The question was

Why not focus on lowering the cost of living?

So let us again go back to that....

Why not think about ways to lower the cost of living?

The apple only cost you .79 because you aren't willing to ask me for one from my tree or provide something to me that would have me trade an apple to you.  Or you COULD tend your own apple tree.

Now if you wanted you could even buy an apple from me for a lot less than .79.  I would be willing to sell you an apple for .5.  Especially if I have no need of the apple and it would spoil before I could get use out of it.

Tending an apple tree is fine, but it requires the capital to buy land and seeds. Similar to trading for an apple... Whatever you trade requires an investment.
