These things you speak of exist BECAUSE of socialism creeping into our American Ideal. You can't just see something and say, see that... that's because of capitalism. In a Democratic Socialist system it doesn't suffice to just do as the intellectual elite do and just claim some cause because to do otherwise would hurt the interests of the people in charge. Of course the intelligentsia in the Universities, media, and the bureaucracy would claim it is due to capitalism. But is it really? What about all of Sowell's actual empirical studies which indicate this is not at all the case. We didn't have these issues until after socialist policies. And Sowell has PROVEN the connection. Look at the rate of child-birth and the drop in marriage rate among the black community which only began after the Great Society and the socialist war on poverty. And Sowell didn't just do it for the US data. He broke it down into pieces from virtually all over the world and found time and again the same result. If you pay people more for having children while you have a family income below a certain level is it any surprise you will get an increase in single-mother children. The Great Society penalizes those on these programs but making it known if you do better than the level they consider basic subsistence the funding will be cut off. So they never even try to get above the level to a place of success.SJConspirator » 01 Jan 2022, 10:25 pm » wrote: ↑ It's crazy that some people still have this beery sentimental patriotism .for AMERICA . this guy probly gets weepy over a U.S. flag rippling in the wind
Some people still can't see that America is a mall where the stores went out of business 20 years ago and the thugs took over and your gonna get shot in the parking lot
When welfare became work-fare the bureaucrats were shocked at the level of fraud and repression they discovered under these policies.
And it grows like a cancer, because those who are penalized for success know their only hope to increase their lot in life is to get everyone else to agree to more socialism. So socialism keeps growing and the results are more people are forced into poverty. It is a positive feedback cycle that grows exponentially until it finally collapses and you get outright tyranny.
