Thanks for posting this.
““It is much better to enact a minimum-wage law even if it deprives these unfortunates of work… better that the state should support the inefficient wholly and prevent the multiplication of the breed than subsidize incompetence and unthrift, enabling them to bring forth more of their kind.” - Royal Meeker, U.S. Commissioner of Labor, under Woodrow Wilson.”
Add abortion and basically mandatory birth control for the unfortunates, and you have the modern Democrat party in action.
It really is a stunning statement.
Why more people do not know eugenics behind the ‘welfare’ system is amazing to me.
There is class warfare going on in our country, but it is the Democrats who are waging it upon the “inefficient.”
“...Prevent the multiplication of the breed,” can one even imagine that being said today? Meeker wasn’t talking about white people in this statement. They knew/know that having a minimum wage excludes the low-skilled from jobs, raising it excludes even more “unfortunates.”
The very idea about “Feeling good about being unemployed,” is counter-intuitive to one’s own basic survival instinct. And yet millions go against that instinct every day, why can’t they see their prison?
