So unless you're willing to give away a lot that you have gained, you don't really have a solid leg to stand on.
The question now really is about maintaining that standard of living. I'm not sure a fast change to a laissez fair system wouldn't lead to a worse situation than we're in now.
The government, and the government alone has the resources to rapidly apply treatment to the problem. The free markets have already demonstrated their weakness, and it's called greed.

The free Markets have demonstrated the greatest economic power in history. The greatest threat to that power, which, like any power, ist not always at max, is the "GOVERNMENT ALONE." That threat, the Government Alone, is the antithesis of the free market. It is, in this present context, rightly called Socialism.
