I am not in this together. I am here for myself and my family. To use the famous example of a pencil: no one knows how to produce a pencil. It takes expertise (and infrastructure, i.e. private property) to cut and process wood, to mine graphite and iron for a band, etc etc etc. If some social engineer like David Simon comes in and says "we need to produce pencils together", nothing is going to be done. Because inevitably social engineering means that he (or the bureaucrats that share his ideology) will decide how to shift resources and someone's private property to better produce pencils. Let's also not forget that founder fathers consistently looked at this and came to the conclusion that an attack on private property is an attack on liberty. That's the reason for a limited gov't. The big question is why at a time when we have unprecedented size and reach of gov't, and liberty is tramped, we hear these desperate calls that things are not working well?
