Citizens do not need handouts

Citizens do not need handouts Steve Alvarez - THE EDITOR: The old idiom “don’t bite the hand that feeds you” was first seen in print during the 18th century, when political writer Edmund Burke said “having looked to government for bread, on the first scarcity they will turn and bite the hand that fed them.” That phrase is believed to be hundreds of years old. Today I want to approach that phrase differently. I want to suggest that if you do not want to be bitten, do not feed the masses. The people, if allowed and encouraged, would not only feed themselves but create enough to feed others in need. In TT and in many other countries, governments seem to think it is their responsibility to feed the population. The result is usually the same. At the first site of disruption from the norm they turn and bite the hand that fed them.
