“They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families.

People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations, because there is no such thing as an entitlement unless someone has first met an obligation” – Thatch, September 1987
“Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures, the essence of the evolutionary spirit” – Gordon Gekko “Wall Street” (1987)
“Tough on crime, and tough on the causes of crime” – Tony Blair, April 1994
“I only wanted something else to do but hang around” – The Pet Shop Boys “Suburbia” – September 1986

Who isn’t hanging around because they don’t have any money?” – David Cameron, July 2006
