Elizabeth Warren and liberalism, twisting the ‘social contract’ – The Washington Post.

I wonder if George Will is being deliberately obtuse? He has taken Warren’s statement on the social contract and extends it into a collectivist political agenda.

The collectivist agenda is antithetical to America’s premise, which is: Government — including such public goods as roads, schools and police — is instituted to facilitate individual striving, a.k.a. the pursuit of happiness.

The individual striving is enabled by the government infrastructure and it is fair and equitable that any success in the pursuit of happiness provide some payback. And the greater the success the greater the payback should be. Or as Warren refers to it – pay forward.
