Exploding The "Inequality" Scam

So without welfare, you'd have died as a small child.  Seems you've made a strong argument for social welfare, my taker friend.

I myself have never taken a penny, not I, not my father/mother, but I respect that such systems keep folks like you alive when in need.  And I am glad for it, the world is better with you in it, as opposed to dead from starvation.

Very fair and valid argument.   We were on welfare after dad died.   Probably collected about 5 years or so.  I would add to your point, the free lunch program was absolutely a game changer for me.    How ever, we have generations of families now accustomed to this.  

At at some point... Government must step back. 50 percent of Americans pay no tax.  That's simply wrong.  Work and vocation are the only sustainable answer to substance and some real happiness. 

Why? Because individuals will solve these problems alone? Because our Corporations will not exploit every and any chance to abuse a Govt. free system? Please, we know you're not that naive my friend.



Why? People who have more than they could ever possibly need can afford to pay and suffer in no real meaningful way for having done so, people who have less than they need cannot and should not. Taking $1.00 from some poor schmuck so we don't have to take that dollar for a guy with $100,000,000 is not moral nor is it righteous. It's exploitation, by the rich, for for the rich, to the benefit of the rich and the rich alone.

Whats amazing is how many average slubs with no chance to EVER be rich themselves they've convinced to vote against their own fiscal interests. Be assured, unless you make some unreasonable amount of money, Universal Healthcare paid for by taxing the rich is better for you than the current system. Millions, including the vast majority of "derp no socialism in my merica!" Republican voters, would benefit greatly in fiscal terms to the detriment of a very few who would simply not get that fifth car or that third 10,000 sq ft. house in Paris. Yet they're convinced their impossible shot at Trump-like welath is better than actual things paid for by taxing the rich.  Amazing that middle class voters would rather eat shit in our current system than support the rich paying higher taxes and themselves getting more benefits.

The fact is more people who so loudly proclaim they "earned" what they have did not in fact do so. The circumstances of their births, who they were born to, where, what color and gender and sexuality, their genetics, their parents efforts, their teachers efforts, their local school districts, etc, etc, etc, played vastly more of a role in their future success than any "effort" they themselves put in. People are products of their circumstances in the vast majority. Exceptions exist, and they only serve to prove the majority rule.



If you believe this, then surely you are for a living wage, so the people you so easily bemoan for being on welfare, but ARE working, can stop taking welfare and be paid right?

I mean you do understand that the low wage can only exist because corporations are taking advantage of welfare to get away with paying so little, right? No welfare = no more taking a $7.00 jobs for anyone.

What the ultra-rich and their useful-idiot not-rich-but-think-they-have-a-chance-to-be friends don;t get is that wealth disparity can only go so far.

Go too far, and rich will be eaten by the poor.

uh, there has always been a huge gap.  the question is whether or not ordinary people are being systematically held down by the rich.  in this case it's not true.  go take a look at the forbes list of rich people.  by and large it is made up of people who created wealth for themselves without first having a silver spoon planted firmly in their mouths.  and that list is always churning so many people on it one year are off it the next.  finally take a look at all of those wall street banksters who are there.  right, there aren't that many.  heck i'll bet the walton family outnumbers to number of banksters on the list.  the old adage of shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in 3 generations still mostly applies.  and, by the way, there are rules for adjusting corporate salaries and bonuses, it's called the board room.  the corporate governance laws could be changed to allow the shareholders more power in setting corporate salaries.  companies incorporate in delaware to avoid governance rules thereby letting the ceo's run roughshod over the shae holders.

what i see as the real problem is the growth of the political class.  that is people who are growing up to be politicians or whose jobs exist as a direct result of government.  there are tons of middle and high level bureaucrats who are entrenched in the system and are also bringing their children into the system.  they essentially control the cost of government and the agencies they are in are actually making the laws.  the number of agencies means that there are not only duplicated laws but laws that are ambiguous  and difficult to understand.  wasn't it jefferson who said a nation can not afford to be free and ignorant?  well, ignorance of the law is a crime but if the laws are too ambiguous and unintelligible then how can anyone understand them?  they can't so basically with each passing year we have more and more people who are essentially law breakers.

Show me one LEGITIMATE source calling for the end of all social welfare.

More government isn't always the answer to bad government so sometimes obstruction of a plan is a good plan when they are blocking a garbage plan

I have skills so it wouldn't be too lucrative for me.

Your analysis should have also been applied to the insurance industry before the Obamacare albatross. I also stated above that outsourcing is bad.
