It is amazing how much insight an 18th Century philosopher has into 21st Century liberalism and liberal politicians out to give us 'hope and change'.

The problem to day is not that the people are incapable of governing themselves, but rather that they seem to be too lazy to. Hence, every problem seems to require a government solution. Add to this a total disrespect for property rights and the value of an honest dollar earned. The today's work ethic is why work when you can get the Government to give you someone else's money?
