Marion G. Romney gave a talk in 1982, The Celestial Nature of Self-Reliance.
Found in March's Ensign.
"The practice of coveting and recieving unearned benefits has now become so fixed in our society that even men of wealth, possessing the means to produce more wealth, are expecting the government to guarantee them a profit. Elections often turn on what the candidates promise to do for voters from government funds. This practice, if universally accepted and implemented in any society, will make slaves of its citizens."
What was said in 1982 could have been said today and it couldn't be more relevant.
