Sounds great but who is paying for it?
Have you heard of this idea called "taxes?"
More than that, are you familiar with the idea of taxes being spent on more than just bloated military and police?
Tell me what type of society you are imagining please, in the real world it is already difficult for the average entrepreneur not to evade VAT on at least 30% of his purchases, because if we don't talk about Nordic countries or Switzerland then I don't see it feasible how people can accept even more interventions from the government in their lives.
