There are those average citizens out there that actually believe that government programs are the answer to the issues. What happened to, "How can I solve my problems?" There are those who actually believe that a socialist type economy is the answer. The premise of socialism is that everyone works to the best of their ability and is compensated on basis of their need. Who decides the extent of everyone's need? Do the people that believe in this type of economic system really believe that the best will keep giving the best when they do not receive the rewards of their labors? If I am the best technician, engineer, laborer out there, Am I going to keep doing the best when I get a pittance for my efforts while someone who is barely competent gets far more for his efforts because his need is greater according to some measure? Why would I continue to do the best? Would it be love for my fellow man, love of the job, or patriotism that would compel my best efforts even though I was not to get the fruits of my labor? Am I to be compelled at the point of a gun to match my previous efforts? The reason Capitalism works is because it does not conflict with human nature. Socialism will NEVER work for long. I suppose a bastardized existence can be ecked out under socialism. A socialist system will never match a capitalist system in any good metric all other things being equal.
When you ask government to take care of an issue, you are relegating that issue over to a socialist type approach. I know medical and insurance costs are sky high, but lets not throw the baby out with the bath water.
