This analysis is historically correct precisely hones in on the source of the problem.
But we see that the liberals on this board (young, I believe) have been convinced that government is the answer and that without it, societies fail.
The truth is that it is because of government programs and interference, that we can no longer take care of family and community as we once did.
They are asking for more of the disease, and ignoring the cure.
That is PRECISELY right.
In the end it quintessentially ends where I go so very often:
Liberty has responsibilities
Freedom has consequences.
We have an inherent responsibility to help those who succumb... to give a hand up to those who have fallen. To care for those who have no means to care for themselves in true charity.
Giving over that responsibility to government gives the individual freedom instead.
Freedom from enacting that responsibility oneself.
And freedom has consequences, which we are seeing, as they exponentially unfold.
Nearly every social moray can be viewed through that prism to find the true answer to the problem.
