Thefts There Are – Safety Nets There Are Not (Michael Rozeff)

Michael Rozeff on the misnomer of government "safety nets," which are nothing but money stolen from taxpayers:

Whoever dreamed up the term Safety Net should start a Ponzi scheme. They should hire the person who concocted Too Big To Fail.
