The Welfare State. Take from those who produce and give to those who do not produce because it is their "right." We will lower the average until every child is above it - American zero-goal education and "every child left behind." Health insurance that grossly rewards 80-year olds while destroying 40-year olds.
Whenever cost and price are decoupled there will be tragedy. A society cannot vote itself rich out of the public exchequer and survive. Authority, responsiblity, and liability must be coupled or there is tyranny and abuse.
1) You will use your own money to buy something for yourself . You will care about what you buy and you care about how much it costs.
2) You will use your own money to buy somebody else a gift. You don't care about what you buy and you care about how much it costs.
3) You use an expense account to buy somebody else a gift. Who cares what it is or what it costs? We call this "government."
