Posted on September 6, 2018 in Money by Nathan Cherry

This is what socialism is missing. Socialism says that everyone will be happy if we just divide everything evenly. Socialism ignores the principle of human productivity by making it possible for people that do very little to have the same means as those producing greater amounts.

Poverty is perpetuated by the idea that people shouldn’t have to be productive in order to receive goods and services.
