It is certainly no longer considered to be the individual's own responsibility to acquire the work skills and experience to be able to earn enough to afford better housing as the years passed. Why do that, when the government can simply "spread the wealth around," to use another political phrase?

This is why socialism is so dangerous to a democracy.

The strength of a democracy depends on the strength, intelligence and skill of its citizenry.

This is just a brilliant observation by Sowell.
