The argument against free stuff (an inflammatory and unnecessary sobriquet but it captures the socialist ethos in a few pithy message board friendly words very well) is simple. It does not require deep thinking, philosophical pondering, etc.

It is, at the end, uneconomic and unaffordable. Particularly as there are never limits set because free stuff always grows, is rarely cut.

Just look at Europe for proof.

"It does seem to be very difficult to understand why life, liberty and property might be any use at all."
