"On the whole, these projects were a failure. The attempt to tame the wild creatures, for instance, broke down almost immediately. They continue to behave very much as before, and when treated with generosity, simply took advantage of it."
Excerpt from Animal Farm.
Interesting that even the Pro-Socialist Orwell recognized the fallible and corrupt nature of man. The Utopian idealists that justify their spending and programs for the good of all, are in denial to the fact that not all are good. The championed causes that benefit the minority disadvantaged, is equally distributed to those who take advantage. The cost of these benefits are great. They usually cost double or triple the end benefit to the receiver. Should we not count the cost before we spend? Truly for them the end justifies the means. Even if the means cost us our liberty and possibly the survival of our great country.
