And if we place food on the market, we no longer have a
guarantee that anyone will be able to eat :-)
Observer that in the real world, food and clothing is
provided by the market, and no one goes hungry or naked, but
school and protection is provided by the government, which
theoretically spends the same money protecting and educating
the poor as the rich, and many people are not educated or
protected.
In America today many do not get an education. In North
Korea today many do not get to eat. That is because in
America, the state guarantees education, in North Korea, it
guarantees food. If the state guaranteed sand for all in
the sahara, there would soon be sand shortage.
