“Roosevelt transformed millions of Americans from citizens into clients. The direct effect of this was evil, and the indirect effect was even worse, for all these people were robbed of their self-respect, supposing that they had any to begin with.” -H. L. Mencken
[FDR is the Roosevelt in question, here. And it is true that a safety net that becomes a hammock is as dangerous as a safety net that does not exist. For different reasons, but still dangerous.]
