When Democrats Understood The Constitution

Hey derpface, if you want to reduce crimes like prostitution, drug dealing and theft, welfare is the way to do it. You help everyone by helping the poor.

So......in order to reduce fake crimes like prostitution and drug dealing......and real crimes like theft, you have to steal. And give people who do nothing money taken from people who contribute to society. Thereby punishing contribution to society and subsidizing selfishness and inactivity. BRILLIANT!!!! You should immediately be made President of the WORLD!!!!

how is drug dealing or prostitution fake?
how does contributing to society make one a victim?
do you think you should not be obligated to help pay for your own services??? or do you not like schools, infastructure, police, fire department or think they arent real or something...
you cant pick and choose which parts of society you want to help and which ones you want ostricize, we're all in this together. People that dont see the need for taxes are blind to the fact that 7% of American wages are paid via taxation. Add an additional 35% of Americans relying on welfare for sustinence and your proposal would devastate at least 42% of American families. You are clearly the brilliant one.

1. There is no victim. It is a made up crime.
2. Contribution is voluntary. Ask how stealing from people makes them victims. That is self-answering.
3. I like to pay for services I use and I don't want to pay for those I don't. Nor should I have to. I pay for private schools for my kids, but could always homeschool for free. The police spends more time hassling me and no time at all helping me when I need it. That's when they say "We're too busy and you're not dead" (actual quote from a police sergeant). My house is designed from scratch to be fireproof.

Why can't it be a la carte? Why shouldn't it be? What if Costco just "subscribed you" and forced you to spend $10,000/year there and it decided what you took home, not you? You'd be pretty pissed about that, unless you grew up with it being that way and you just assumed that this is the only way it could be because that's how you were taught at Costco school.

Why can't I pick and choose what parts of society to help, especially those I can see, not supposed victims that just walk in with a "bad back" or "I can't find a job" and then I'm forced into helping them? I know people who have defrauded or didn't need the system but took the money because they could. Even if you're injured, you can still work. There are plenty of jobs, just mainly lazy and picky people. Why would someone take a $10/hour job if they can get $15/hour doing nothing? I know a Bernie supporter who won't marry their boyfriend (and father of her kids) and I suspect, but can't prove, that they are getting more money from the government by not being married, because that's how it works. Free money for the kids and low income, and while they live together, a fake address for the father means more money for the mother.

See, you're proving my point. 35% of the people are getting money for nothing and making limited or no contribution when they could easily help society. So your policies are literally sociopathic.

wow, your logic is so flawed its hard to argue. its as if you have no idea how contributing to society works. its not a contribution if you use it for yourself now is it?
The federal welfare standard is 487 dollars per month. Are you saying that is more than a $10 an hour job? Because if you are, you probably need to work on your math skills. Also, if one of your private school attending little brats got really sick, you would probably think different about disability payments.

Incorrect. Any trade is a contribution to society because it enriches both parties. Further, any technological or improved process that is shared with others, even at a cost, increases the wealth of society.

If there's one thing that stunts the progress of society, it is government, by taxation, by impeding progress through arcane laws, by jailing millions of people, by preventing new technologies and improvements.

Many welfare recipients have multiple revenue streams from the government which average out to higher than minimum wage in something like 20 or 30 states.

You should actually try to learn about the things upon which you pontificate.

im on welfare dude. so i know. i have $41 and it has to last until august 2nd... today is july 8th

Actually, the real fake crimes include not having your kid wear a helmet while they eat ice cream

Democrats were more like Republicans back then (and vise verse)

True. Like Democrats, people like Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln were well meaning menaces to society.
