Who is in the mansion and who is in the slum?

    The government exists for the general welfare and and economic system that subsidizes idleness because the disingenuous say "look over there, its a net positive" while ignoring the externalized cost borne by the taxpayer is just theft from the taxpayer.

In America we see homeless zombies running around the richest neighborhoods. Thats the definition of success here.
