> I actually just think every person should have their basic survival provided for efficiently by society

Define basic survival. Tantalum mine worker in the Congo who earns 22 cents per hour and raises his three children on that money, is he under "basic survival" level or below?

And to be clear, as a part of a society, are you ready to forgo your salary, except maybe 1 dollar per hour, to provide to other people? Why haven’t you done it yet?

> Define basic survival.

The amount of money that current local economy can provide to everybody sustainably, given the appropriate arrangements in the system.
