Back in the old Soviet days, people were told what they would do as a job in order to get their paltry sum. You did not have to be good at your assignment, but you had to do it anyway. A person knew they would never achieve anything better if they wanted to be excellent at it so who cares?
These people will eventually be made to do something. They won’t be allowed to sit home on their arse as they do now.
You’re probably right. Shame is a thing of the past.
This is what Trump’s policies were doing, especially with minorities. The leftist Dems could not allow this to happen. Self-reliance and self-respect are not what they seek in their voters. Dependence on government money is what Dems want.
Well, did the experiment end poverty?
Blame conservatives....
“permanent underclass that reliably votes “D” every time.”
The real physical voter turnout of the underclass is very low.
Of course when “all the votes are counted” after midnight that turns into high voter turnout in “our democracy”.
Moonbats will be moonbats...its embarrassing to have been brought up in South eastern Massachusetts like I was from the 60’s to 80’s before I left.
"Boston considers guaranteed income program to fight poverty"
If Boston wants to fight poverty, it needs to set its sights higher and do the following.
Boston needs to have another "tea party" by leading the states to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxing and spending that corrupt Congress cannot constitutionally justify, by repealing the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
From the congressional record:
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Pelosi: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." (non-FR; 6 sec.)
Democrats Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
just another version of the fascist left deep state Democrat vote-buying schemes using taxpayer money ...
That's what welfare, SNAP, EBT, etc, etc are.
If I wanted more bodies to support I would get them the old fashioned (fun) way!
Man I love the Little Rascals. Been watching them since 1962
It would be cheaper to implement a Guaranteed Meth Program and cut out the middlemen. /s
What about those who will be impoverished by the tax increases necessary to fun that guaranteed income?
