Yes, that benefitting from the free labour of others is as ridiculous as what Graham said.

'free' labour is a new twist on the topic?
The bad feelings of rightists over allowing people to cut back on their working for a living has got to stop. There's just no way capitalism with no restrictions on big business profit can work for the millions. The way forward has to be in finding ways to spread the wealth at least enough for everyone to have the essentials in life.

Cuba actually does that already because they were forced into doing that which would allow them to merely survive. And now an objective look at how the people of Cuba have succeeded is instructive. Housing and high quality healthcare put an entirely different light on poverty!

They did it with very limited resources so just imagine what countries rich in resources can do!

Yes, we'll miss capitalism and the opportunity to work hard to better oneself, but new ways must be found.

A country doesn't get rich from the backbreaking work of it's workers anymore. Look at that harvester being driven by one man, that is producing enough food for thousands. A country gets rich off of  the labouring of it's machines.
