In a society that does not value private property and fosters a spirit of envy and class warfare through wealth redistribution, why should we be surprised that young people don’t value someone else’s property?
Said about 'flash mobbing' in the US. Could have been about the UK riots. It's a selective quote on my part because I don't hold with other views expressed by the Acton people. Nevertheless, as it stands, it makes crystal clear sense.
Then (unrelated) Kiwiblog features some recent Bob Jones correspondence. I recall reading a book titled something like Bob Jones Letters which was full of this sort of highly articulate piss-taking. Love it.
(Tried linking to the Acton Institute repeatedly but kept getting total disarrangement of post.)

That quote is SPOT ON.
So many talking heads are coming up with all kinds of excuses, but seem determined to ignore the elephant in the room.
If you give people money that they have not earned, they will expect things
without working for it.
