"The Trouble With Socialism" - Protests Turning Thatcher's Words into Prophecy

 “The trouble with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.” ---Margaret Thatcher - NewsNM note (Spence) - Beyond this prophecy we also recall these words from Margaret Thatcher in a 1987 interview for Women's Own magazine: "I think we have gone through a period when too many children and people have been given to understand "I have a problem, it is the Government's job to cope with it!" or "I have a problem, I will go and get a grant to cope with it!" "I am homeless, the Government must house me!" and so they are casting their problems on society and who is society? There is no such thing! There are individual men and women and there are families and no government can do anything except through people and people look to themselves first. It is our duty to look after ourselves and then also to help look after our neighbour and life is a reciprocal business and people have got the entitlements too much in mind without the obligations."
