Pulling the Wagon

Socialism is the little engine that can't. If you are going to give everyone the fruits of the labor of a few, pretty soon the few wise up and quit working so hard. Everyone wants the smooth ride in the wagon, but no one wants to be the one pulling it in socialist states. Why should the sweat of your brow pay for someone else on the dole? The logical response is to go on the dole too and let somebody else pay your way.
