A Nation Of Free Stuff

Certainly, I assume the American people believe that in our abundant society we can assist those who truly can't assist themselves. The only problem is that those who cannot assistance themselves have been developing by leaps and bounds. But why I ask? I've some theories on this and I'd prefer to explain how I view it if I may well.

You see, I believe we're making our populations weak by giving them no cost stuff, and creating laws so stringent that they defend folks from themselves. What we're doing is taking people's responsibilities away and treating them like youngsters towards the point they cannot do something for themselves anymore, essentially we are creating them weak.

Now then, on October 12, 2012 on MSN Income titled; "Poorest in US commit twice their income" by Karen Datko which stated; "A new government study says people within the bottom 20% of earners are taking in about $10,000 a year on average but have $22,000 in expenditures," which came from a 2011 Consumer Expenditure report by the BLS.

But exactly where is all this added revenue coming from? Effectively, some comes from the government; think about subsidizes in transportation, food stamps, government solutions, overall health care, rent control or reimbursements. That is where the incredibly poor people today with no assets or savings got the additional money. These who had some dollars saved made use of their savings, and those with credit piled up credit card debt.

Possibly we need a national discussion on this mainly because we've a political divide. Democrats think that these men and women need aid simply because they cannot give for themselves, and a lot of Republicans, albeit not all of them believe that the explanation individuals can't provide for themselves is because we've come to be a nanny state, and we designed these weak people today, and we are developing more each and every day. I fall into the second line of reasoning and let me tell you why.

You see, when we boost the minimum wage we also prevent employers from hiring several on the people who would make the particularly low wage, who could possibly get into these jobs, perform properly, and move up the ladder. With that upward mobility they would basically be finding off the need for all these free of charge solutions, as they would function themselves out on the criteria necessary to meet those minimum standards. Subsequent, I consider the requirements are as well low.

Humans tend to do just adequate to have by, and after they loosen up into their position, and they've their simple requirements satisfied they cease trying to do additional (human nature). This hurts productivity, and in addition, it lowers the self-esteem in the individual pondering they can not get anywhere in life, that they have no upward mobility, and that the globe is stacked against them. I feel the most significant issue is we are making it weak folks as a result of our poor policies, as opposed to helping people reach to obtain the subsequent level.

This is why we need a national discussion on this subject so we don't turn into a nation from the defeatists, a nanny state, or continually grow the ranks of your poor even though continually blaming it on the wealthy. Everybody ought to have an equal opportunity to succeed based on their own merits, hard work ethic, and personal character. Men and women require responsibility. If we take it away and treat them like children, we'll need to care for them forever. Please take into account all this and think on it.
