See the excellent New York Times column from economist Tyler Cowen. We all see the need for increasing our investment in public infrastructure - - the movement toward a focus on the nation as makers and not just takers. But at the same time, if you are an engineer and own a house with a mortgage, you are a big taker (via your home mortgage deduction).
Talking in terms of makers and takers is going to require individuals to take a serious look in the mirror.
