Anyhow, here is a question: what should happen to the losers in life? |
It's not about what should happen to them. It's about what should the government do about it. In a free country, the government should do nothing. When you're free, you're free to lose as well.
In my perfect world, The government would do nothing, but in doing nothing, they take so very little from the individual. Taxes should be 1/5 what they are today, or even less. This would allow the economic engine to thrive, and you would have a job.
It would also leave more money in the pockets of the people who wish to help. I for example, donate a lot. If I had more, I would donate more. The loser would be taken care of by the people.
60 years ago, you could have gone to a catholic hospital and gotten taken care of for free. That does not happen anymore, thanks to the government.
I have 14 acres of land, and the upkeep on this place is some work. I also have a large barn with electricity and running water. If someone wanted to live in it, and take care of the place for 10-20 hours a week, and all I had to do was feed them and let them sleep in the barn, that would be awesome. They would have 20-30 hours a week to work somewhere else for money.
Thanks to the government, that's illegal too.
I have an older friend that used to do that. He traveled the entire country when he was young, by just being a farm hand and sleeping in barns. You can't do that today.
Removing the government from being so ingrained in our lives, not only removes the safety net, but it also removes the roadblocks that used to not exist, that allow us to help those who need it.
