I insist that every sheltering ideology, be it Social Security, unemployment insurance, medicare, farm supports, wage and price controls, modern pyramids, teacher tenure, cartels, or whatever, has precisely the same debilitating, destructive effect as the minimum wage law. All of these, without exception, harm the very people they are foolishly designed to help. At the root of these panaceas is nothing but an unwillingness to think, a failure to rise out of the primitive and up to the human level. Sheltering has a near-unanimous approval. The way to test the validity of this coercive exploitation is to assume its unanimous practice.
Parasites die in the absence of a host.
And this can be accomplished only by an increasing use of one's faculties, solving problems, surmounting obstacles. For it is an observed fact that the art of becoming is composed of acts of overcoming. 3 Henry Fielding.
