    "Those who are always accusing people in the private sector of ‘greed’ almost never accuse government of greed, no matter what it does."

        If this was indeed from Prof. Sowell, seems like he probably can revisit some John Locke.

        Nor do they accuse those who want the govt to give them free stuff, courtesy of those they label 'greedy'

        That is bc they are one and the same. And calling yourself selfish or greedy is really shortsighted when it’s obviously ‘leveling the playing field’ instead of personal drive, responsibility, etc.
