“I predict future happiness for Americans, if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”
~Thomas Jefferson
There is a stark difference between a hand-up vs. hand-out and between a safety net and hammock. Government nor anyone should do what a person can and should do themselves.
Anything else is socialism and enablement which leads to mediocrity at best and a horrible collapse at worst.
