The Poor are Retarded

posted by ohphukimintrouble on politics

It's a matter of fact that those who are poor tend to typically lower IQ. You can dispute this all you want, but facts are facts. I think we ought to treat the poor who collect welfare with more rigor and give them more attention. I think there needs to be an end to the neoliberal ways of throwing money at them and expecting them to have a clue with what to do with it.

When you're on welfare, you should accept a cut in financial freedom in return for assistance. National economies have to meet a certain criteria for getting aid and/or loans. Why shouldn't the poor? Welfare should be a tool for learning and paving the way for preventative measures. I could liken the individual to an economy of an African banana republic. Unless you take the leap to meet certain conditions, you should be ineligible for welfare.

We ought to control the spending of those on welfare. They're poor because they have no money management ability. Why do we continue to just give them money when it doesn't help? I think it's shocking that beneficiary parents are given the liberty to buy drugs with public money while children have to go without food. Why aren't we controlling their spending habits?

The best way to control their spending is by direct targeting of welfare. Food stamps are a great example of a streamlined welfare programme with very little abuse. There are certain eftpos-like cards that work for certain goods and services. We should deploy that to those who demonstrate they have the mental capacity to handling of their own finances.

Why aren't we more stringent towards the poor's treatment of public housing? They're allowed to move into a house, trash it, then get rewarded with another one where the cycle repeats. There's no respect for the property of others. If you destroy more expensive welfare like public housing, you should be homeless on the streets. There are plenty of good properties, publicly owned, that have been plagued by individuals who destroy entire blocks. That is a roof that could and should be going to a mother fleeing an abusive situation with her children.

I can't stand the lack of push to not get a job. Inter-generational illiteracy, unemployment and reliance on the state. We should be pushing to get people off welfare as soon as possible. If there isn't the jobs at the lower-end, we should be training them up in apprenticeships or getting them involved in some form of workfare.

There are legitimate cases for welfare for those naturally unlucky. We can and should still target to help their needs directly. The crippled deserve direct help. Fortunately, the status quo does this already. There doesn't need to be any specific widespread change in this area.

I believe we need to be controlling the poor on welfare. They don't deserve the same amount of economic freedom as someone who earns their income. Their economic liberties should be sacrificed in exchange for assistance.

I had a woman complain to me that she had to go through bins for food yet smoked a packet of cigarettes a day. That's 30 dollars a day or more just there. I can eat like a king for 30 dollars a day. I also suspect she had a meth or at least dope habit. That shit doesn't come cheap either. Shes is on a disability pension for some mental illness and that's 440AUD a week no tax. She never buys anything new, and her house is a low rent commission house part of which is paid by rental assistance. She does run her heater all day and night which means the bill must be enormous.

Meanwhile when I got sick for a while i was left on the unemployment benefit, they didn't care that I was paying off a loan costing me 240 a week and I was eating 2 minute noodles most nights to survive and could barely afford to run a heater.

On the other hand what the fuck are governments doing to educate people? Why aren't they teaching them some life skills instead of this short term memory stacking bullshit that is doled out now. Teach people how to do simple budgeting, teach them how to eat healthy and stack energy for endurance and ignore the advertising bullshit big food companies peddle 24/7, teach people how to sew and cook and fix their cars.
