For that reason we’ll always need to keep the difference between rich and poor to a ‘manageable’ state. That means giving enough assistance to the poor to where we take from the rest of us. It goes against our principals but we have to make the homeless encampments disappear for starters. Mental joints are more expensive. Take away the talking points of the socialists to where their arguments fall on deaf ears. 10% of the population needs TOTAL care. Keep that number down and out of sight.
Think of Lennie(Of Mice And Men). No way he was getting laid. Could access to sex have saved him? Bouncers in the cat house hallway ready to pounce? Doomed to be tragic.
Think the Great Society. Pay off the poor so that they don’t riot. Looks like there’s a sweet spot making them work 85 hours a month. I say double that at a real job-no ‘school’ or volunteer work.
