Sure! That’s called a universal basic income, and it is possible to achieve with taxpayer’s money. We just need to want to achieve it.
And, you’re pretty likely to still want (yes, want, willingly) to work even if your basic needs were met with a UBI. (I can’t be bothered to actually go search for a source on this but I’m pretty sure there was a study done on this topic that indicated so.)
Helping others isn’t something that is open to discussion. The only reason why humanity as a species exists today is because we are social creatures that can only exist in large quantities by helping each other. Early humans did it in the form of splitting up the group’s work, some would hunt, some would gather, some would look after the children and at the end of the day all food would be shared together. Everyone would contribute and so everyone could keep living. Today we do the same (or, at least, should be doing the same, it’s debatable if the current tax system is working very well.) in the form of taxes that pay for social services.
history, game theory and evolution all have clear examples showing social =/ always helping each other and in fact some of our largest leaps as a species have been during relatively exploitive periods of human history but I’m not even adovcating against your point here
you just keep wondering off into windmills
stop trying to make this about more than it is
you don’t get accidentally knocked up, take responsibility and plan your shit out
all workers in our society should the level of free time provided such that it is a non issue
the amount of my life spent carrying others because I actually have my shit together and live like an adult while idiots set shit on fire, sometimes not even metaphorically
if you’re having kids, best account for the reality of them
your lack of planning isn’t my emergency
That’s the selfishness that will kill us ull.
totally not selfish to keep picking options that make others carry you, nope not at all, it’s their fault for proper planning
besides I believe in social safety nets, just not in childcare being uniquely special
The entirety of society is others carrying others.
let me quit my job, i’ll send you a bill for my expenses
