Is it right to give what one person earns to another?

I don't know that we have time -- the generation(s) to get it done --

That's my point. IMHO the bulk of the damage has occurred over the past hundred years or so and I think reversal at this point is all but impossible.

To briefly explain why I believe this, take our current situation. Right now we're in arguably the "ideal" state, with allegedly the best party controlling the White House and Congress. Other than seeing the White House returning to a place of respect and a few things that flow from that, what's the difference? Political correctness still grows by the day. The liberals are in FIRM control of the minds of the masses, beginning with an iron grip on the education system and continuing control of adults through the joke that our mainstream media are. Bluntly put, the best we can now hope to accomplish wihtin our system is a slight slowing of the growth of insanity in our government.

An actual reversal of the insanity is impossible for me to imagine. Can anyone here realistically picture a coming time during which government handouts are cut off? Or when all able-bodied prisoners are subjected to hard labor that will make a return trip most unenticing? A repeal of the immorality that the progressive tax system is? In all these areas, again, all I can picture under the best case scenario is a slight retardation of the growth.
