Not Your Brother’s Keeper: The Moral Bankruptcy of the Entitlement State

by Don Watkins

 

The U.S. faces a crushing debt thanks to entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. But far worse, argues Ayn Rand Institute fellow Don Watkins, is the entitlement state’s moral bankruptcy. As the entitlement state fosters a growing entitlement mentality, Mr. Watkins shows that the solution is to return to the America the Founding Fathers envisioned: one based on freedom, property rights, and individual responsibility.
