Dear Mr. Kuttner, Whatever meds you are on, please share.
Seriously, your "logic" flies in the face of empirical evidence; namely that transparen
t markets, free-enter
prise supporting government
, education that works, personal responsibi
lkity and individual achievemen
t offer the most good for the most people. There will always be a few percent of people in a capitalist society whose "human capital" is worth less than others who work harder, who are smarter by chance and circumstan
ce. Does that mean the the rest should support them without some effort on their part? Not for me, and I suspect that's what many people are saying about the 48% or so of the population that pays no taxes, has no "skin in the game."
Why not vote for more benefits for yourself if you are not contributi
ng to thier payment by electing politician
s who promise more...for nothing?
Why not expect those who have succeeded to pay for those who can't...or won't?
Worst of all, there is a meeting ground for just about everybody, IF we understand that most people would appreciate an effort by those who take from the system without putting anaything back. Except for those who are 100% disabled, virtually EVERYONE can contribute something. Internet technologi
es finally allow for the system to put everyone in a position to do something to productive
ly participat
e to some degree.
