When earning and having become decoupled, new rights can be found everywhere. For example, many supporting universal healthcare claim it should be a right. Since there is no longer a connection between getting and earning (hello $1.85T deficit!), they can claim anything as a right.
We loved the above from KT because it sums up perfectly what’s at the core of a culture that wants everything but doesn’t want to pay for it.
We’ve become a nation of 4 yr. olds aided and abetted by a political class that reasons just as we do.
KT has more on our statist quest for stability at the expense of economic growth, here.
