...a bevy of totalitarian shit.
Thanks for rationally explaining my exact same thoughts.
We already provide free education to the poor (and most of the Liberal colleges have now dumb down them so that a D is passing).
They get childcare funds if going to school
They get low income housing
They good food stamps
They Medicaid Health care and Prescriptions
They get rehab and drug help, Methadone treatments
Perhaps we should give them a lifetime one lump sum- abuse it and you are done.
Hmmmm...I can just see how that would work....
I like your idea.
The men were free to decide what to spend it on.
We already have a lot of programs. If existing money isn’t enough, nothing will be.
And we’d end up with a large proportion blowing their free money, demanding more free food, housing and services. Many people are poor because of bad choices that they keep making (popping out kids they cannot support, gambling, drugs, alcohol addiction, enabling criminal offspring).
Then we would have people getting the free money and still needing a plethora of additional services, simply upping the total bill.
“The 13 would get a drastic bailout, financed by taxpayers.”
So... the money isn’t free.
Why is it that every time the government hands out cash, it’s considered “free” when, in reality, it’s confiscated from those who work for it?
“Give money to the poor, and it all ends up back in the hands of the rich within a matter of days.
“That’s why the Bolsheviks understood that the only solution was to simply shoot the rich.”
Let’s try it another way this time. Let’s take all the people on extended unemployment compensation and other welfare programs, and put them and their families into permanent work camps after 2 years on welfare.
Why just give money to people who can’t take care of themselves? They obviously need more help than that, and we are being inhumane by not giving them that help. Why are we so uncaring as to just give them money?
A life sentence for them and their children, to clean and polish the new solar power arrays in the California deserts will give them the dignity of work and help our renewable energy program at the same time.
And for a double benefit, almost no one else will ever again apply for welfare!
