“The Best Things in Life are Free”

     We all know the saying, “the best things in life are free.”  That usually means something non-tangible such as love.  But wouldn’t it be wonderful if the necessities of life were also free?

     I’m serious.  Just imagine if food, water, shelter, clothes, education, health care, and being clean were rights, instead of privileges.  If everyone had the base of what they needed, there would be less preventable horrid deaths, and less crime.

     Everyone would have what they needed.  Sure, if they wanted to upgrade their (probably apartment) to a mansion, that would cost money.  People would have to work (and everyone who wanted a job would have one) to earn money, and perhaps to keep this credit on necessities.  

     Poverty could be wiped out.  Hunger could be solved.  Then surplus money could be focused on improving the lives of everyone.  It could be amazing.  Unfortunately, we will probably never know…
