The system redistributes income from the young (rich or poor) to the old (rich or poor). I think we ought to help the poor indiscriminately." GOVERNMENT PRIVILEGES. "All over the world, the predominant source of great increases in private fortunes over the past several decades has been Government privileges." For example, the issuance of radio-TV licenses is "an enormous giveaway of valuable capital sums to individuals who are not low-income people."
