I agree with everything you said except this. I think our economy works best at accumulating wealth when its used just to accumulate wealth. The idea that it doesn't make sense economically to ensure that everyone has access to food, shelter, and healthcare is to me one of the great flaws with fiscal conservative thought. I would prefer that economic success was measured in terms of quality of life of the least fortunate in society, rather than the accumulation of wealth.
