The Tendency Of Welfare Spending In The United States Has Been To Increase At An Exponential Rate.

The Long-run Historical Tendency Of Capitalism Has Not Only Been To Increase Real Incomes More Or Less Proportionately Nearly All Along The Line, But To Benefit The Masses Even More Than The Rich.

Practically All Government Attempts To Redistribute Wealth And Income Tend To Smother Productive Incentives And Lead Toward General Impoverishment.

No Matter Whether It Is Their Intention Or Not, Almost Anything That The Rich Can Legally Do Tends To Help The Poor. The Spending Of The Rich Gives Employment To The Poor. But The Saving Of The Rich, And Their Investment Of These Savings In The Means Of Production, Gives Just As Much Employment, And In Addition Makes That Employment Constantly More Productive And More Highly Paid, While It Also Constantly Increases And Cheapens The Production Of Necessities And Amenities For The Masses.

Some Champions Of Ever-greater Governmental Power And Spending Invent The Theory That The Taxpayers, Left To Themselves, Spend The Money They Have Earned Very Foolishly, On All Sorts Of Trivialities And Rubbish, And That Only The Bureaucrats, By First Seizing It From Them, Will Know How To Spend It Wisely.
