Obama maintains his support by artificially keeping people in poverty, opposition has to push in the direction of giving incentives to get out of poverty
Posted on | February 17, 2013 | 10 Comments
Aside from badly rigged and manipulated elections another reason for Obama’s recent win is in artificially keeping people in poverty and hence keeping them as his constituency. While most of the middle class is the GOP Constituency, the most poor and the most rich are the stronghold of the Obama support.
Today, while GOP still has the House, it’s main goal should be incentivising the move from poverty to middle class. In my opinion two main lines of attack should be reversing 2 failing social programs that currently incentivize people to:
a. sit on welfare
b. have children out of wedlock
When you look at Obama’s constituency an unproportionally high percentage of his supporters are people sitting on welfare and single women who get governmental aid. What Democratic party is doing to these two groups of people is shameful and despicable. It is similar to what the Arabic countries are doing to Palestinians. Arabic countries are artificially keeping a certain percentage of Palestinians poor, not integrated in societies in Gaza, in Jordan, in Lebanon, as they represent a bargaining chip.
Similarly the Democratic party is keeping people on welfare, as the bargaining chip, as the core of their loyal constituency.
What has to be done?
GOP in the House of Representatives has to pull the strings of the purse and demand replacement of welfare with workfare as a condition for fiscal allocations beyond what is received in revenues byt the U.S. government.
Obama is bankrupting the nation with an enormous debt. There has to be a provision in that only people who are completely disabled and are in the hospital bed ridden should be getting welfare without having to work. Everybody else has to work in order to get assistance from the government.
We have 2.65 million federal employees, who are getting salaries and benefits which are twice the rate in the free market. This has to end immediately. Government jobs are non-productive jobs. Each individual working for the government is supported by taxes of 10 people in the private sector. As we as a nation are bankrupt this has to end. 90 percent of the Federal Government jobs can be transferred to Workfare jobs and the remaining 10 percent should not exceed the rate of salary and benefits of a comparable job in the private sector. If you really want to incentivize the private sector, you have to set the scale of government jobs slightly lower than the average salary of a comparable worker in the area, it should be at least 5-10% lower than the private sector job.
Today we have 12.3 million unemployed (keep in mind, these are people who are receiving unemployment and are still counted, real numbers are much higher) and we have 23 million total of unemployed and underemployed.
On the other hand we have 2.65 million working for the Federal government.
How many are working for the state and local governments? In CA there are 2.4 million state employees, whch is double the number of manufacturing jobs in CA. I took the number of state employees in CA, and multiplied it by 12%, which is the percentage CA makes of the total population in the US and came up with 20 million state and local employees in the US. Well, CA is a crazy deep blue state. Let’s see what is the average in the U.S. according to the latest statistics? There are 61 state and local employees for every 1,000 population. Taking into account current population of 315 million in the U.S. we have about 19.2 million of state and local employees nationwide. If you add rouphly 2.65 million working for the Federal government, we have 22 million employed by Federal, state and local governments around the country and roughly the same number of people who are unemployed or underemployed, who are getting wellfare benefits for 2 years. If the government were to allocate those governemntal jobs to workfare, it could drastically lower the expenses and deficit and would give people incentive to work and to move to the private sector productive jobs.
Also, being employed by the government would look much better on the resume than being on welfare for 2 years. It will also help people maintain their work ethics, professional education and skills and keep up the psychological and emotional well being.
Moving people from wellfare to workfare benefits the country as a whole.
Similarly I an appalled and disgusted by the latest glorification of men, who father multiple children by multiple women and are economically pimping by living off the taxpayers paying the welfare to all these children and all these women. There are TV programs which glorify such lifestyle.This has to end. Being irresponsible and having children out of wedlock and living off others who are responsible and pay for their children and for the children of dead beats is immoral and it destroys the economic an moral fiber of the society.
I can understand an older woman in her 40s, who has education, professional training and who is secure financially deciding to have a child out of wedlock or adopt. I understand this. I am not Ann Coulter, I am not a heartless childless demagogue like her, I understand older women, who decide to have a child after they did not find a right person to marry until age 40 or so. Typically these women are not sitting on welfare.
At issue is a large group of single women with children, mostly in the inner cities who are young, who are teenages, in their 20s and early 30s. Having them and fathers of their children in some type of workfare program in order to brake the cycle of welfare and poverty is a must.
I hope our congressmen make those changes to workfare in order to make a real difference. Today Carl Rove and the GOP elite are banking on Rubio and on him pushing for another amnesty. I am concerned that the end result of such amnesty will be a disaster for both GOP and the nation as a whole.
Yes, some of the Hispanics voting for Obama today will vote for a fellow Hispanic Rubio, however you can’t bank on this. First, DNC might push for a vice presidential candidate who is a Hispanic, so it will be a wash. Additionally, the real numbers of illegals in this country are estimated by members of the immigration community to be 42 million, not 11 million. Even if you believe that it is 11 million, vast majority of them are poor and will go on multiple welfare programs the moment they get the citizenship. As the Democratic party is pushing for these programs, they will vote for the democrats, even if GOP is running Rubio.
If you want this country to go back to surplus, self sufficiency, you have to do what makes economic sence:
1. move from welfare to workfare
2. deport illegal immigrants and enforce the immigration laws and border security. We do not need any immigration reforms, we do not need new laws, we need to enforce existing laws
3. we have to either rescind WTO-GATT or renegotiate it. You cannot have free trade with slave labor countries, with countries like China or India, where there is 1.3-1.2 billion people willing to work for less than a $1 per hour. Our corrupt congressmen who continue going along with NAFTA and WTO-GATT are simply annihilating the U.S. economy and the U.S. manufacturing
4. and lastly, of course, you have to remove the foreign national with all forged IDs and a stolen Social Security number. I wrote about it at length here.

