    I think our society is in this state where there’s a desire to make things more equal and lift people out of poverty, but strong resistance to actually doing the things and paying the cost it would take to do it. So we try to do it on the cheap, by expanding admission here, tossing a small benefit there, and then wonder why it doesn’t always work out great.
