Another example are fatherless homes, a certain cultural problem we have,
I’m not going to touch the seven other topics in your last post. Would take a book! I agree with you in theme, but I think some of what you stated is too narrow a view or too judgemental to encompass the gravity of some the other issues.
The fatherless issue
is a major cultural problem and an indicator.
What stood out to me is you identified this as a cultural problem and not a demographic problem. Demographically that’s the cart; you didn’t put the cart before the horse. Kudos
it's about politicians continuously telling us that they are cutting taxes to benefit the middle class but in truth they only benefit the very rich
That isn’t an accurate statement based on US statistics running back to the 1860s
It is sometimes true that wealthy people are stingy and too often corporations are corrupt or unbalanced by moral norms. Nevertheless, infinitive statements are assumed by default inaccurate which is funny because that’s an infinitive conjecture itself... Yet some in the middle class and poor can be stingy and corrupt.
So why aren’t those demographics equally vilified as the high-dollar demographic is?
Oh, because they’re
victims.Or is it just human nature?!
There’s one economic position that requires the masses to be or become victims whether in fact they are- or not. The Masses exhibit dissatisfaction with having enough or unhappiness over their lot is
culturally bred. (Not biologically or genetically bred.)
Think about this odd thought: the migrant families that moved and settled Kansas Oklahoma etc and eventually California; or even the 1st Mayflower passengers: on who were they blaming their poverty and discomfort? No one.
They all were adventurous and
looking for opportunity and were willing to accept responsibility for themselves.
Ya, we have a tax problem BUT how’s about working for opportunities and the reward of overcoming circumstances?
Tax cuts produce more government revenue, while increasing taxes middle and above reduces discretionary spending and THAT hurts the middle and poorer classes. And inflation goes up because companies raise prices to achieve the same static profit they had when volume was higher.
Guarantee the guy living in his car or cardboard box thinks you make to much and should share it all
You need to volunteer at a homeless shelter that has a mission of rehabbing folks. While not all homeless are able to exceed their circumstances- many are. And many do not blame anyone for their position. And often, oddly enough don’t know their way out or are afraid of change/failure that could make them worse off than they are now. And then there are our veteran homeless and other actual victims…
Your statement is not reality, nor is it acceptable. (Probably not politically correct either but I’m not an authority there)
Even Jesus is related to have said if you see someone hungry, feed them; needs clothing? Dress them.
I know a little of how people wind up homeless. I know a whole lot more how one might recover or lift themselves out of homelessness or neohomeless. Am appreciative about how blessed we are in this country that even when that totally unexpected situation blindsides you and suddenly you’re out of options ya probably ain’t going to starve. And right now there’s plenty of jobs to be had…
Geezum crow I’m convicting myself. I don’t have a lot but I could give a lot more and it won’t hurt too bad. On the other hand I have bought some folks who needed things some stuff this summer, too.
I just go nuts when people blame the rich or whatever and have no other bone to pick than some magical thinking ideal.
There’s a recent thread here where someone is helping a neighbor in “a situation“ get some solar going, and I don’t mean lending a hand it sounds like he’s buying stuff. There was no mention that tax cuts put his neighbor in a vulnerable position cuz he’s poor. He’s just helping the guy…
Who paid for people in a bad way in 1890? Local folks, churches, philanthropists, and fraternal organizations. Thinking that’s the government’s job to distribute or redistribute folks’ income ain’t very humanitarian imho
