Migration is a Welfare State Issue

The main reason for mass migration in the West is to prop up the welfare state.

I know that there are other reasons for it, but this is the main one.  And the primary reason for the need for mass migration is because of the dwindling populations of the natives that are required for the welfare rolls of the aging population.

In other words, old people didn’t have enough children to fund their government welfare retirement programs.

The fact is, the entire welfare system is a scam and steals from the production to fund the lifestyles of the lazy.  Instead of saving their money in the long-term so that when they are unable to work anymore, they can afford to keep on living the way they have been, instead they demand money from the young and productive.

Worse yet, they either refuse to live with their children because they either didn’t have any children or because the children they did have don’t particularly like them.

Demographic replacement wouldn’t be an issue if the welfare state was non-existent or limited to natural-born citizens only.  In light of that, many people wouldn’t have immigrated here in the first place because to many third-world migrants, “land of opportunity” usually has something to do with free shit from sociopathic politicians.

So in order to stem the tide of the r-type migrants who want nothing more than free shit and sexual access to native women, I propose we just get rid of the welfare state.

For everyone.

Maybe then the migrant issue will become more apparent and more people will realize that it is a war and not a charity to let that many people into your country.

Immaturity

A few years ago, I remember Dave Ramsey saying that one sign of maturity is the ability to hold off on the things you want.  Certainly this is one sign.

But let me give you another sign: the ability to accept the responsibilities that come with the perks.  Let me explain: in real life, the more perks you acquire usually come with higher responsibilities.

If you buy a house, for example, you are now responsible to maintain that house.  While living in the house is a perk, you have the responsibility to ensure that it doesn’t fall apart on you.  Of course this is something that directly effects you and very few people neglect their own places of residence.

When you move up the corporate ladder (what little of it remains) you gain perks like a higher salary but you also gain responsibility for the people who work under you.  This means that if they fail, you fail with them.  At least, that is usually how it goes, but there are always exceptions.

I am thoroughly convinced that this civilization is moving away from that model in nearly all aspects of life, save a few, namely, the angry, productive white males.  I know, being an “angry productive white male” myself means that I am now spouting racism.

The truth is, if you look at nearly every other group besides APWMs, you’ll find that nearly every one of them want all the perks without any of the responsibilities.  This can be seen in how they collectively vote and who they are voting for.

Voting for the politician who promises things like safety or welfare or getting your fair share or whatever other nonsense that involves taking money from the productive and giving it to the moocher and looter is, in essence, an immature vote.

Feminism itself is immature.  We see this in how they cry for equality but turn around and outright oppress men when given authority to do so.  It’s like the nerd kid who suddenly develops superpowers and decides to brutally murder the bullies who tormented him.

We see this with welfare recipients who leech off of the productive and use their extra disposable income, of which they have more than the productive, to buy expensive clothes, phones, and other accessories.

In a nation where 45%+ of the obese are also poor, we find ourselves feeling bad for the people who are obviously well fed and laughing all the way to the Wal-Mart, where the EBT system has shut down and they are allowing looters to loot.

There was a reason that originally only land-owning men could vote in the United States.  It was because the Founding Fathers understood that women would primarily vote out of envy and that people who didn’t own land probably didn’t make very good decisions in general.  I know, that’s a generalization, but it is sadly true.

From the single mom with three kids with three different baby daddies to the corporate executive who demands a bailout because he ran his company into the ground, we are seeing unprecedented levels of immaturity.

And our democracy is only going to enable and embolden it.

All Welfare is Corporate Welfare

Did you ever wonder why most welfare programs continue to stay afloat even as it is proven to be riff with corruption, inefficiencies, and scandal?  The answer is simple: like all things in DC, lobby groups work constantly to keep these programs going on behalf of large corporations.

Case in point, I found this article from WeAreChange.org a little enlightening:

Although a notorious recipient of “corporate welfare,” Walmart has now admitted that their massive profits also depend on the funding of food stamps and other public assistance programs.

In their annual report, filed with the Security and Exchange Commission last week, the retail giant lists factors that could potentially harm future profitability. Listed among items such as “economic conditions” and “consumer confidence,” the company writes that changes in taxpayer-funded public assistance programs are also a major threat to their bottom line.The company writes:

“Our business operations are subject to numerous risks, factors and uncertainties, domestically and internationally, which are outside our control … These factors include … changes in the amount of payments made under the Supplement[al] Nutrition Assistance Plan and other public assistance plans, changes in the eligibility requirements of public assistance plans …”

Walmart, the nation’s largest private employer, is notorious for paying poverty wages and coaching employees to take advantage of social programs. In many states, Walmart employees are the largest group of Medicaid recipients.

Notice that listed in this section I shared that Wal-Mart is dependent on not one, but two different forms of welfare: both Medicaid and SNAP.  In the past, Wal-Mart has also encouraged the raising of the minimum wage as well.  Recall also that Wal-Mart also allowed the poor to loot one of their stores when the EBT system went down.

It looks to me that Wal-Mart is a retail chain that is wholly dependent on the War on Poverty continuing because they make huge profits from other productive taxpayers who do not shop there.

