one easy way to stop the entitlement society
Jun 26^th, 2012 at 3:09pm

every entitlement the gov't offers t citizens comes from working, tax paying private citizens, is subject to gov't overhead, then filtered back to other citizens.

In your home, you could not afford to just house and feed non-family members...yet that is what all of these entitlement programs amount to.

I think we should go to the sally struthers model...where the gov't assigns people, with photos and names, to each household...those earning 250k+ might just have a couple people they are supporting...poeple would get tired of the free loaders pretty quick.

When you consider roughly half of the people in this country pay no taxes...and of those that do, 10% are covering the majorty of the burden, it's really quite disgusting.

Not paying federal income tax is in no way the same as not paying taxes.

I have a way to stop the entitlement society!

It would be to end government and politics.

You'll love it there. All you have to do is go to Minneapolis. A good portion of the cabbies are Somalian muslims. Good luck on getting a ride if you have a service dog or a bottle of booze.

No thanks.

I'd rather stick with civilization.

Quote:

Economists familiar with the Rothbardian tradition have taken the analysis even further, persuasively arguing that Somalia is much better without a state than it was with one. The standard statist put-down — "If you Rothbardians like anarchy so much, why don't you move to Somalia?" — misses the point. The Rothbardian doesn't claim that the absence of a state is a sufficient condition for bliss. Rather, the Rothbardian says that however prosperous and law-abiding a society is, adding an institution of organized violence and theft will only make things worse.

Quote:

Somalia has achieved remarkable progress since the collapse of the brutal dictatorship of Siad Barre in 1991. If people in the more developed countries of the world wish to help the impoverished region, we can certainly send money and even visit to offer medical services and other assistance. But if the West foists the "gift" of another state on the beleaguered Somalis, their appropriate response should be, "No, you shouldn't have."
