The State Lives At Our Expense

The submission deadline for Sir John M. Templeton Fellowships Essay Contest for junior faculty and students in higher education is on May 3, 2010.

The topic is:

"Everyone wants to live at the expense of the state. They forget the state wants to live at the expense of everyone.”
—Frederic Bastiat (1801–1850)

Assuming Bastiat is correct, what ideas or reforms could be developed that would make people better aware that government wants to live at their expense?
