Incredible that people want more Government, of course when you dont have to contribute to society only collect from these programs the game is well understood.
How true. The idea of an “ownership society” isn’t just a political slogan. A capitalistic, free-market economy requires that most people have a personal “stake” in that economy - via stocks, private property, freedom to invest and be entreprenureal without over-regulation and punitive taxation. When the “takers” begin to outnumber the productive elements in any society it’s a sign of serious trouble.
