      @cole007 either way, I prefer a free society - where we help those in need, but everyone else gets rewarded based on brains & initiative

      @amberweinberg @aral it failed elsewhere because people who wanted to get uber-rich had too much to lose

      @amberweinberg @aral time and again laziness is touted as the fault-line in socialist policies when there is very little evidence to support
