I would not abolish either one. (I did not read the article.)
It’s a dog eat dog world, and you can either work hard and succeed, or lie on your butt and starve AFAIC.
It’s time to rid the country of welfare as a way of life—in a lot of families, it’s been that way for generations.
It’s long passed time to cut this stuff out.
Women having kids out of wedlock? The kids’ should immediately go to a government run orphanage to perhaps be adopted out—or to go to a mandatory school when they’re old enough, where if they do the work and graduate, they may have a chance in this life.
Some might do better off in trade school—and we do need well trained tradesmen.
As long as we are paying large groups of people to have babies out of wedlock, we will never conquer this problem.

“I was all for Obamacare, before I knew I was the one that was going to be paying for it.”
Somehow, I think that’s the correct answer to this condundrum.
In the last two days you have posted 11 threads with no response on the threads from you.
You obviously have no respect for Free Republic posters as you seem much too elite and important to engage in conversations with us.
Which also shows that you don’t think your posts are important enough to support with communication.
If you are really interested in getting interest in your threads perhaps, in the case of this one, you could post the results of the poll every time change occurs.
If you do not do that, don’t expect any respect shown to you by those that you disrespect by just posting threads and being-obviously—much too self important to engage in a little back and forth with the posters here at Free Republic.
If you just want hits to your blog, you are on the wrong forum.
Most liberals would choose to end inequality, even if it means everyone is poor.
In any society you will have people that fill the whole spectrum of economic motivation. Some are economically motivated just enough to keep the tires on their 4WD and beer in the cooler. Some are economically motivated just enough to keep just a little food in a cardboard box and that’s it. Some are economically motivated to be number one in business and industry. Given this fact, the country with the biggest disparity between the non-motivated and the most-motivated would be the best.
I would abolish polls...
Eliminate poverty and a few days later some people will already be poor again.
A useless poll.
That’s like choosing between eliminating gravity or magnetism.
Asking the question/poll belies gross misunderstanding about economics.
Well, here in Flagstaff they made it illegal to be homeless...so they abolished it but did not eliminate it. Wasn’t it Jesus who said the poor will always be with us?
I would abolish liberals.
