More About: Politics: General Activism21st century slavery: Food stamps, ADC and Section 8 housing
Food stamps, aid to dependent children, free medical
care and section 8 housing offer over 48.1 million Americans and non-citizens
instant gratification, but in turn destroys their self-worth, self-respect,
personal accountability and meaning for their lives.
Each year, over 3.5
million people visit Yellowstone National Park. When you visit the
park, you see signs, “Don’t feed the bears or any wild animals. Feeding them
habituates animals to handouts and can be deadly to them, to you and your
family.”
Yet, countless people
feed the animals. As a result, bears become
too lazy to forage for food. Some of them starve to death in the woods—which
offers plenty of nourishment—when the tourists aren’t there to give them
handouts.
Back in 1964, President Lyndon Baines Johnson
created the “Great Society” welfare state that began a free feeding-frenzy
for “poor” American citizens. Today millions of people “feed” off the
entitlements, freebies and tax dollars of every working American.
One of the Founding Fathers, Ben
Franklin said, “I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of
doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or
driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made
for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became
poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for
themselves, and became richer.”
Countless millions of African-Americans,
Hispanic-Americans and poor white Americans survive on free food, housing,
medical care and aid to dependent children.
But that Faustian Bargain destroys their drive for education, self-worth
and any hope to move into a decent paying job and purpose in their lives.
“In the U.S.
today, total spending on means-tested welfare programs amounts to $956 billion
per year. This figure represents an increase of 32% over the level of welfare spending that was
in place at the beginning of the Obama presidency. On average, each federal
income taxpayer in America spends $8,776 annually to keep federal welfare
programs afloat.” Source: www.discoverthenetworks.org
In 2013, after trillions of dollars ran through the
hands of our American welfare recipients since 1964, we suffer 48.1 million
people devouring more food stamps, more aid to dependent children and more
Section 8 housing subsidies. Within
their emotional cages, it’s become a way of life.
Countless minority women birth millions of babies to
“make” more money on welfare to feed their drinking, drugs, car payments and
party time. They farm out their kids to
grandmothers who then make more money as foster parents.
What happens when all those Electronic
Benefits Transfer cards (EBT) fail as
the government goes broke?
Journalist James Bracken said, “In
response to recent articles in mainstream military journals discussing the use of the
U.S. Army to quell insurrections on American soil, I offer an
alternate vision of the future. Instead of a small town in the South as the
flash point, picture instead a score of U.S. cities in the thrall of riots
greater than those experienced in Los Angeles in 1965 (Watts), multiple cities in
1968 (MLK assassination),
and Los Angeles again in 1992 (Rodney King).
New Yorkers can imagine the 1977 blackout
looting or the 1991 Crown Heights disturbance.
In fact, the proximate spark of the next round of major riots in America could be any from a long list cribbed from our history."
With violent gangs (Black Flash Mobs)
amassing in our major cities to attack innocent taxpayers, where do they
originate? Sociologists tell us
un-parented youth of any race form gangs in order to “belong” to
something. With 68 percent of
African-American children growing up with single mothers and most of them
subsisting on welfare—without a family unit, they face horrific and ugly
futures.
Colin
Flaherty wrote: White Girl Bleed a Lot—The return of racial violence to America
and how the media ignore it. Main
Stream Media deny that black mob violence has reached epidemic levels in America.
Mexican gangs in Los Angeles control
entire sections of that city where they sell drugs, shoplift and wreak havoc in
schools. Welfare queens sport cell
phones, EBT cards (electronic benefits cards), free medical and unending
Section 8 housing credits.
One look at welfare on American Indian
Reservations shows rampant alcoholism, uneducated kids, entrenched poverty and
heartless, purposeless existence.
Poor whites become entrenched in a vicious
cycle of illiteracy, drugs, unemployment and crime.
None of them work for a living. None
contribute back to our society. None
promise to be positive American citizens.
Welfare bestows onto America a new,
entrenched and poverty- stricken class of people now measuring in excess of 50
million individuals. It cannot and will
not get better as long as the “freebies” continued without incentives.
Solutions:
1. Welfare must be tied to workfare in order to establish personal
accountability, purpose, education, vocational tech and responsible
citizenship.
2. Aid to dependent children must tie mothers to classrooms that
educate for birth control, job training and personal responsibility.
3. Food stamp recipients must be tied to workfare in the community
to work jobs that provide purpose.
4. Inner city kids must be mandated to perform in schools with
gender separate classes to provide discipline and excellence.
If we take no proactive action, we face endless millions of kids
who become childhood-parents who become lazy, worthless, criminals who become
useless to themselves and humanity.
African-Americvan
journalist Thomas Sewell said, ““The
assumption that spending more of the taxpayer's money will make things better
has survived all kinds of evidence that it has made things worse. The black
family- which survived slavery, discrimination, poverty, wars and depressions-
began to come apart as the federal government moved in with its well-financed
programs to "help."
Welfare doesn’t work.
We must try a different path.
