Welfare + Diversity: Social Suicide - E-book - ePub

There are two steps to Social Suicide:1. Welfare"Free money" is an addiction; like any drug, the money and assistance are never enough. Society cannot support the exponential increase in the cost of welfare and especially an increase of babies born to single girls. This expenditure takes a heavy toll on monies needed for the elderly and ill. Also we "Haves" are unwittingly de-stroying the self esteem of welfare recipients by doling money instead of education and independence.2.
"Us" against "Them"We are dividing people by labeling them "Hispanic, " "African American" and "Native American." We are a nation of Us against Them. If we are a nation of "us" then why are these people identified as "other?" For America to survive, we-fare must change, social divisions must end. This book provides the way. Suicidal Socialism (or Suicidalism) is the downward spiral into extinction when a society, in its efforts to be good to its downtrodden and poor, consumes its own seed-corn, or regenerative resources.
As in Rome, dictators offered citizens free bread and circuses. Venezuela, the dictator offered citizens free gasoline for their cars. In efforts to assuage their populations' increasing demands for "free stuff" resources are nationalized, and entrepreneurial activity is killed. It is the hammer of government regulation combined with the pruning sickle of initiative. The Russian Politburo under Brezhnev posted signs: "Initiative will be punished".
Government by diktat lead to the downfall of the Soviet Union. The downfall of Venezuela and North Korea are inevitable. Margaret Thatcher said: "The trouble with Socialism is that pretty soon yourun out of other people's money." (John Prince 2018)
