Bernie - Everything Free


Bernie, and his fellow Democrat debaters (see HERE) are on to something.


If free college education and healthcare are morally imperative, then so are all the other basic human needs-i.e. food, clothing, shelter, transportation, communication, and recreation,

Better still, by making everything free, people could afford whatever they want, they would no longer have to steal or embezzle or defraud or commit related crimes, and this would wipe out poverty and render everyone economically equal. Gone will be the ravages of income inequality, class distinction, envy, jealousy, or greed.

If you thought all this would be great, just imagine how EVERYTHING FREE would eliminate the need for income or jobs, thereby negating issues of income inequality or unemployment or paid leave or even minimum wage, etc.., rendering these kinds of naive memes irrelevant:



And, if there is no need for income and jobs, there would be no need for education, and all the money spent to provide free education could go to pay for all the other free stuff.


Besides, the liberals have assured us that the costs can be covered by rich people and greedy corporations, if not also the federal government, and that giving away free stuff actually helps the economy.

What could possibly be wrong with this?
