Larry Elders wrote a column the day my new grandaughter was born - September 1 - which summarizes what I think will be her biggest problem in living successfully in our country. She will have to become a "giver", since "Too Many Takers..." are bankrupting our country!
He touches on several versions of "takers": French refugees in 1792, Hollywood, disaster relief, minimum wage laws, all good examples of the over reaching of our Government (interesting that this is not a new phenomena - 1792!!!).
From our discussions you know I believe we have too many "takers" (that is Wealth Consuming jobs) in the legitimate efforts of Government: federal employees, police, fireman, teachers, et al. This has come about in my opinion with bloated administrations and unions taking advantage of a non-profit, non-free market system which is not monitored by our politicians due to the built in desire for votes. It is a system that must fail in the long run unless we do something!
