And socialism doesn't have to result in economic laziness and ruin. But it always ends that way.

Treating one's neighbor as you would have yourself treated only makes sense if there is something bigger to consider than number one.

Socialism always ends in economic laziness and ruin, because it is based on the false economic/political premise that social ends can be achieved by forcing individuals to obey group goals.

Treating one's neighbor as you would have yourself treated only makes sense if there is something bigger to consider than number one.

The premise that a groups "bigger" goal can be gained by treating an unwilling neighbor as a scofflaw makes no sense at all.

Treating one's neighbor as you would have yourself treated [our golden rule] is part of the basic principles of our Constitution and Bill of Rights; - our rights to life, liberty, or property, - shall not be infringed.
