    However, there will be universal healthcare, more time off from work, and better public transportation. Your lifestyle changes but it doesn’t mean you have to be miserable. It’s a trade that has benefits for everyone. And nobody should necessarily be trying to win over chauvinistic people who won’t accept any change in their lifestyle. You won’t win those people over anyways.

    Maybe it's just me, but I'd give an awful lot just to escape the alienation that the current system generates. That includes shitty workplaces/managers, no sense of community or friend network from people having to constantly move, everyone constantly stressed and encouraged to lash out at others, etc. I think even those "middle class" people who have some financial security are much more miserable than they'd otherwise be just due to this, but it's not something that's as easy to quantify.
