And it isn't about getting "free shit". It is about getting a fair chance. It is about ending discrimination in education, employment, housing, lending, and law enforcement. It is about the government doing its job of protecting the citizens and environment from exploitation from the wealthy.
You don't care about the environment or the disadvantaged in any way. All you do i squirt all over yourself about how much you have to pay in taxes. The only thing you care about in politics is your own economic well being. But yet you act like other people are bad for doing the exact same thing as you.
So with nearly 30 trillion spent on the war on poverty, and the amount of spending for HUD housing, head start, medicaid, food stamps, and the cost per student in many urban areas, and so many corporations operating with AA standards and quotas, just the same as many public universities, how is there still such a number of blacks that are poor?
Is there a social program that can force a kid to go to school?
Is there a social program that can force parents to care about their kids education, or not have children out of wedlock?
If there is, let me know. Until then, I'll continue to say that these programs are there to buy votes, keep people in perpetual poverty, and will continue to fail.
We incentivize people not to work. Great f'n plan.
