This would lead to massive new jobs, exploration, innovation, etc.
Which would make people feel less dependent on the government....and start to dislike their high taxes and increasing government regulations.....and then start voting conservative.
The libs in power know how that works. They're not going to allow people to grow and prosper through private industry alone. When that happens, people start asking "why is the government taking so much of my money to fund assistance programs that I don't benefit from?" rather than asking "Why can't the government increase assistance programs so I get more from them?"
Most voting liberals vote with emotion....with the false belief that the right thing to do is to use money from the "haves" to make sure the "have-nots" are helped along to prosperity.
The reality is that allowing people to receive money, healthcare, and other assistance for no work on their end only makes it much easier to stay a "have-not" and get free help rather than work hard to turn themselves into a "have."
Even worse, the person that WANTS to work, the person that is trying to work their way up to the "haves," and would actually benefit greatly from the government assistance....is often the type of person that won't apply for the assistance, because they want to do it themselves.
My parents got married right out of high school and didn't go to college. They would have certainly qualified for government assistance in more than one area....but they would never accept something for nothing. So, my father worked overtime, took weekend jobs, applied for any journeyman contract work he could find, etc., so that my mother could go to college and they could move "up" in the world. Since then, my Mother has gone on to a graduate degree, my Father's work ethic has moved him up through the levels to better positions and higher pay......and they're now the "haves" that are giving up their hard earned money to the government....knowing full well that a big portion of the people that their money SHOULD be going to, won't accept the hand-out.
