You’re wrong, the human spirit can conquer its base urges. That’s Judeo-Christianity 101. You want to replace personal responsibility with process, like any statist.
Why the personal attack? I'm not a statist in the least.
“It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we can expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.”
That's a quote from Adam Smith. You might want to check the guy out. The free market has always been based on the idea that it's better to incent productive behavior and disincent bad behavior, so that even people acting selfishly in their own interest choose the former, than to rely on them to choose it out of benevolence and Christian virtue.
