And yet the need for labor changes.  In order for the elites to gather their ever increasing cut, the economy is producing unrequited stuff in order that the working man keeps employed enough to maintain a reasonable lifestyle.  Labor is not required as much as it was.  Thus, do we need the 40 hour work week and retirement age of 65?  Do we have to allocate resources that are getting ever rarer to stuff nobody needs?

A lot has to change for the new economy to be built back better.  A rethought exchange of labor for necessities is one of them.  Rewarding those who put in a little extra in exchange for more than necessities seems necessary.

But agreed the Marxist myth of from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs, is just that.  A myth.

The need for labor hasn't changed. The world has changed since World War II. So, how are you going to compete with a changing world that's becoming more competitive and more productive by sticking with old tax laws?
