For instance, a tofuburger is touted as tasting just like a hamburger.
Why would they want to even attempt that? I thought that hamburger was evil!
Agree. I often get into debates about welfare payments. My point: Welfare doesn’t solve the problem, it perpetuates it. Take those same dollars and spend it on retraining and creating a skill set that’s valued in the marketplace. Welfare payments only exist for the training period. Use the German workfare model.
The Liberal says I don’t care about the poor. Somewhat true. I don’t care that they are poor, I want to know WHY they are poor and then devise a policy that bootstraps them out of poverty, not lock them into it.
The Liberal solution is to take money away from productive members of society and give it away. If I have 20% of the available economic pie and you have only 5%, the Liberal want to take 7.5% away from me and give it to you. Problem: if I do that with no increase in production, all we do is raise prices.
My solution, use monetary and fiscal policy to increase the SIZE of the economic pie. If we grow the pie by 10%, your income just increased by 10%. With stable prices, your real income and standard of living just increased. Liberals don’t understand that a rising tide lifts all boats. Instead, the want to sink the yachts and crowd everyone into rowboats.
