Biden and the Marxist Dems just allowed 10 million plus new Welfare Recipients over the last two years.
The world today has simply become a global competition of our socialist/fascist nanny-state, vs. China, Russia, and other Socialist/fascist nanny-states for financial dominance and resources.
China doesn’t have dependency on the government and they have more money than we do hey somethings wrong oh wait it’s socialism.
Great article exposing the Leftist economic lie. Poverty measurements (oddly) do not include the main income of the economically challenged.
They point out huge income disparities and call for massive redistribution, but don’t count the trillions already paid through the thousands of programs already in place, and they don’t count the trillions in taxes already taken from the higher earners.
Almost as though it’s intentional, a key component of lying.
Search for any debunk of Piketty for more in this, such as:

Two important points, how your income compares to someone else is not the issue. Secondly stop lying to us when you make those comparisons.
Any free society that has an economic ladder has ‘disparity’. The measurement we’re looking for is upward mobility. How many generations does it take to get out of poverty and OFF OF PUBLIC SUPPORT. The right answer should be less than one. Almost everyone could do it - if we weren’t so busy trying to stop them. And then there would be more resources available for those truly in need. Is that not what an honest liberal would want?
I’m not a Biblical expert but I believe the word of God has more emphasis on giving than taking.
So this did not cheer me up. Not one bit.
BTW - On the Render unto Caesar thing - well, I just can’t quite figure out who Caesar is these days. But it seems like the modern-day Blind Bartimaeus and the Man with the Withered Hand (among several others) are “Caesars”.
They sure seem to “seize our” resources and eat up our livelihood.
Need to ponder on this a good while longer.
