Our contemporary brand of socialism has one fatal flaw. It's too expensive. When you try to shower benefits on so many recipients, you eventually must resort to subterfuge. Foremost among those tricks is money and credit expansion. Inevitably, you debase your currency.

Suffering perfects the soul.

When you are aggrieved you learn.

Government does the least good and the most harm through subsidies.

Incompetent government embraces hiring quotas, thus furthering their incompetence.

The more noteworthy a person's achievements, the more government agents are attracted to investigating that person.

We should worry about our own souls first and trust in God's plan for others.
