I think there is such a thing, maybe not by name, but if I understand him correctly I would agree.I'm not advocating any of this but...getting rid of welfare, would go a long way toward that, so would not anointing a Queen, of course if ya choose to go the other way on this then you may have to dispense with the democracy part instead.Why don't they just call it "Welfare Queens Against Democracy"?
The sort of reply that shows that more needs to be done to stop future generations thinking like you do.
No, not getting rid of welfare, making welfare more intelligent.
Intelligent welfare? Talk about an oxymoron.
lets say someone is in a position that maybe the lost a job they had and are not qualified to do anything else, or they for whatever reason ended up having to work and care for a family before they had skills or education, maybe its a woman that had a kid or two and then the scumbag sperm donor decided to run off or was killed etc.. There are times when even I have to say that its the right thing to do to help these people. So in these instances, I feel (and its only my opinion Im not trying to speak for anyone else) but, in these instances and other situations that might be similar, I think it is our responsibility to see that these people are given a hand to ensure they dont starve or "die in the streets" I would be all for them getting a place to live, some spending money, medical attention if needed from the taxpayer. Its the right thing to do. However, while getting that assistance, I think they need to step up and contribute, Im not talking about going down and flipping a burger or working the register at the local dollar store, What I would want to see is them back in school, they can go to college and get an education to open the doors for them, or maybe a trade school where they can learn a trade that will allow them to take care of themselves. But they have to show that they are working towards a goal to be self sufficient. Those that want to just kick back and collect that check once a month? sorry, the free ride is over. No attempt to better yourself? no check.
That would be a good investment of taxpayer dollar. But that is not what is happening right now.
Be reasonable give 6 years maximum for them to recieve the assistance, this gives them time to secure a degree even if they cant attend the college on a full time basis.
what we get out of it? the taxpayers ends up with a new member of the taxpayers club, We have someone raising their children and teaching them respect for themselves and others. but mostly, we get someone contributing to society instead of being a life long drain.
There are ways to fix the welfare problem.
What we can not do is continue to give free housing, food, cell phones, transportation, medical care, etc... to someone that has no desire to ever carry their own weight and contribute along with the rest of us.
If welfare was used like that, I would not have a single word to say against it.
Medical insurance is a different story, that is something that should not be free to anyone.
