The idea that using taxpayer money to support people in living lives of the greatest creativity and productivity means supporting an entitlement mentality among the poor, is an expression of the most outrageous entitlement mentality among the rich and powerful that I can imagine.

Or you could learn basic economics. Man acts in his perceived self interest in accordance with his time preference. Giving money to people outside of voluntary exchange causes unproductive behavior.

That is not basic economics, it is soulless nonsense posing as economic theory. Every human being is born with a God-given desire to create. Check your theory against any Montessori kindergarten.

Basic economics is heartless. Don't study austrian economics or history or monetary policy, study crystals and energy! We can end poverty with more debt! Passing the buck to the poor and their future generations is called compassion!
