Muddy, you just can't figure this shit out can you? Poor people in this country are an industry. Because they are poor, they provide a reason for thousands and thousands of JOBS for the people taking care of the poor.
I know you don't like that idea and neither do I. But that is the way it is. What to do about it is the trick.
I read an article this AM about the decline in the numbers of people reaching the American Dream.
And it ain't looking good for Dreamers.
You want to do something for poor people? Hire one. Or two.
But as long as there is a poor person industry and as long as poor people are made to feel no real pain for being poor, there will always be a welfare state.
You think all those welfare case workers WANT to loose their jobs? You think all the Dem politicians want to lose those votes? You think all those "non profit" organizations with the top people making big bucks, you think they want the poor to go away?
Hey who says we don't make anything in America anymore. We make poor people.
Poor people are an industry? I think that completely covers the way the Democrat party views the poor of America. As Rahm Emanuel said, Never let a good crisis go to waste. Right?
Maybe we should go back to "real industry"? Like Coca - cola plants, car manufacturing plants, bringing back America through MAKING OUR OWN PRODUCTS AGAIN instead of buying from China and driving all our manufacturers overseas because of outrageous taxes?
It is time for America to return to her senses. I remember an Israeli man who told me the problem with America is that we stopped producing! We used to be an industrious nation manufacturing products and exporting to the world! Today we import everything from China! There is no money coming in! As Zeke has told us! The poor people are the Industry of America today! If we didn't have poor people, we'd all be out of jobs! By gosh! He may be right because according to polls there are more people working for the government than any other group! Imagine that!
I would add to Zeke's list the other major money producer that keeps the economy going ( aside from poor people ) is our prison population! We have more prisoners in prisons in America than any other nation on earth including North Korea, China, or Russia. They are producing products for the govt now at $1.40 an hour and will soon be allowed to compete with private businesses here inside america ( the final nail in the coffin for small business who cannot compete with wages of $1.40 an hour ) which will finish us off. Yes, Folks, the govt is now in private business with the prisons ( another violation of our constitution ) and dependent upon prisoners to compete with other communist nations whose pay scale meets that $1.40 an hour or less our own govt is paying their "workers"...
The truth is there is no recovery plan. The plan America is running off will lead to utter destruction.
