Why conservatives attack the welfare of government but not the welfare of banks, credit cards and insurance companies?
I just had a revelation that has magnified the hypocrisy of free market, anti-welfare advocates in my view.
If welfare is fundamentally the dependence of an individual on the resources of an outside institution, aren't the relationships we have with banks, lenders, credit card and insurance companies also a type of welfare?
If being dependent on the resources of others represents a failure and corruption of human relations, don't these institutions represent failures and corruption as well?
In a properly working free market, shouldn't citizens be able to afford basics such as housing, transportation, insurance and medical care by themselves without looking to others?
Why aren't these types of institutions regarded as just an unwanted violation of the system as government welfare?
Why aren't the GOP and Tea Party just as opposed to the dependence economy reinforced by these private institutions as they are to government provided welfare?
And aren't these private companies guiltier than the government because they are charging citizens while reinforcing the dependence economy?
