520 _a"Most modern Americans view government handouts as natural and necessary. We happily endorse payments for the poor, to the rich, for the middle class, to college students, for apple growers, opera lovers, cotton farmers, electricity consumers, feminist poets, and endless others. People may quibble about the exact operation of these subsidies, and some worry about their aggregate cost. But practically no one questions their premise--that it is right for government to make grants of taxpayer funds to individuals, groups, or businesses. If we don't have programs to subsidize cellists or the makers of argyle socks, it's not because the public thinks they would be wrong, destructive, or immoral. We just haven't gotten around to them yet." (AMERICAN ENTERPRISE) The author discusses the onerous concern about the Social Security system and the exact distribution of subsidies of which taxpayers themselves are not even aware of where their contributions go.
