* "In politics, few talents are as richly rewarded as the ability to convince parasites that they are victims. Welfare states on both sides of the Atlantic have discovered that [[income redistribution|largesse]] to [[entitlement mentality|losers]] does not reduce their [[culture war|hostility]] to [[society]], but only increases it. Far from producing gratitude, generosity is seen as an admission of guilt, and the [[reparations]] as inadequate compensation for injustices – leading to worsening behavior by the recipients." - Dr. [[Thomas Sowell]]
