It's because some people just aren't fit to have money.

That sounds like a liberal/socialist type of deal. We should all make our own ways in the world....free handouts shouldn't be a thing. Right. The problem is the obstructionist bureaucratic body of law that the billionaires have created to defeat all efforts by the rest to create wealth. President Trump is dismantling that and they are furious. |

Poor people tend to wish for things to happen, but because they figure good things only happen to lucky people, they stay stagnant. The best stories are told by the survivors. |

I am not against anyone getting rich because they have great ideas, know how to put business deals together, etc. but there is an ugly truth about this issue which I agree with but which is never mentioned by the left is the fact that their beloved government is once again the problem. Corrupt politicians have been bribed into protecting the richest business interests. Much competition has been eliminated for the small guy and when the clearing house time comes during free market cycles which gets rid of dead weight, underproducers and corruption, these Guys have paid for too big to fail insurance. Big Government, Global Corporations and World Finaciers colluding (being one entity actually) DO keep much of the free flow of the money tied up in their possesion. This wouldn’t happen without the lawmaker mafia protecting their clients. Crony Capitalism is the problem, not rich people in general, who do provide jobs on the plantation, but that’s a whole other story...

There are many poor people that are hard working,in shit jobs that provide little income.I feel for these people.I know a few who are working 3 jobs to pay bills.This isn't right in today society.These people deserve a decent income. Africa has been like it has for decades.It is a big business the population producing non productive eaters around the Clock quicker than a production line could knock them out for the West to feed indefinitely.Every meal time on TV you are guaranteed to see some brown skinned Child with a western name called Harry/Bob who needs you to feed him and his future children for ever. Why has there never been mass sterilizations of those who have made a career out of being none productive eaters.Send all the best Doctors over to Africa and sterilize the fucking lot of them.It is the real answer. Here in the West we are seeing Africa type attitudes appearing in modern Cities.Generations of useless eaters,producing future useless eaters, lazy bastards Black/White knocking out as many kids as they can for tax payers to feed forever. Some of those families here in the UK can pick up £100,000 a year in Housing benefit and other benefits.Yet the real people trying to get by struggle to get fuck all out of the system. United States has some of the fatest people i have ever seen.How the fuck does someone afford to maintain that kind of size on government food stamps.Even worse these types think it is their fundamental human right to be fed by the workers reproduce more useless eaters to also be fed.fucked up World we live in.The Fat and lazy have become very self entitled.

On the same token, most wealth is passed down generationally to children who would have been equally lazy, useless-eaters but they've had their wealth to buffer them from persecution. I think the goal should be that anyone who is able and willing to work full-time shouldn't be living in poverty. |
