You knew this, but it’s nice to be reminded. We get what we pay for. Conservatives 60 years ago said this would happen. It happened. It will keep happening. There is no turning back until the welfare state runs out of other people’s money.
You want an explanation for America’s growing inequality? Start here. The federal government, of course, never starts here. State and local governments never start here. Liberal media never start here. But we should.
When a society defines a family as a married couple, the following does not happen. When it defines a family as an unmarried mother, children, and a welfare check, this is the result.
It can be summarized on a bumper sticker. “They copulate. We pay.”
Yes, yes, I know: I am not politically correct. Tough.

Lets go back to making divorce and birth control illegal. Now those were the good old days.
ReplyDeleteBut, it's "for the children", isn't it??
ReplyDelete10:11 - how about when there was only one line at the grocery store that took food stamps - the only folks there would then be more ashamed of their status and tried to improve their position. Meanwhile, the rest of us could buy our groceries easier!
ReplyDeleteWe need to make it so folks are proud when they get off of these assistance programs!

That's an idea and go back to pulling out the food stamps in the little booklets. The cashier should be the one tearing out the stamps so they won't be sold for dope. Names need to be printed on the stamps and a proper ID should be shown.

ReplyDeleteNone of this "fixes" will work. When you have men and women standing on street corners begging making thousand dollars that are not taxed it is time to realize that bottom feeders in America have no shame. The local guy that begs in North Salisbury is bragging about his money and is socializing in the local bars with your money. Why would anyone be ashamed about standing in a different kind of line to use food stamps? Not likely. If you are decent and have self respect I'm afraid you have no way of understanding how these people have arrived where they are. You should be happy you have no understanding of how their minds work because that means you have self respect. I cannot imagine standing on a street corner without being totally at the end of my resources and all hope is lost. Instead... this is a way of life to be proud of. Sad.
