It must take from the people in order to give to the people. The more it helps the more it hurts. It can only ever give back some fraction of what it first takes, the rest being used to pay for its bureaucracy. It is not even a zero sum game, it is a net negative one and the deficit gets bigger, the more influence the government have. It is a negative game even before the impact of the handout upon the recipient is factored into the equation.
Handouts are often like fixes for a drug addict.
They might seem to help, but trap the recipient in a bleak and ultimately soul-destroying existence. They impoverish us all. We are duty bound to point out the folly of so much government action. Public opprobrium may be poured upon those who are prepared to stand up for freedom. This is a cross we will have to bear if we want a better future.
