Well because they were brainwashed through propaganda into thinking that a free lunch is threatening to the economy. And there may be some justification for that. The old rules no longer apply.

If you can settle distribution of resources problems with business based competition then it breaks out into real warfare. Why should American nonworkers get a bigger paycheck than Chinese nonworkers? Why should they be allowed to consume more?
