It doesn’t threaten the underclass or the poor?
Nope. They get all the food and better cuts of meat for free. Got to feed the children you know. As with healthcare, too much government causes runaway inflation with too much money chasing too few goods. Now with so many of the so called poor getting free food that increases demand and voila, we have higher food prices.
Problem is that people getting free food will never be weaned off the dole. You get a job and you have to pay for your food. WHAT??? No way.
No, it doesn’t threaten them as they have the EBT cards and are wholly taken care of by the State.
Always keep in mind what Royal Meeker said about minimum wage! The purpose of minimum wage was never about social justice or fairness, it was about elimination of whole sectors of people! Minimum wage, is discrimination and social engineering at its worst.
Regarding Minimum Wage:
“It is much better to enact a minimum-wage law even if it deprives these unfortunates of work… better that the state should support the inefficient wholly and prevent the multiplication of the breed than subsidize incompetence and unthrift, enabling them to bring forth more of their kind.” - Royal Meeker, U.S. Commissioner of Labor, under Woodrow Wilson
Consider those “uneducated” folks recently protesting at fastfood chains for a $15 minimum wage. We realize that kind of wage increase will not only make fastfood too expensive even for the middle class, but it also will eliminate those same folks from their jobs!
Now also consider Michele Obama’s recent comments about ‘feeding her children,’ and bring together the idea that some folks are not worth minimum wage and NEED to be taken care of WHOLLY by the State. They, liberal elites, have no worries about the price of food...except they do worry about those unhealthy middle-class masses putting a burden on their utopian dreams. You or I and the lower classes should not be eating steak, beef, etc. Instead, they think we don’t eat healthy as it is and we’re incapable of teaching our children to be healthy either.
Put all this together with a minor food crisis and they have their opportunity to put more of us in a situation where we show up on their doorstep with our hands out to be wholly taken care of by the state!
