On Corin McCarthy's social democrat

Comments on Corin McCarthy “Markets bring mobility”, 1/10/2009, http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,26147805-5015664,00.html

Corin McCarthy has some wishful thinking.

Everyone should realise and acknowledge that in modern society, everyone has a responsibility for him/herself and it is not enough just relying on the government or others.

Government policies should encourage that one takes up his/her responsibility with a safety net.

If a particular person does not live up to his/her responsibility, then it is his/her choice not to do it and we all should not bother with him/her for that choice.

High tax, big government and intruding into people's private lives as opposed to encouraging self-responsibility are what Corin McCarthy's new social democrat. But such new social democrat will not be able to get support of the public as a whole.

So their wishful thinking will be withered by the cool responses of the society, unfortunately for them.
