There is truth to it.
Welfare became entrenched in the 60s and 70s in Appalachia because as coal mines closed or were bought by conglomerates, people didn't move like they once did to find work. They just settled where they were and lived off welfare.

Your answer: Name a system better. Name another system where I have the rights to keep my capital
I see now.
You have no point.
You are a troll. A retarded one at that.
You have a horrible rest of your day.

Yes, me fighting the economic Leftism of MAGA is a thing, just as me fighting the economic Leftism of people like cubbies is also a thing.

Yes. It is the ONLY system in which dignity can exist.

The only people dehumanizing anyone in our society today are leftists when they refer to their domestic enemies.

Not if American mfgrs can compete through innovation.
Under the current protectionism, we're fricked. There is no incentive to improve.

Probably because they never accomplish anything as individuals.

I said I wasn't asserting such perception was wrong. I certainly don't think it is wholly.

Society at large.

Is that from whom you are looking to derive dignity?
My prof said God doesn’t make people, people make gods. I’m not regurgitating his beliefs or ideas.

Like all leftists, you believe a lot of lies.

Doubtful, but don’t let that stop you from being miserable.

What else do you call government-imposed regulation and redistribution programs? It's certainly not economics traditionally associated with the right.
As I posted earlier, the arguments for this government intervention in the markets (and plan to redistribute wealth of Americans) of directly in line with what cubbies is arguing in OP.

Whats interesting is this prof and Cubbies both are admitting they look down on the poor.
Poor can have dignity.

In other words, not something a "capitalist society" could ever take from someone. I guess we agree.

How?
Do you think society treats homeless people with dignity? Or do you personally blame me and my prof for that?

I wonder how cubbies' professor would react to her responding that dignity was based in God-given intrinsic humanity and not a system of humans.

How?
Lets start with the question everyone keeps asking you, what makes one dignified?

She can't see their dignity.
The question is if you can.

Given their status and actions to get there, frick yes. Do you know how easy homeless people have it in the US?
