It's important to remember welfare rarely if ever affects productivity or employment of workers and causes more good than harm, however extended unemployment insurance can cause more harm than good when it comes to employment
However the affects on employment is very small
@Chemar but if they don't at least clean up their act they lose their benefits.
In my area, we enforce rules on who is allotted said benefits nd welfare. They must have a job, proper initiative to continue to progress their life, etc. Otherwise they get the plug pulled on them.
Politicians like bernie sanders say that shit all the time
Communists have big gay
It is
There is a reason for why the ten richest people have more than the poorest one billion people
You do realize our GPD is growing right?
Rich are getting richer and poor are getting richer
we are at 57000 a year
higher than anywhere else
I mean I think it's a good sign that the poorest people in the US and UK are overweight rather than skinny
It means that, while they're not eating the best food, they are at least getting a hold of something
Compare this to nations in Central Africa, Venezuela, China, India
Where the poor are so skinny and starved, they already look like dead corpses
Weath Inequality isn't directly linked with poverty
@Chemar There's a show called This Week
Portillo basically destroyed this guy who thinks everyone should change to Finland (despite Finland having a similar population to London alone)
Portillo explained that many numbers which show wealth inequality are misleading as it doesn't take into account the fact that many people of the lower classes are moving up to the middle classes
Better answer
Who cares about wealth inequality
If every american from the lower class can afford a house do we care?
No
If they can afford a car do we care? No
Its only apparently when they cant afford it then we care
Does everybody really need a yacht?
U can easily sink boats to the bottom
But you cant expect all boats to be equally leveled
The reason we don't care then is because there is no issue present. If everyone could afford a home, car, and health care we wouldn't care because those people would be fine
@Techpriest Where do you fall economically??
^^This touches more on social consequences
@Techpriest thatβs a solid point. If everyone can afford a house and a car then I think the anger being the income gap and wealth inequality would die down. It would from me at least lmfao. I donβt expect a drastic change like the rich into the middle class. But I think if we could bring the lower and lower middle class up, by any means necessary it could happen.
