80+ years of the Welfare State have turned a large chunk of this country into people who are looking for a handout. Who think that its the governments job to take from “the rich” and hand out money to everyone else. Not just the poor — we’re way past that at this point — but crony capitalists and the middle class too. The old cartoon about pulling the wagon was prophetic. We now are at the point where there are 20 or 30 people in the wagon being pulled by two or three people. And the 20 or 30 are screaming at the 2 or 3 who are pulling to pull faster.
And us 2 or 3 are getting tired. Just had my taxes done. I’m literally sick.
