These people don’t have the common sense to just not drink random water from unknown sources.

Plenty of people work hard, innovate, or take risks and still feel squeezed by costs and uneven rewards, a few points on the mechanics:
Innovation and capital investment often start with someone risking resources for a return, but the results (new tech, cheaper goods, better tools) have massively expanded what workers can produce and consume. Smartphones, logistics, energy abundance, and medical progress didn’t come from central mandates; they scaled through markets and delivered huge consumer surplus even to non-owners.
Hard work matters, but wages in competitive settings track productivity plus bargaining power. Real median weekly earnings have been relatively stable-to-rising in recent years (hovering around $373–376 in constant dollars recently), and total compensation including benefits has often tracked or exceeded prior business-cycle trends. The bigger drags on living standards lately are housing, healthcare, and education costs—frequently worsened by supply restrictions and regulation, not pure ‘free markets.’
Free markets here are already heavily modified. We run a mixed economy with extensive rules. The real distortions often come from cronyism (subsidies, barriers to entry, bailouts, occupational licensing) that protect incumbents rather than open competition. More genuine competition tends to pressure wages and prices toward value created.
On ‘basic requirements’ and redistribution: The US already has a thick layer of these through law and policy. FLSA sets minimum wage, overtime, and child-labor rules. OSHA enforces workplace safety. NLRA protects organizing and collective bargaining. Add EEOC anti-discrimination rules, unemployment insurance, workers’ comp, FMLA, and state-level standards. On the redistribution side, we run large-scale programs—Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, EITC, SNAP, etc.—funded by a progressive tax system. These are paid for by the taxable output of the private economy.
Labeling the whole system a ‘failed experiment’ understates how market-oriented frameworks (private property, trade, price signals) drove the largest reductions in global extreme poverty in history—over a billion people lifted since the 1990s, much of it via growth reforms in places like China and East Asia. The US still leads in innovation output and maintains high absolute living standards, even while facing real problems with affordability, debt, and opportunity.
What concrete ‘basic requirements’ and redistribution tools are you proposing? How do we preserve incentives for work, risk-taking, and efficient resource use while addressing the gaps you see?”
Long winded post, but yeah.
