The economy: It’s always someone else’s money
Richard Deight, Orange County Register (CA)
As a nation, we like our entitlements. Perhaps the worst example, Social Security, is a gigantic wealth-redistribution and Ponzi scheme that would mean a prison sentence for the ringleaders if anyone but government ran it. Also at the top of the list is the ADA, which transfers private property rights from the able-bodied to the handicapped. "Special rights" trump individual needs and self-determination every time. After all, we must all do our part to provide for the "greater good." If Ayn Rand were alive today, she would have a field day.
