I think that she believes that such things are best attained by self realization rather than a government handout. There seems to be a persistent belief among Liberals that government funds are bottomless and are somehow just there for all to draw from.

The fact is that you Tom, David and I provide those funds through taxes. You may think that it is a good thing for all of us that are fund provider's to pay a little more so that fund takers can live better. Basic economics does not support that because for every new taker added, there is one new provider lost. Eventually the Take will exceed the Put. Such a system can work for a while in low-population countries but even there the bill will someday come due.

This is compounded today by encouraging low/no income producing immigration with subsequent loss of tax income to the government for simply political purposes.
