Quote: How would you qualify a job good or bad if it's not based upon the ability to be self sufficient?

 

 yes if more people owned small private business's we wouldn't have the majority of the problems we have right now, why is that controversial?

 

 

Possible sure, likely no. Just because it's not likely to happen doesn't mean I'll stop advocating it. Sometimes things have to get a lot worse before they get better, I fully believe we will see things get a lot worse here before we turn the corner. 

 

A job is good based on a lot more than just whether you can be self sufficient from it. Maybe you mean a good wage is one that allows you to be self sufficient?

 

As for the small private business point, it would certainly complicate things and make society a lot less cohesive, but I suppose you're free to believe it. Of course everyone being in business for their self doesn't inherently solve the problem of when someone simply isn't making enough money, or isn't finding a market for their service.
