Those in favor of Government welfare cannot distinguish between compassion and coercion. <br /><br />We have moved from a model of family centric welfare, to state centric welfare, and opened up a world of unintended consequences.<br /><br />It ‘may’ have worked a couple of generations ago, when no one wanted to ‘bludge’ off their mates, and being indolent carried a social stigma. That environment no longer exists. <br /><br />What we have produced is an attitude of entitlement, anger and resentment nurtured by a political class that profits from the spiritual and financial poverty of others. Could we have deliberately created a more demonic system?<br />Brendan McNeillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02741263914308842497noreply@blogger.com