It is one thing for a free market system where an individual can deny their money or services to a business.  But in this case, Wal-Mart is forcing the government to ensure that poor people get money so they can get rich.  This is not capitalism, this is cronyism at its finest.

All welfare programs exist for the express purpose of enriching the large corporate companies, which the Left hates so much.  This is largely because the poor tend to have more disposable income than the middle class due to the fact that the government subsidizes nearly every foundational expense they have from food to housing to utilities.  So of course Wal-Mart and other retail chains like them benefit from these programs because it means the poor can buy crap that they don’t need, thus boosting their profits.

No welfare program will ever be defunded or eradicated so long as the current system is in place.  And no, I’m not talking about the constitutional system, but the corporatist system that makes even the Whig party roll in their graves.

Corporate Welfare

Corporate welfare.  Liberals complain about it.  Conservatives and many libertarians deny its existence or just simply ignore it.  For the liberal, corporations are bad.  For conservatives they are good.  And for libertarians, they are good, unless chartered by the government.

But when it comes to the government subsidizing them, it is difficult to really grasp the gravity of the situation.  The United States, you see, is run on a corporate fascist model of economics.  In such a model, there is no individual, simply the collectives of the government and the corporation.  In many cases, the corporations that are on top are the ones who have close ties to the leaders in government.

But here are some examples of corporate welfare that most people probably overlook, or simply don’t know about:

  • Farm subsidies.  Most people know about them, but assume that they are going to individual farmers.  Unfortunately, this is no longer true.  Most farming is done by large corporations, chief among them Monsanto, and so all the Department of Agriculture does is funnel money to them while making regulations that hurt individual farmers.
  • The TSA.  I know that many people hate the TSA for it’s fourth amendment intrusions, but in reality, it is a form of corporate welfare.  In essence, we the taxpayer are subsidizing security for the airline companies.  You think that airline companies don’t have a vested interested in getting customers from point A to point B safely?
  • The FDIC.  This agency basically allows banks to take much bigger risks with their money than they otherwise would because all of our deposits are allegedly guaranteed by them up to $250,000.  In essence, it allows banks to misbehave more.  Of course, nobody bothers to connect the dots in this.
  • War.  War is probably the single biggest form of corporate welfare.  The sheer amount of money that goes into defense spending is very profitable for a few key companies.  In fact, I’m almost certain that most wars we have fought in the past few decades were at the behest of the people whose interests were in profiting off of human loss and suffering.
  • Vaccine courts.  When you or your child is harmed by a vaccine, then you do not get to sue the doctor or the company.  Instead, you are sent to a vaccine court where a settlement is determined.  This allows for vaccine companies to manufacture their products without fear of legal liability because those settlements are taxpayer funded as far as I can tell.
  • Non-Profit Subsidies.  I know, you’re thinking that non-profit organizations aren’t corporations.  Then how come some, like Planned Parenthood, will post corporate profits?

The truth is, corporatism is the name of the game in DC.  No matter what law is passed, it is always passed at the behest of some lobbying firm (usually several) representing the various interests of many corporations and other assorted organizations.  Usually they bribe officials with promises of campaign money or cushy jobs when they get out of politics.

So if you have any hope that a grassroots movement will change anything just remember: it will not work without loads of money.  And while you’re at it, you may as well get some subsidies.  That’s what every other movement does.

When the Youth Shrug

The welfare state is all about taking the productive wealth gained by the young and transferring it to the unproductive elderly.  Back before Social Security, a parent would be taken care of by his or her children once they reached a point where they were unable to work.  The government has successfully taken away from that, much like how they have taken away the father from the family.

But most of the time, the pillaging of our youth is subtle and the youth go along with it.  Here’s an example:

A poll released Wednesday by Harvard University’s Institute of Politics found that more than half of 18- to 29-year-olds disapprove of ObamaCare and believe it will raise their healthcare costs. 

Even more troubling for the administration is that less than one-third of uninsured young people said they plan to enroll in coverage. 

Without a large number of young, healthy people in the insurance exchanges, it could create a “death spiral” of high premiums that could threaten the long-term viability of the marketplaces.

The key is the last paragraph.  What it basically means is that in order for the new healthcare regulations to work, a key number of young people need to be enrolled so they can have their income redistributed to the elderly.  Because Social Security, Medicare, and all those other programs don’t do that already.

On top of that, many of the regulations that are imposed on American businesses do nothing but damage the opportunities of young people.  The minimum wage, for instance, creates more unemployment among unskilled workers because it limits the number of people an employer can hire.  On top of that, it reduces productivity as less workers means less production.  And so the potential for raises among those unskilled workers who are hired is also stifled.

The loss of manufacturing jobs in this country, coupled with increased demands for more and more college education, seems to create a perfect storm of over-educated waiters and waitresses.  Who are deeply in debt.

The fact of the matter is, the United States Government is giving young people inadequate education, less job options, less personal freedom, increased debt, and less income.  There are so many factors at play, it is surprising our civilization hasn’t collapsed.

Eventually, the enough young people will start living the rat life.  And then this thing called a stable society will collapse, followed by the United States government, and then the American civilization itself.  All because a bunch of ideologues with provably bad ideas decided to make everyone equal and make everything fair.  Except for them, of course.
