I agree with you absolutely that welfare programs are anti-human and destructive of society.
You argue that since these socialist depredations are irreversible, we must abandon our liberal, capitalist and open society in favor of a more closely-regulated one.
I argue that we should cancel the war on community and individual responsibility, and let the chips fall where they may.
The WOD is a misbegotten policy in its entirety. Founded in racism and personal ambition, it has had the inevitable result of enriching murderous criminals and corrupt officials around the world.
An entirely new strategy should not be dismissed simply because it would reflect poorly on the existing bureaucracy and their thuggish disregard for American freedoms.
I do not. I simply am telling you what is.
"I argue that we should cancel the war on community and individual responsibility, and let the chips fall where they may."
Nope. You want to take away the laws against drugs, gambling, prostitution, etc., then "let the chips fall where they may"?
Hell, those "chips" will fall right into one or more of the existing federal government programs. Let's double the number of people on welfare, then we'll try to get rid of the program, huh?
How about this? Let's get rid of the social programs first, thereby forcing people to assume personal responsibility. Once these programs are gone, I would venture to guess that the citizenry would be much more receptive to ending the "war on community and individual responsibility", since the results of ending that war will have little impact on their lives.
