***She won’t get a real job for fear she will lose the gravy train of free money and gov aid.***

Sounds like my worthless brother-in-law(If you know him he probably owes you money). He has not held a job since 1981, preferring to live on the gov’t dole.

Not just adult children, anyone living in your home or who you are willing to lie and claim lives in your home. My sister works for a manufacturer (yeah there are still a few in this country) and was told, flat out, that anyone they wanted to put on their insurance was fine by them.

Never was a mystery, really.

There are several evil influences on both sides of this that encourage the replacement of the husband/father with the government. Women are told to be “independent” [of men], but are still wired for seeking a provider and protector. Politicians under the influence of the prince of this world use this desire to further their own power.

I looked up “perverse incentive” on wikipedia.

“A perverse incentive is an incentive that has an unintended and undesirable result which is contrary to the interests of the incentive makers. Perverse incentives are a type of unintended consequences.”

I don’t agree with this definition. The negative societal consequences and results of most leftist policies are neither unintended nor undesirable to the incentive makers.

Now, the sheeperals’ intent is to feel good about themselves for “caring” and supporting these destructive programs, and they’ll cover their ears and yell if you try to explain how these policies are DESTRUCTIVE to the people they think they are helping.

The alarming element is the accommodating male that has betrayed our mutual requirement of Liberty.
