The possibility of economic upward mobility was the condition that brought millions of immigrants to America. We cannot have economic upward mobility for long in a mixed economy, and not at all in socialism. The poor need property rights more than anyone else. We should not pass a law that we would not wish to affect us as we wish it to affect someone else. That is not just a restatement of the Golden Rule.
Wicked people are more prone to seek office than are good people.
And the more power and discretion we put in an office the more actively and vigorously will wicked people seek it. People are mixed, not economies. And they have different ends and different means of reaching them, These two classes are at war with each other. Sometimes the bureaucrats are at war internally with themselves. While at work, they have to do things that are acts of war against themselves in their private lives.
