He made the social justice argument. You should be allowed to keep the wealth that you need.

Right out of Karl Marx's manifesto. Surprised? I think not.

You get into very dangerous ground when you start allowing government to define your ‘needs’.

-Technically, you only need to eat much more basic, unprepared, raw foods, cheaper and easier to produce,, no meat, and arguably more healthy; Gruel. Sack of flour, and rice and beans. Enjoy.
-Clothing, a Mao suite for you. You don’t “need” anything else.
-Shelter: Stack and pack in a Agenda 21 housing development, share facilities with neighbors, maybe even kitchens and bathrooms.
-Transportation; cars? LOL, heck no. Trains and only when the government thinks you “need” to travel.
-Entertainment? Only what the government thinks you “need” to see and hear.
-Medical care? You don’t “need” a specialist. A pain pill for you, you are going to eventually die anyway.
