i mean their wellfair provides them everything if they dont work
and they dont work
i don't think its a single-fix solution either,
But right now it doesn't work AND it strains everyone else who pays taxes
And as its set right now, theres no goal of improvement because these people have little incentive to
give welfare for the able-bodied a wind-down period
lets say, food stamps.
For a certain period, you're eligible for food stamps
they are deoendent on us. cold turkey is not the solution to this dependency when 4 of the 5 needs are what the dependency meets
after that period is up, you're instead sent staples.
Rice, beans, potatoes. Not left to die, but not left comfortable.
but thats the issue, they're dependent on us, and our current solution to it, is to give them more of the same, so they become MORE dependent
The next worse thing to an addict is an enabler.
you are kinda assuming jobs will just spring out of nowhere in these poor communitys where no ones spending enough money for jobs to exist and then your lowering how much money people have till they need jobs
Which poor communities are we talking about?
you know, the ghetto ones
Those are usually in the inner cities.
High crime and high population go hand-in-hand.
That's not to say smaller populations can't have problems
but in a big city, work is usually available. Especially right now.
Right now, we're in a deficit for employees
it actually isint a 1:1 ratio if you consiter europe
its more high wealth inequality high crime
they're only obligated to 7.25
and citys are wear wealth inequality is most distinct
because you have the rich who own the city living with the poor that cant own the countryside
If you're making $30,000 sustaining yourself, I promise you, you generally don't worry too much about someone making 200,000.
Higher income does not lead to higher happiness.
There's a certain median income of comfort.
the poor can't afford things because they're being forced to pay a lot "for their own good" etc
anyway
shit like Obamacare's individual mandate and the like.
(SO GLAD that's gone!)
that, and the fact taxes are generally higher in states with large metropolitans
i legitamently think the inital reaction to having less money the ghetto will have is to steal
so your solution is to strain the taxpayer by forcing them to pay-off these criminals,
Who still steal regardless
If it kept crime rates low, i'd be right there with ya
sure but you dont have confruntations with people with guns
you wont have more criminals than police officers
The core issue is that those who leave the intellectual plantation and try to strike out for themselves are ridiculed.
I've heard it said that the true white privilege is not being expected to think a certain way.
And it strikes me as true
