À propos de cet audio

Is it the job of government to be scouring the countryside like Santa Claus, with bags of gifts to give to people in need? Todd's philosophy is that government must operate as the referees of the game, making sure that it is as structurally fair as is reasonable, but not looking to solve people's problems. Longtime government employee Av Harris, a Democrat, sees government as referees perhaps, but ones who do make-up calls, blowing whistles on imaginary fouls to make-up for the bad calls they made in the past.  Todd bemoans the moral hazard of making people dependent on government, of moving our system away from what it is supposed to be by teaching Americans that government's role is the bailout of individuals in need, and the obvious election rigging schemes that political parties inevitably become under such a scheme. Av sees no moral hazard, and sees individuals in need as a legitimate target for gifts that only government can bring down the chimney.
