“And that’s the problem. We have a large class in our society that claims it’s not about fault, punishment or responsibility”
No. The problem is we have a large portion of the population that is exempt from suffering the consequences of their choices.
And yes that’s mainly the fault of government, ie, politicians, or more precisely the people who collectively elect them - us.
And so we, collectively, are suffering the consequences of OUR bad choices.
OK, so it IS about fault, punishment and responsibility. You’ve got me spinning like a faulty watch.
