Are you suggesting that a parasitic arrangement, where some group of people only consume goods/services that others have produced, without contributing anything themselves is better?
What if the jobs paying decent wages disappear?

Full employment isn't millions of people flippin burgers, which will go automated. Checkout tills are going automated, cleaners now sit on a machine and do the jobs of 5. And so on. Examine the clothes you wear, America once had a thriving clothing manufacturing industry.



Your theory is 20 years out of date.
