Something is amiss with so many blacks.
The “amiss” part was LBJ’s so-called “War on Poverty” succeeded in destroying the Black nuclear family and creating a permanent underclass. But hey, they vote Democrat to ensure they get their substance “crumbs”, so that’s all Democrats really care about.
Well, actually it was his “Great Society” brainfart, but his WOP and his GS go hand-in-hand.
This is a point I mention every time I see an opening to bring it into the conversation.
The "War on Poverty", was a deliberate, calculated vote buying scheme.
The reason Johnson launched it is because Liberal North Eastern Republicans had succeeded in getting the 24th amendment passed, and since then, many heretofore disenfranchised blacks could now vote, and at the time they vastly favored Republicans.
The 24th amendment did not just ban "poll taxes", it banned the requirement for paying *ANY* taxes.
This is the point in history where the nation put a gun to it's head and pulled the trigger. The destruction of many nations can be tracked back to fiscal insolvency, and that is what invariably happens when you allow non-contributors have a say in how taxes get spent.
The 24th amendment is where the nation started to die. Johnson immediately took advantage of it and took all those voters away from those Liberal North Eastern Republicans who thought they were going to gain more power from the move.
Johnson outsmarted them, but in doing so he destroyed the sanity of the nation. Our massive out of control crime (due to fatherless households of non taxpayers) and our massive federal debt, are the consequences of the 24th amendment.
