Government does not and cannot provide prosperity.

But government was created exactly to "...promote the general welfare

opinion, those blessings include a decent living and a fair share in the
benefits of this country for all Americans (not just the wealthy).

But those that are unwilling to work when they are able to,
shouldn't expect the handout (IMHO).
