Default A billionaire explains the middle class

I think that you are confusing "needs" and wants. Needs are food,
clothing, lodging and medical care. And the Air force feed, clothed,
and housed me and supplied free medical care when necessary, and
demanded that I perform "work" in compensation.

Which is, amazingly, just how communism worked in the so called
"Eastern Block".


If you were like many in the military, you did as little as possible to
to get those needs supplied.

Which is also much like the Eastern Block version communism:

"They pretend to pay us, we pretend to work."
