It all goes back to one basic principle.

If you want something to flourish, subsidize it.

If you don’t want something to flourish, don’t subsidize it.

Just end it. Let black America, and the whites that are gaming the system too, learn to work for their living just like everyone else.

Like I said, there are numerous things to consider. We do not live in a society that will tolerate people starving in the streets. Especially the elderly and infirm.

We spend a lot of money trying to administer gov’t “charity” for these types of people. Yes, you get more of what you subsidize.

That is a compelling argument for ending all assistance.

But, are we really ready to do that? Is private charity ready to jump in and make sure that everyone who is truly needy gets cared for?

I don’t know the answers to that.

I do know that cutting out middlemen and providing direct assistance universally would be a lot simpler and efficient.

Any guaranteed income would need to be just barely sufficient. Work should pay and make a difference to peoples’ lives.
