I'm not a jingoist....
I cringe when some yahoo says America is the only free country in the world.
I realize the U. S. is not the only liberal democracy in the world and some countries have much better developed welfare states.
I am all for helping those in need... I think that is the holy grail that separates left from right. I just think welfare needs to be calibrated so it's a trampolene and not a hammock.
Sloth isn't good for the individual or the system . I want to see every individual maximize their human potential...
