that there are certain industries where some level of government involvement are appropriate. What I don't understand is how can you have "capitalist solutions" with capitalists?
