You have little need for meals? So then, you wont die it you dont eat or drink? Or is that a choice? People like you try to paint the world in with the chicago school ideology and then say it was like this all along. Your needs are finite and absolute. There is a certain number of calories, carbohydrates and proteins that your body needs, and if it doesnt get it it will slowly but surly die. You do want to eat, but you also need to eat. Maybe this is a semantic question, but i have always thought that people like you just dont accept reality for what it is, and therefore you suck at any hard science like biology or physics.
I agree about the rich and their taxes, meaning that they dont pay enough and that the system is inefficient in taxing them properly (im from sweden btw). And yes, the poor pay relatively more in sweden since they pay a flat VAT for example (in absolute rates the rich pay the most per capita of course but i assumed you realized this). But they are also the main consumers of benefits like welfare and healthcare, so it evens out in a way, if the system provides adequate quality (and it does this in sweden, highest lifesaving rates in the EU). But it is as you say, bureaucrats are a mess, and the system should be streamlined, making it easier for poor people to get their money.

I want to believe this, but i dont know if science actually agrees. Still, there has been some societies with remarkable classless structures and egalitarian views.