An alternative to Rubio is essential as Rubio is not eligible to be president. Apart from that, he is from a Communist country.
Thank you.

I saw this morning on Fox News, a poll worker in Cincinatti, who might have voted for Obama up to six times, others resident voted three or two times for the ‘president’. The post facto investigation has commenced after the horse left the stable and the door was closed.
These are mere examples of the immense fraud committed in this past election, but the left keeps telling us these are insignificant numbers, even though these fraulent cases were discovered in just one city in Ohio. Our democracy is going to hell !!

There is a MEDIA BLACKOUT by all news networks. “CNN is paid by the US government for reporting on some events, and not reporting on others. The Obama Administration pays for CNN content …”
Why have you not heard that the 9 Supreme Court Justices are reviewing obama’s ineligibility to be the Commander-In-Chief? The case was brought forth for conference on Friday, Feb. 15. No. 12A606 Title: Edward Noonan, et al., Applicants v. Deborah Bowen, California Secretary of State Docketed: December 13, 2012 Lower Ct: Supreme Court of California Case […]. A decision will be forthcoming on Tuesday, Feb. 19.
The facts on the administration’s use of forged and stolen IDs and forged Selective Service form are all readily available at this time. However, massive scrubbing has taken place. In December there were 2,000,030 articles available. That has now been reduced to ~631,000. https://j.mp/VnRXM3
I am not a “birther” as the progressives would like you to believe. I just want the complete and total truth told to all. If I did not speak of what I know, I’d be as guilty as the “bought & paid for” mainstream media. I pray that people do their research. OUR COUNTRY IS IN GREAT PERIL AND IT IS UP TO US TO KEEP THOSE LIBERTIES OUR FOREFATHERS SO GALLANTLY FOUGHT FOR. Blessings to all and God Bless America.

When you said Rubio is from a communist country, does it imply that since he was born in the old USA, we are already under a communist regime ?
If the president who proudly announced on the Democratic Convention of 2004 that his father was a British subject born in Kenya, and twice has been elected to the presidency, against the dictates of the Supreme Court in the 1875 case of Minor v Happersett, with what legal artifice are you assuming that Rubio cannot be president, if the present Supreme Court has not ruled that Obama is illegitimate ?

I believe that the 47% figure, given by Romney, of the people who are riding the government giveaway wagon, has already been surpassed.
The USA is no longer the same country into which I arrived alone, as a prepubescent child, and in a PAA airplane from communist Cuba 52 years ago.

Interesting statistic I head on Coast to Coast radio a couple days ago.
There are 7 states where the number of people on welfare exceeds the number of people working. Included in those states are California, New York, Illinois , Alabama

America is now controlled by those who only seek power.
Being able to see someone beg them for program approval takes them on a high.
This should not be this way. If some needs assistance, provide the emergency funds, but no long term programs.
I was laid off one time from my job, went to welfare for help, They told me you don’t qualify, you have been working.
Went to unemployment to sign up for benefits
their reply “you don’t qualify for benefits”
Now wives of all freeloaders can get their check,while husband is working. I have seen them as high as $2600.00.
