It never was productive.

 

Couldn't have said it better. I had my ways and believed I was among the smartest individuals walking the face of the Earth when I was 18. Needless to say, I had more than a few things to learn about life.

 

Here, you are putting words in our mouths and saying exactly opposite of what we've stated about freedom. People can manage themselves. They can pick what jobs they want to do or be their own bosses. Many choose to have a boss because they don't want the headaches and difficulties of running their own company. Others choose to be their own bosses for many reasons. Each is a personal choice right now. We decide, not government.

You're saying that society will run fine because everyone will be in a job they like and choose. Not always the case. Without financial incentive and reward jobs will go undone. People will say, "Why should I do this job where I get dirty and sweaty when I can do the job I please." There will be many positions that will never be filled and things will break down on both a small scale and countrywide. Why would someone in charge of a potentially dangerous job like cutting down trees do it if the pay wasn't there? Why risk your life for someone else to have the wood to build their house? On a large scale who's going to run a huge company that produces the cars we need and be responsible for the decisions that effect millions of people?

We take jobs because we choose to and/or have need to. That's life. No one, unless you enlist, is telling you that you have to take this job, like it or not. Reality may push you into something you don't care for but you still have the freedom to decide if you want to take a job with certain pay and benefits. If you don't want to work for a living you can make that choice but sooner or later you've got to feed yourself.

 

We're only saying EXPERIENCE outweighs fine sounding words that fly in the face of the reality we've seen. We see that a job, well done, earns us benefits and rewards. Both of which we would not, and should not expect if we don't make an effort. We've seen peoples' ways and have watched how people react to certain ideas and circumstances. The ideals you lay out, while appealing to some, will be taken advantage of by others. It's not your age so much as your lack of life experience, and the ideals you've spelled out that have caused us to respond. The people you speak of haven't even seen it work, yet you say it will. We've seen hundreds of years here in the US where we have seen what freedom can produce and the heights which a person can attain through hard work and a lot of effort. The ideas you're espousing are naive in that they don't take into account the basic nature of man. Self....

 

yes there are some very absurd things with such ideas
