I think what garth66 is talking about is going backwards from where we are right now. Taxes keep going up; redistribution of wealth; high energy prices .....

If someone gave you a beautiful Pantera, restoration all complete; would you take real good care of it, or would you take better care of it if you worked hard to make it happen? The answer is obvious -- and one that is human behavior that none of us can change.

Not to take away from the photo that Larry posted, but has money that has been dumped into the great society programs made anyone become rich -- or has it just kept people at that subsistence level? I'm sure that some have clawed their way out, but I wonder about the majority of people that it is supposed to help. I would think that most are in the same spot for their lives. The question I have is, is there a better way to get people out of poverty other than just "giving" everything to them?
