COVER
Few understand the background of the state's intervention into the area of
care for the elderly and indigent. The rise of humanism and Protestantism
opened doors to the state to administer-and raise taxes for-wbat was once
the province of the church and family. And now a vast bureaucracy has
emerged to administer today's social taxes.
