It is simply the fact that whenever there is a government program of any kind, normally intelligent people will abandon their productive activity and go stand in line for their share of the measly handout—and watch each other starve to death.
It all depends on how one thinks. Socialism does this sort of thing to the minds of men.
It is all a form of covetousness.
Thou shalt not covet is the last of the Ten Commandments.

Thirteen independent British colonies seceded from their mother country in 1776 on account of outrageous taxation. Do your own research of its level at that time.
