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.
Governments institutionalize something for nothing.
We evolved without social welfare and we are equipped to solve our problems without it.
Self interest determines loyalty or betrayal.
Seeds sewn in adversity bear the greatest fruit.
People rarely use advice.
