"Within the new economic paradigm, as much as possible, human effort would be devoted to education, leisure, skills training, and, hopefully, only the occasional problem solving venture. "
Wake & bake, huh? Oh and Farmville, with the occasion problem-solving venture to JewelQuest.

in medieval times the horseshit was so high, those cupolas were on the ground floor
so if you marry a rich guy you nag him to give away everything extra?
u run the Olympic Games the same way you ran Ireland
when we had the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics and made it a showcase of patriotic pride after 9/11 nobody thought it rude to complain the Olympics didn't just belong to the host nation but to the world
" The poor are poor not because they don't work, but because the work they do does not afford them the fulfillment of their basic needs."
Then they need to find different work.
will become world famous for demanding the cannonball be an Olympic dive
How is that the "only alternative"? Higher taxes do absolutely nothing to "clean up the mess". It would have been better all things considered to let these loser banks fail totally, and then help create clean ones run by experienced underlings who a) are getting a career break of a lifetime and b) know how the last crew ran it into a ditch.
Instead we tell the same jerks who blew it, go ahead, you're too important to punish with dissolution. Sooner or later we'll get tired of it, and we'd have saved a bundle if it were sooner.
But higher taxes won't remove them - in fact it will do the opposite, let them pretend they're "good citizens"
"The newly released Chicago Crime Commission publication, "The Gang Book 2012", conveyed a startling statistic that Chicago has more gang members than any other city in the United States: 150,000 members[1] Traditionally Los Angeles County was considered the Gang Capital of America, with an estimated 120,000 (41,000 in the City) gang members[2]; Nevertheless, Chicago actually has a higher rate of gang membership per capita than Los Angeles; and also the state of Illinois has a higher rate of gang membership (8-11 gang members per 1,000 population) than California (5-7 gang members per 1,000 population).[3] There were at least 30,000 gangs and 800,000 gang members active across the USA in 2007.[4][5] About 900,000 gang members lived "within local communities across the country," and about 147,000 were in U.S. prisons or jails in 2009.[6] By 1999, Hispanics accounted for 47% of all gang members, Blacks 31%, Whites 13%, and Asians 6%.[7]"

And I give you the substantive argument that Belgium isn't California, you don't have our crime rate and don't have as much risk of personal injury in your own home as we do.

no see we are told a Free Market will provide each person the means to satisfy a hypothetical family of their own choosing
so this must mean that prices are personalized...I can't very well feed my 15 kids (to come) if I have to pay as much as a guy who only wants 3 more kids.
So that's the example -- a melon vendor who wants 4 kids, with a customer who wants 4 kids, a customer who wants 2 kids and a mysterious customer who wont say how many kids he wants or what kind of money he has.
What's the price of a melon?
No!
Batman wants a melon! It's hot outside! How much is it?
me: 0 kids
Pain: 2 so far
you son of a bitch! YOURE THE POTHOLES!
/swings at Einstein
oops forgot to 
When Poor Joe, who wants to have 4 kids, goes to get a melon from Poor Jim, who wants to have 4 kids, whose kids get the benefit of a greater value in the exchange?
If the next guy in line is Poor Steve, who only wants 2 kids, does he pay a higher price than Poor Joe to help Poor Jim's bigger family?
What if Batman is the next guy, and he refuses to discuss family plans or current income. Does he get thrown out?
No central authority, just a free market... how's it work
How will the Free market move enough resources to someone based on the children they would like to have in the future? Increased prices demanded by potential parents? Isn't that inflationary?

No it refers to the scaly skin of the sort of whore who hangs around the parking lots of truck stops
"current central Authority"
What's the name of this central authority, and
when you say current, do you mean you would replace it with a different central authority?
