This wasn't nearly as bad 40 year ago. Its a recent phenomenon. People are just less responsible for their own behavior.

Your druglords aren't exactly 80 IQ hoodrats. They're businessmen.

I support supplying market need.


No shite, Sherlock. The point is gangs, mafias, drug lords, religious extremist organizations all developed and continue to thrive in areas and times where the only way to survive is/was to belong to this organization.

If you support supplying market demand no matter what the supply is, then stop moaning about the degradation of society.

It does not render my statement invalid because we have plenty of evidence to show how government assistance has hurt society

No, it doesn't, because we can just as easily say we have plenty of evidence to to show how government assistance has helped society as well as how it's hurt.

Do you know for a fact that society would be better today if gov't assistance had never been instituted?



yes.

look at the black family structure, neighborhoods and wealth rate of progress before and after the great society.

There seem to be two black Americas, just like the white folks. I have a hard time associating all black folks with the pathology of the inner city.

Thats why the term "black community" causes me to bristle a bit. Its used for political purposes, but they aren't all of the same mind.

To me, the best example of a welfare trap is the inner city and Appalachia. Classic welfare traps

no it hasn't. not only are you robbing from the american taxpayer footing the bill for the benefits, you're robbing the receiver of their purpose in life and you're robbing from churches and other charitable organizations.

literally nothing about government assistance has helped our society.

that's true. the problem is the black people who have done the right things to succeed pander to the other group for fear of being ostracized and rendered a coon or uncle tom, etc.

yeah, there is no "black community" outside of the minds of people who think there is, which encompasses more people than it doesn't. i'm not even sure what makes one part of the "black community."

you'd have to get the powers that be to admit there's a problem.

What i'm saying is, it's going to get much much worse.

The issue is we are addressing the problems after they have already been created by the government.

The government incentivized out-of-wedlock children and absentee fathers. Now that those bastard children have run amok, we can't dial back the original laws that started this problem because "what about the chirrens"

It's a fricking endless loop.

I personally know several people who have benefitted greatly from it. One, a Marine, went to medical school, became a doctor and served with the US Marshals.
