America Needs to Implement Forced Labor

[Afterword]

What do you mean by slave labor? We agree to support them and they agree to work for it. The key word here is "agree."

As you may or may not be aware, the word "force" was used in the post I was responding to - not "agree".

"Venezuela can do it" because Venezuelan government is not bound by that pesky document that democrats often wave around but never read, the U.S. Constitution.

Our infrastructure is crumbling aka bridges, roads, etc. We have huge,huge untapped sources of labor that is not being utilized....we let this potential labor pool subsist on the dole and thus they are a drain on our economy aka parasites. We could force these people to work...

Sounds like slave labor, unless you give them union wages and benefits and a choice. Since this is the land of the free, I assume this is what you meant to say.

I dont think that land of the free was ever meant to be taken as then land of getting everything for free.
You are free to work and eat, you are free to do nothing and starve.
fairly basic stuff here.

We could force these people to work...cleaning up streets, city parks, fighting mosquitoes,rats and cockroaches. They could be used in so many ways..yet they sit idle....drawing food stamps and other gubmint checks and they moonlight shoplifting, selling drugs and other sorts of criminal behavior...these are the thugs hanging out on the street corner...riding the subways and busses threatening and intimidating citizens.

If the socialist paradise of Venezuela can do it...why can't we?

Venezuela's new decree: Forced farm work for citizens

Why use code to signal you're talking about black people when there are more whites than blacks on welfare?

Measured in raw numbers, of course, given that Blacks are only 12% of the total US population...

However, as a percentage of that demographic's total population? That's a welfare check of another color...

Doesn't matter.

blacks were never mentioned, are you trying to tell us that when you think of the lifestyle described above you automatically think black?
Talk about racist.

and what percentage of any particular gets a welfare check

I dont think that land of the free was ever meant to be taken as then land of getting everything for free.

And that of course is not what I said - as I am sure you are aware. To "force" someone denies them of their right to choose, which deprives them of their freedom.

Being poverty stricken is not a crime and does not forfeit said freedom.

 

[Neotrotsky]

true enough
but becoming dependent on gov't or expecting from the gov't
does forfeit your freedom

 

[Montrovant]

No it does not.

 

[Neotrotsky]

The gov't giveth and the gov't taketh away

That may be what you want, but it is not the present reality. Hopefully, it never will be. Land of the free for only the fortunate, just does not work for me.

 

[Neotrotsky]

Indeed

Bread and circuses

panem et circenses

 

[defcon4]

Unconstitutional.

...... food stamp and welfare check is?

And just what made them fortunate?

Doesn't mean the word forced was correctly used. Nobody is forced to do anything in the US other than purchase healthcare.

Some Americans now,
are working two jobs so a Queen Hillary supporter does not have to work one

I agree. It would give overweight right wingers something to do besides ruin toys.

 

[Neotrotsky]

looks more like the men Democrats want to let into the ladies room
with people's mother, wife and daughter

 

[Neotrotsky]

Like Queen Hillary the first person who self-identifies as a woman running for President

this person is self-identifying as a woman
giving birth to a Democrat
