Ayn Rand did an excellent job accurately characterizing those who "loot" their income from productive citizens: criminals-by-right and looters-by-law. It doesn't bode well for our future as the looters-by-law continue to increase in number while also demanding more and more (healthcare-by-right, mortgage-forgiveness-by-law, etc.). What will happen when the balance shifts and those making a claim on the fruits of others' labors outnumbers those producing the fruits? I believe America's moral and religious erosion plays a huge part in its abandonment of self-reliance as an admirable virtue. Interesting comment about America coining the phrase "making money." I know at least the Portuguese and Spanish phrases don't have the same connotation that ours does. Great post.
