You're right! We can't. But hey, the system they think they want will eventually collapse of its own weight, leaving the self-sufficient to rebuild while the dependent starve. Not looking forward to that, but we've got maybe 10, possibly 20 more years before Medicaid, Medicare, Obamcare and Social Security are no longer sustainable without huge tax increases going down to the lowest wage earners. They'll "get it" then, but it will be too late. Economic reality will inevitably swing round to bite our children in the backside and they'll have no one to blame but us.
