Social scientists such as people who advocate these programs, actually socialists in general, all overlook one fatal flaw in their arguments, human nature. People who are prone to be lazy are encouraged to be lazy, while people who want to work are being stripped of reasons to be ambitious. A lose lose for a successful society.
The primary reason this country is the greatest in the world is because people have had the opportunity and the freedom to pursue "the American Dream". Liberals are slowing taking that opportunity (read incentive) away, and they're proud of it too. It's all so wrong, they always get things backwards
I wish more people understood economics and growth and freedom and ambition and the truth, but we're a nation of spoon fed soundbite idiots.
I can't even comprehend how people believe career politicians are their saviors, and how they fall for all the spin and all the lies time and time again.
How many times can democrats tell the inner city poor that their policies are going to help the poor escape the cycle or poverty? How many times can they hear that promise and vote for it? How many generations will it take before reality sets in? Will reality ever set in?
