Hear the code word greed in an economic discussion and you already know the socialist argument that government is all-knowing and all-caring is coming. Okay, so some people want to keep all they earn and not share it with freeloaders - go ahead and call them greedy geezers. At least acknowledge that if it weren't for those highly productive members of society that your "free" education, roads, etc. wouldn't have been engineered, built, or funded. When you reward dependency on government "help" to make the most of your life, you're left with no individuals willing to pursue scientific discovery or athletic excellence. We need government leaders (and educators) that see the potential for greatness in people and inspire them.
