I disagree, because what you suggest helps enable the leftist Cloward–Piven strategy, which seeks to destroy the nation.

Instead, the best way to neutralize it is to not support it. That is, “you cannot get blood from a turnip”. But just because a turnip gives no blood does not mean it is not doing fine on its own. Turnips existed before farmers, and people lived quite well with minimal government involvement.

You wouldn’t know it, but millions of Americans live below “the radar”, most of whom by choice. They do not carry ID cards, they deal only in cash, they do not talk to police unless forced and ignore government bureaucrats. And it is not an “either/or” proposition. Many people just make it an effort to lower their profile so much that they are ignored.

But then again, neither do they pay taxes, except local sales tax. They do not feed the beast, and because it is so expensive to harass them to file income taxes with a lot of zeros on them, the government has given up on trying to force them to do so.

So this is a good bottom line. Since the government wants to give some people endless largess, doesn’t have the money to do so, but pretends it does, so what? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that it will eventually fail as a system. But when it does, so what?

Government only really exists to protect us from foreign nations. If it can’t do that, or can’t manage its own affairs, a different government will supplant it.

There's one really big problem with their theory - human nature. They believe if we're thrust back into the stone age, the poor will finally get a fighting chance. It will be their turn to rise up and become the wealthy.
Problem. People live on social programs because they're lazy. People get rich because they're not. If we're ever thrust back into the stone age like the Oboma folks want, the lazy will still be lazy. The productive will still be productive.
In the end, we'll just be right back where we started. It will have all been a horrible, horrible waste of life.... for nothing.
