A great article by John Stossel. Here's an excerpt below. Follow the link above to read the full article.
The more government "protects" us, the more it puts obstacles in the way of trying new things. It does that every time it taxes, regulates, and standardizes the way things are done. Simultaneously, government offers "compassion"—welfare and unemployment benefits.
Faced with the choice of collecting unemployment or putting your own money at risk and hiring an army of lawyers to deal with business regulations, I understand why people don't bother trying. When that attitude is pervasive, the American dream dies.
