There is, however, a better way of telling the tale. Right idea, but not the best formulation of the idea. Freedom and its inevitable explosion of technology and efficiency have given us wealth. That is the precise reason why appeals to greater wealth often fall on death ears. Tiny numbers of farmers can produce all the food we need and more.
Robots can forge steel, weld cars together, and weave clothes.
The Information Superhighway is opening vast vistas of knowledge in general and in specialized fields for the ordinary interested person. We are, in many ways, making enough stuff. But we just can't enjoy it much, because so much of our potential and actual productive capacity is sacrificed to the lazy, selfish priests of government and its lesser gods of brainless ideology and political correctness. We spend some hours or some days ignoring our other, denying that person our time. To see the preciousness of time to the average working person, consider what labor unions in Europe often seek first - more holidays and shorter workweeks.
