Rise of the Socialist Welfare System
Rise of the Socialist Welfare System is precipitating much of the cities problems and indeed societies problems. Many people are taught that Big Government is the solution to all our problems. They are "fair" and they will enforce regulations for our "benefit" but with big government comes corruption, crony capitalism, secret associations, and tremendous bureaucracy. We can't build, drill, mine, or otherwise do things other countries do because they are "dirty" and we regulate those to death to the point it makes no sense economically to do these things in this country.
We live in a culture of dependency now. A full 47% of the people don't pay any taxes at all. There is always an excuse why someone cannot succeed in our culture and we have scapegoats created via class warfare. Some people say that working for a living is akin to slavery and exploitation and they will not start their own business because they don't want to "beg the bank" for money which is apparently also evil.
All you have to do is look at the video and pictures of Detroit. How awful this city looks. If you pay people to not work that is exactly what you are going to get. We have to return to our roots. We cannot sub-plant the God for Government . We should not be looking to others what we can do for ourselves. This country was started with the belief in the indiviual's freedom to become whatever they would like to or achieve whatever they would like. We have to return to individual responsibility and accountability.
This country is in trouble. We have a tremendous amount of debt. We are turning to the European lifestyle that has proven to be a failure for hundreds of years. We have record poverty and now it was released that in the last three years the American family has lost 40% of their wealth. The only way out is to quit the spending and end the culture of dependency.
The more corrupt a government is the more it legislates. If you worship power you will soon be workshipping evil. These are some famous quotes made by people hundreds of years ago and still ring true now. Government is not the solution to our problems....it is the problem.
