This more than anything is what is going to kill us. Gimme gimme gimme and make someone else pay for it. And when you don’t get what you want, riot. Ever since the 30s, more and more people think that someone else owes them a living. It started out with groups everyone agreed needed help — Social Security for the very old. Now anyone can get Welfare and Food Stamps. And programs for the elderly (Medicare especially) are bankrupting us. But if you try to reform them, there are riots. Government workers get premium benefits because they think they deserve it. And a big chunk of the population agrees. They think “the rich” have enough money to pay for everyone else to get a free ride. Hence the fact that the top 10% pay over half the taxes. We are in for a long, ugly period of American history. All because we moved from self-sufficiency to “make someone else pay” over the past 80 years.
