And nary a word, ever, about the able bodied and lazy on welfare.
THIS!!! Want to truly HELP this nation - economically, morally, and physically? shut off welfare and a major chunk of “disability” recipients.
And as has been pointed out here on FR for decades: SHUT THE BORDERS to 99% of the current legal immigration and immediately deport 100% of those here illegally - and do it expeditiously.
And tie LEGAL immigration allowances to actual needs AFTER Americans are put back to work (mandatory, no health care, no food aid, no rent assistance for those who refuse to work and/or make up excuses not to work).
Implement the Fair Tax or the FLAT Tax (either is FAR more fair and “equitable” than the current, graduated “progressive” system that penalizes success and effort).
This, exactly. Anyone on welfare who can work should be working. Every single one of them. There should be no need to import workers. If specific skill sets are needed, and we don't have people with those skill sets, we need to ask ourselves as a nation why so much money is spent on education if we can't meet our societal needs. We have become a lazy nation, and part of the reason for that is that we don't make people pay a price for being lazy.
