Why the Welfare State Isn't Well and It Isn't Fair

The ends justify the means, and the rule of law is sacrificed in the name of social justice

Throughout most of the 19th and 20th centuries Socialism had a fairly precise definition, a somewhat clear program, and a generally agreed-upon goal. The definition of Socialism was some variant of Karl Marx’s well known statement, “From each according to the ability to each according to their need.” Socialism’s program was the nationalization of all means of production, exchange, and distribution. Socialism’s goal was the use of all three in a comprehensive plan to bring about some chimera of social justice.

There were two general schools or roads socialists followed to utopia, Marxism and Fabianism. Both were variants of Socialism. They differed mainly in their stated ultimate ideal of a Socialist State and how to get there.

The thing is why is welfare constitutional in the first place? There’s a difference between donating to the poor then being forced to donate. The government is stealing your money to give to someone else and now it seems to illegals as well. It just blows my mind the crap government gets away with. Obamacare is another one. It just confirms to me that the GOP is utterly and completely dead, they are posers, totally useless. We are a one party country, and that party does anything it damn feels like. Today welfare, Obamacare, tomorrow whatever freedom you have left. I tell you it seems simple, but what we need is a leader with a big fat mouth who can just utterly obliterate these punks to jelly in any debate, expose them for what they are and rally the country together to fight this sh*t.

Socialism is theft of property from a producer to give to a non-producer. In a Utopian world with leprechauns, 4 leaf clovers, and a pot of gold it still wouldn’t work because some people just wont pull their weight when they have the means to do so. There a lot of lazy people out there. Unfortunately they’re also the most self-entitled ones as well and any won’t get up off their butts and work, often feigning illness or injuries just to keep from doing it. In the bible it says in several places - you don’t work, you don’ eat. I think there’s a good reason it’s in there.

Add that that person, whoever they are, won’t give a rats behind about the pundits whining about how mean they are. I am really convinced most Americans HATE getting their hard worked for dollars urinated away on government waste and welfare for bums.
The problem is the media is in the leftist tank and will find the whiners to whine about it an that’s all we will hear about. Pretty soon people think that’s just what the majority wants, but they don’t.
