“Welfare is not a contract between the state and the people, it - TopicsExpress



          

“Welfare is not a contract between the state and the people, it is a contract between the people themselves. The state is nothing more than our useful vehicle for fulfilling that contract. My message to all those deficit hawks in London and Edinburgh [or Washington DC & Ottawa, etc.] is simple: this is not your welfare state to give or take away. In effect, I made an agreement with my neighbour that he’d look after me if I needed help and I’d look after him if he needed help. You were chosen by us to deliver this on our behalf, not to fashion yourself a crown to wear while you lecture us on our mistakes.” ~ Robin McAlpine Thanks goes to Howard Breen for sending this along via email.
