If I can get you to depend on me by my spending someon else's money I get control without paying for it or earning it. If I am permissive with you, it is easier for me to have many friends.
Ultimately it fails as the number of people earning their way becomes out of balance with those depending on them. Especially when the process is brokered by politicians and public bureaucracy.
What seems to work is allowing the money to flow to the provider of desired products and services not the dependent. Free markets the opposite of Federal/State Control.

Which is why liberals howl about
any form of tax cut and always try to label them as
'for the rich' in order to generate class envy, which usually - and rightfully - fails.
The Democrat party today is simply a collection of disparate interest groups that all demand both government money and laws that favor their respective agendas. From the pro-abortionists to the teacher and civil service unions to gays to black 'victimization' crusaders to the rapacious tort lawyers - they all want tax money diverted to their intrests and so, they all promote some form of socialism and 'wealth distribution' that usually includes huge taxes on business and the producers of this country and lots of laws to promote the interests of and reward tort lawyers, black 'leaders' still playing the victim, Civil Service union workers, teachers, etc. Thus, we see fierce resistance on the left to tort reform, school vouchers, dismantling of destructive welfare systems, even the slightest restrictions on abortion-on-demand and lots of angry responses to any tax decrease of any kind. This happens while the Democrat party celebrates and even promotes almost any human deviance predilection as a 'right' and viciously castigates those who oppose this kind of legitimizing of destructive behaviors.
This is the left, the liberal the
Democrat party of today and this is why, if voters take even a casual look at what it
really stands for (not the fake posturing we saw at the Democrat convention where they pretended to be something they were not) President Bush, a decent man who is firm in his principles and doing a good job for all Americans under adverse conditions, will win this election easily, as I have predicted he would since early this year. My views have not changed and lately, the polls show that more Americans are moving toward Bush, so I remain confident of his success in the November 2nd election and I continue to support his candidacy.
