   From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" is a   
   seductive slogan. But it's merely a slogan. It does not conform to human   
   behavior. Many people rationalize a Common Good which does not exist. People   
   tell themselves they seek    
   equality. Workers may 'strike' for higher wages in the name of 'equality'. But   
   they never strike to lower wages for equality. They decry someone else's   
   higher profits but never their own higher wages. Yet both profits and wages   
   make stuff more expensive    
   for customers including the poor....When some societal issue is said to be a   
   ‘collective responsibility’ you can be sure who ever says it doesn’t   
   want to be responsible. Once responsibility is delegated to someone else it is   
   no longer a    
   responsibility. When shifted to someTHING else like a ‘collective’ you   
   expect a 'thing' to be responsible - an impossibility. Caring can’t be   
   legislated, nor can effort be decreed.
