And when / if you lose the ability to earn any more fruit?

Savings, retirement plans, family.

Do you take out fire or car insurance?

Private insurance.

Everyone in society benefits if people can find the jobs they are best suited for which maximises their potential to contribute rather than take the first thing they are offered because they have no other choice. Germany's generous welfare system demonstrate this.

I had to take shit jobs until I worked my way into a good job.

What if you were never given the chance to get a job because of discrimination? All your potential is lost to society and this means that everyone in the society is poorer as a result.

Discrimination? I'd adapt and overcome.

What you are effectively saying is that you're alright Jack and you don't care about anyone else.

I pay my light bill, I shouldn't have to pay for yours too.

That is until society changes and you are no longer alright.

I've overcome obstacles all my life. I'm sure I'll have more.

And let's not forget that in a truly capitalistic society your costs will skyrocket. You may hate having to pay taxes if you own a shop, but those taxes pay for the emergency services. Without those you would need to pay for your own staff to protect your premises and would have no way of stopping a much larger organised criminal force from overwhelming your security guards. You would also have to pay the fire brigade. Everyone benefits from everyone paying taxes for these necessities because of the economies of scale.

I support paying taxes for these items. As I originally stated, a society must have a certain amount of socialism.
