We need to quit protecting people from the consequences of their bad choices
(for one thing). For example, we don't regulate what people eat, not much
anyway. If a person wants to sit on their backside and eat cheeseburgers
and
twinkies all their days, fine, that's their prerogative. But then the
government shouldn't mandate that such people be issued health insurance
policies nor
allow them parking permits right beside the front door of the mart because
they
are "handicapped".

Instead look what's happening, if a person has been frugal with their assests
the government tries to tax and regulate them out of existence but if they
have been God's own fool and gotten themselves on the brink of foreclosure
and
bankruptcy, the goverment rushes to bail them out.

It was discovered that lepers lost their fingers and toes, not because of the
direct affects of the disease, but because the disease dulled pain in the
extremities so much, they could not tell when they were hurting themselves
and so
wore and abused their digits until they fell off. Like that, we have worked
to dull the effect of very bad personal choices with the result that people
grind their entire lives down never feeling the full pain of those choices.
