   Yes the world and nation and society all morphed into some things   
   entirely different, as did our economy from agrarian and light   
   industrial into the consumer free for all it is now.   
      
   But in any service-heavy economy there is a need for paying for said   
   services.   
      
   Go on then - solve for income, maybe even use sin taxes to pay for all   
   retirement health care?   
      
   Astound me - propose something more than gripes.
