Description:

students in higher education is held every year. The submission
deadline is May 3. Winners will be announced in October. The Sir
Templeton Fellowships will be awarded for the best essay on the topic:
“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?
