This desire for equity must not lead to an excess of welfare, where nobody is responsible for anything.

A different world cannot be built by indifferent people.

But we will say something else. That for far too long in this country, people who can work, people who are able to work, and people who choose not to work: you cannot go on claiming welfare like you are now.

The diversification of the people's demand could not be followed by the state apparatus.

The welfare state is not really about the welfare of the masses. It is about the egos of the elites.

There's no conflict between the social-welfare state and open markets.

People don't want charities to usurp the state as the core provider of social services.

If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists - to protect them and to promote their common welfare - all else is lost.

Government cannot ensure equal results because every individual differs.
