In the 21st century, the federal government, in its quest to actualize equality, consumes (during peacetime) about ten times more of the American economy than it did a century ago. And yet economic inequality, in the President’s words, still amounts to “the defining challenge of our time.”"No Man for Himself, And The Devil Take Most. American people vs. American government." By David Corbin and Matt Parks, The Federalist, 12/21/13.

"Keep clear of the dupes that talk democracy,
And the dogs that bark revolution.
Drunk with talk, liars and believers.
I believe in my tusks.
Long live freedom and damn the ideologies!"
(Robinson Jeffers)
Just as oppressive gun control laws allow and encourage the bad guys to flourish expanded welfare laws allow and encourage the welfare roles to expand. If yu want to hae a serious impact on poverty and reduce it to levels we haven't seen since 1960 then end welfare. WHat will happen next is the single women with multiple children frommultiple fathers will get married and the men who don't work will find jobs. Will there still be some poor people? Well, of course but there will be less of them and the federal government will save about $1.2 trillion a year in welfare.
