I would say that the most important flaw in the story is the starting point that suggests that we all enjoy the same things, only some are helping pay for the others. We obviously do not all start with the same access to health care, education, job security, etc. Challenging the start open up the entire story.
Thus the reframed beginning should have some individuals with no access to anything to drink, others with only enough money to cover a drop, and one who owns the bar and sets the prices--and the question becomes where did the ownership come from and why do some have the power and others go without and what can or should be done about it. And the answer should go much further than progressive taxes on the owner to enable those with no money to buy a small drop of water. Marty
