It occurs to me that the collectivists have changed tactics. “Need” is no longer the basis for compensation, “victimhood” has replaced it. “From each according to his past sins to each according to his past victimization.” The race now is not to be the most needy, but the biggest victim.

The race now is not to be the most needy, but the biggest victim.Very good. And Gresham's Law also applies to victims, in that bad victims drive good victims out of the market.
(I should make that my tag line.)

That is close to the legislation Ted Kennedy introduced yesterday. Did you see that? Universal disability coverage. Only $65 a month, to be taken from your pay. It will raise $350 billion a year. If you can’t eat, shower, or use the potty you can claim it. Somehow, I think he’s eligible.
