Private sector and free enterprise are totally and far away more efficient than communism, whether the communism is by voting it in, or done for force. yep, the western capitalist finance sector demands them big ol' handouts... billions and trillions of free-dom bailouts that mythically support private sector 'efficiency'. I started out as a commie-type ideologist [based on parental discussions I suppose]. But it was in very early adulthood I rapidly shifted to free enterprise, capitalism, freedom, self-determination, private property anti-government "1984 Big Brother totalitarianism". You are of course right that swarms of people see loot from the government as a good way to be rich and powerful, or to just get free stuff to avoid working and responsibility. That includes the biggest such as Solyndra, free money handouts to financial institution swindlers, Military Industrial Complex with big political kickbacks and bribes, Climate Change "investors' /sarc, do gooders galore. "Vote for us, Get Free Stuff". You say you dislike the billions and trillions of free-dom bailouts, but you are promoting the whole commie free stuff gang. I agree that the order in which to turn the free-stuff taps off is top to bottom rather than the reverse. There might even be a place for the lowest ability people on the public teat [which is what I mistakenly thought 50 years ago] but I doubt it. Now I think back to voluntary charity is better. I had mistakenly thought state charity would ensure that not just the capable scroungers would get money, but those needing help with no ability to appeal for charity. Big mistake. The government bludgers were not the people to run such charity. Their main interest is getting loot and perks for themselves, a cushy lifestyle, protected in government hammocks, while using the free-stuff crowd to boost their own numbers and importance and cash flow.
