By applying liberty so that people can WORK and survive will open up opportunities to the poor. If you don’t “need” what liberal social workers say you “need,” then there’s no reason to ask for a handout. If your first step on the ladder is living in a tent or shanty while working to lift yourself up why should the government take that away and make you into a dependent drone?
There should be consequences for sloth and rewards for work. Period. The “safety net” makes us weaker.
We're closer than you might think. Why? Because 'work' is one of the bounties of life. It's a gift to feel worthwhile - ask any retiree.
