Will the Somalis Rid Us of Welfare?

Jeffrey Tucker does lots of research.

 

...The political scam of what’s called the welfare state is nearly a century old, and is only now being fully exposed in a way that the people can grasp. It’s taking from you to build bureaucracy and buy votes with a humanitarian gloss. That’s pretty much the whole thing.

Another especially striking feature of what’s unfolding now gets to the heart of a truth known in the literature but hardly spoken about at all in the media. Namely: such a system is only politically viable so long as demographics are relatively homogenous. The tax-paying people do a Rawlesian “behind the veil” mental experiment and come to believe, more or less, that the people they are supporting with their tax dollars – whether administrators or recipients – are like themselves, members of the family; there but for the grace of god go I. They too would like a “safety net,” in the event of an emergency.

Once you mix things up with random people who are NOT like the paying population – different language, religion, ethnicity, national origin – who also seem to be gaming the system, you breed resentment that ends up overthrowing the entire machinery. This is why welfare states in heterogenous societies cannot last. Again, this is well known among scholars of the subject. ...

"Welfare" has gone through a few rough patches in the US, roughly every 20 years.  The '60's--following the riots--brought us the Welfare Queen, followed by "reforms."  Clinton famously signed legislation demanding that welfare recipients either work or get off welfare.  It didn't do much to change anything and there have been minor bursts of loud unhappiness about "welfare" following that reform.

But there has never been so large a theft as engineered by the Somalis.  They stole money from Medicaid, from AFDC, and from HHS' 'education' programs; the total in Minnesota alone is likely in the 10++BILLION range.  And similarly lucrative theft schemes are being uncovered in Ohio and Washington State as we type.  (There are no investigative "reports" in Wisconsin.  Highly-Trained Professional Reporters are remarkably quiet.)

Anyhow.....

Will this be The One that finally brings about what St. Paul said:  'They who will not work should not eat'?

He was a Christian, ain'a?  Amazing how Catholic Charities never seems to refer to St. Paul, eh?
