My eyes water.
There is no overstating the evil of the welfare state in destroying humanity.
“Progressive” is a fraud. Call them socialists, communists or Marxists. As bad as “climate change”
All this was by design and done on purpose.
LBJ and democrats purposely set in place the destruction of freedom and Capitalism and they introduced the Welfare State complete with Socialist goals and ideas.
You can have open immigration or you can have a welfare state, but you can’t have both for very long.
The country will bankrupt itself. It doesn’t work to punish success and reward failure.
As a white, Christian, heterosexual, conservative male in my 40’s am i eligible to collect?
In a time of serious national emergency, many of these nanny-state dependents will begin to starve.
The enemy will appeal to them directly, telling them that if they help defeat the US they’ll be taken care of later.
That will create a fifth column consisting of roughly one-third of the total population to make mayhem from the behind the lines.
The Free Traders off shored the low IQ jobs. Now it is “cheaper” to import slave manufactured junk and stipend the idle here. Hey, I am the tariff guy don’t look at me....
I worked the past week from 7am to 9pm. WTF am I doing? Some days I read the stories of welfare and taxes and as soon as I have the means to go Gault, sell my business, and liquidate my machinery guess what?
In very simple terms..., if you are employed to hand out benefits..., how do you excel?? It is very simple, you merely hand out as much as you can, "bending" or totally ignoring the rules for entitlement! I observed this almost 50 years ago, even in Florida, where social workers spoke proudly about the people they "helped" by ignoring the "rules"... (after a few drinks to lubricate their tongues!) It is FAR MORE prevalent today!!!
ALL this money goes to business and the media they advertise on.
ALL of it.
Profit is the reason the Chamber of Commerce and the media fight so hard against conservatives.
Socialism is based on a false concept of human nature, which denies self interested behavior. That is why socialist states like the USSR, China, Cuba and the like ended up as totalitarian states.
The "people's revolution" has to be forced upon the masses at the point of a gun. Which is, of course, why liberals hate having citizens own guns. Socialists want to ensure only the government has guns. Which, of course, explains the body counts in the USSR, China and Cuba.
Curiously, George Will sees no problem with amnesty for 11-20 million illegals who will go straight onto the welfare rolls.
