Democrats reject work ethic, embrace freeloaders

[SugarDaddy1]

The Democratic Party used to call itself the party of working people and hail the “dignity of work.”

Now, Democrats want to guarantee people who choose not to work an income funded by the suckers who do the right thing by showing up for work, caring for their family, and paying taxes.

Fortunately, these self-supporting Americans just dodged a bullet. The failure to pass Build Back Better in Congress, thanks to holdout Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., means that the monthly checks or automatic bank deposits to parents with kids, sometimes dubbed “Biden Bucks,” come to an end this month.

Democratic politicians all over the nation are pushing to provide a monthly basic income to the nonworking poor, courtesy of taxpayers. They’ve formed Mayors for a Guaranteed Income. Los Angeles is sending out monthly $1,000 checks to 2,000 residents. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is using millions in federal pandemic relief funding to distribute $500 a month cash stipends to randomly chosen low-income recipients.

A Ford executive once showed off the factory's new automated equipment to a United Auto Workers official, and said, "So, how are you going to organize them?"

The labor leader replied, "How are you going to sell them Fords?"

The Universal Basic Income is really, in the long run, the only practical solution to technological unemployment.

Comrade Pecksniff, always brings his communism to the table.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Where is the part that requires not working? Pleast start there.

You have another solution?

You know a work ethic ain't enough. Jobs lost to automation aren't coming back, ever.

Yes, but those aren't blue-collar jobs. You need many years of college and graduate study before you're qualified to do them.

My solution, work or starve. America wasn't founded to satisfy those who don't want to work and make a better life for themselves.

Might as well slap the culture war campaign ad tag on this one.

You lot have been saying that for over a century now and that's never yet been true.

So what?

You aren't guaranteed or entitled to a certain lifestyle.

 

[pecksniff]

My solution, work or starve.

Not an acceptable answer if the jobs aren't there.

 

[pecksniff]

Anyway, shouldn't a civilization be judged by, among other things, the number of people it can support in idleness?

Hope you're ready for the pitch forks.

You aren't guaranteed or entitled to a certain lifestyle.

The only reason it hasn't been true is because we cheat and cheat and cheat and Republicans are unwilling to cheat. Well at least in a way that would benefit the masses instead of making them desperate.

Bring it.

Thanks for the invite. This won't even be a proper dust up. Just a question of taking prisoners or not. You lack the numbers, the money, the infrastructure and take a look around the world. This won't be any different from the Civil War as far as who the international community decided to aid.

The international community aided neither side. The only issue was whether some countries might grant the Confederacy diplomatic recognition (none did).

you were born into a family business.

We aren't the democrats here.

It's not the federal government job to benefit the masses.

Considering your tribe can't even feed themselves you're right.

You lack the numbers, the money, the infrastructure and take a look around the world.

LFMAO!!! You're delusional and backwards as ever.

You Bolsheviks aren't the majority, sure as shit not the majority of fighters. Ya'll went from abolish to defund the police just as fast as you saw me and mine grinning at the idea of no police.

This won't be any different from the Civil War as far as who the international community decided to aid.

They can't help themselves either.

In case you haven't noticed nearly all the people doing all the war fighting in the last 40 years have been RW American males..... not the soy boys of the left crying about how unfair it is they have to work for a living.

 

[pecksniff]

It is. That comes under the heading of "promote the general welfare."

What's a $1000 going to get you a month? Could you live off $1000/mth
People aren't living the high life with that kind of money, they are paying electric and water bills. It also relieves the pressures some feel that turns them to stealing stuff to make ends meet. Fresh out of highschool I was on welfare until I got my shit together. Without it I would have probably turned to crime too. Now I'm a contributing part of society and I don't care that people are getting welfare because myself and our low crime rate proves it works.

If the jobs are not there, why do we have hoards of illegals crashing the border "looking for work and a better life"?

Promote =/= provide.....it isn't.

No party is ever going to win anything on, "It's not the federal government job to benefit the masses." Most people assume, and not wrongly, that that's what it's there for.

That is a verifiably wrong belief.
