Quote by: Disinterested Why can't the government be responsible for housing and feeding and providing healthcare for everyone?
We certainly have the means. We lack the will. |
I do not want to seem obtuse, but I didn't say it couldn't do it, I just said that it does not have the duty to do it. If we, as citizens, demand that of our government, it is probably within our means. It is probably debatable if it is sound policy. I can see a case being made that it will create a level of dependence on the government that will weaken our economic stregnth and quash innitative. Those arguments can not be dismissed out of hand. But, I certainly believe we can do much better than we do.
