“All over the country cities are passing laws making it illegal to feed the homeless, and in other instances cities are actually making it illegal to be homeless.”
The author sticks this worm in to a nice apple-y article about the poor WORKING people. (For THEM, I ache)
The homeless here...eat very well, with many meals freely given to them by well- meaning, but sadly misguided liberals.
Many homeless are obese dt the # of freebies they get, and believe me, they do know how to game the system.
Never mind the blight they bring to the rest of us.
Crime, public intoxication, drugs, crazy unnecessary drama, feces, vomit, used condoms... noooo!
I gots to feel good about myself and feeds em.
I don’t know about making it illegal to feed them...but you know, it’s illegal in National Parks.
Decreases the animal’s skills to survive = they become dependent.
What’s the diff?
We need to somehow “target” the WORKING poor.
“If you don’t work, you don’t eat” THAT is moral.
Feeding non-working scam artists is immoral.
PS
I just figured out the “Target Program”:
Reduce ALL taxes to flat 9%
Abolish stoopid alphabet agencies
Do everything else to slash spending that we’ve kvetched about on here for YEARS (UN, ETHANOL, PBS, etc. buh bye!)
In the resulting economy (through the roof Alice!) - anyone who is not working is either certifiably disabled of slothful.
spank for prez!
“If you don’t work, you don’t eat” THAT is moral.
That’s a great concept that worked for many years here, when jobs were plentiful and Americans weren’t competing with Red Chinese peasants (who weren’t afforded a fraction of the rights or protections we would require for our own workers).
I knew when welfare reform passed they weren’t going to cut off the multi-generational welfare recipients; they would just change the name of what they were receiving. The “white” alternative I’ve seen a few times is to get a fake “autism spectrum” diagnosis for your child to receive Social Security for them.
*** and in other instances cities are actually making it illegal to be homeless.”****
I remember when cities and towns had vagrancy laws to keep the bums out. Then the courts threw the laws out an the bums took over the local public facilities.
Has something changed?
