First you “make capitalism not work.”

I agree with both of you. They’re counting on their idea that people are mostly lazy and will prefer a government handout through a guaranteed income to a productive, hard-working, goal-oriented life. I don’t believe that the people who prefer the handout are in the majority yet. A freedom-seeking spirit has always been one where we believe we can better ourselves with only hard work and a fair shot and sometimes a really good idea.
However, the educational system has taught the youth to feel entitled, to be lazy and to disdain hard work and the entrepreneurial spirit, largely because it oppresses others.
Those who are counting on the lazy to carry the day are so wrong that their names should be Wrongy Wrongfiddle. As long as the majority of people continue to believe that a good work ethic will get you ahead in the world, capitalism will always prevail.
I suppose it boils down to a race between the lazy youth and those who escaped the indoctrination of the educational system through luck, good schooling or good parenting.

Agree.
Of course, if they raise taxes on income and capital to ensure you cannot get ahead, everyone either latches onto the Gov’t umbilical cord...
Or goes Galt. That presumes there is anywhere to hide.
