Societies, like individuals, can become sick.

And, as with individuals, the symptoms point to the pathology.

The shocking acceleration of antisemitism in our country is a sign that something is very wrong.

Antisemitism is a classic symptom of a society that has problems and is looking for someone to blame. Why is life so hard?

It is no accident that with the acceleration of antisemitism, we observe a strong movement on the political left toward socialism and antipathy to capitalism.

They all come from the same place: a problem in human nature that wants to pass blame and responsibility to others.

Capitalism means work, private property and personal responsibility. Socialism means the government will take care of you, which really means the government can take from Peter and give to Paul.

I began my life's work dealing with this problem. I saw the lives of low-income Americans being destroyed by the welfare state and have spent a good part of my life working to change this.

The pathology of blame is, like COVID-19, highly contagious........
