Yet, while producing increasingly selfish people, the mantra of the Left, and therefore of the universities and the media, has been for generations that capitalism and the free market, not the welfare state, produces selfish people.

About half of Americans now pay no federal income tax - but they receive all government benefits just as if they had paid for, i.e., earned them.
