No! Not incorrectmundo. It is a mater of simple arithmetic.

Whites on Welfare: Very true, but there are per capita, more white folks than there are Blacks or Hispanics. Are we talking percentage value?

Lots of Data on the Internet.

Why welfare and Poverty? People do not understand Capitalism (The exchange of wealth for wealth and profit) or the Terms Free Market / Free Enterprise.

People tend to walk all over themselves when it comes to standing on their own two feet and think they must have a job in order to live. Well, owner operators are a step closer to freedom than the company employee, but they still have not learned the simple facts of life about producing wealth.

Since there is very little wealth among the population, then we have to look at why we have such poverty and high crime rates.

The simple fact is most people are looking to government these days for assistance:
Truck School Funding Grants
Other School Grants
Medical Coverage
Welfare
and far too many people look at government for employment these days.

Who pays for all this Social Service Expense?

We the Tax Payers? Of Course! and how much do we make to cover all these leaches on the tax payers?

% wise: More blacks are on drugs, but far too many of all are on drugs. Evin this city it has been quoted that 33% are on drugs; either recreational or hard liners. Who pays when they get into trouble legally or medically?

The Tax payers.

and we could go on an on. The simple fact is, the master planners of our world had better start doing some master planning before we all find ourselves in some real problems. If you can't see them coming, you are blind.

People on Welfare need to take a mandatory drug test before being allowed welfare. If found to have drugs in the system, they should be locked up until they are clean. Three times and line them up against a wall and shoot them.

Crime in America! Much of it centers around drugs and is the prime reason for many break in's where homes are trashed. These people should be hung by their _____, until they stop breathing. Many of them are on and off welfare, to include many generational welfare individuals.

Welfare is for the needy, not the stupid and the lazy. The way it is today, it just means job security for welfare workers and other government support agencies as well as dictates the need for more police within a community.

Freeriding the government sucks, absolutely, but if I were going to get into trucking today, I'd get something like the HOPE grant to pay for it. No way would I pay for truck-driver training with my own funds. Already did that once and regret it to this day.

And why shouldn't the working class ask for government help? Plenty of folks a lot better off than I am are sucking all kinds of government sugar titties. One group doing plenty of sucking is the military. That leech is scarfing down over 400 billion tax dollars out of our pockets each year, and look at what the common grunt gets for that money: flimsy tents that blow down in the desert wind and drinking water that gives soldiers diarhea, not to mention the humvees that have unrolled beer cans for floorboards. Where is the 400 billion per year going? I can't imagine what 400 billion would look like. I wonder how high 400 billion in ones would go? I do know that if I went back in time 400 billion seconds, it'd be about the year 10,500 BC. 400 billion, and that's for only one year. Those new f-22s had better be able to go at light speed.

Of course, many trucking companies get a government kick-back on each student they hire that graduate from training schools. Schools that many of those same companies own. I'm sure this runs into the tens of millions, if not the hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

Everybody else seems to be sucking the titty. I'd be sucking it too if I had a reason.

Yeah I drive a Swift truck
And that means one thing
It means she's slow
It's a typical company truck
It's just all show and no go

I'm gettin' passed by Yella
And even Overnite
I'm gettin' passed by ever' body in sight
46 days on the road
And I'm not gettin' home tonight

No, my hometown's nowhere in sight
And if you think I'm pissed off
You're right
46 days on the road
And I'm not gettin' home tonight


Love pissing off those trucking company insiders.

There is never a reason, only an excuse! Wealth is created by practicing Capitalism; engaging in the marketing and sales world is the most lucrative.
No one in the United States of America who has any vision and ambition should be needy upon retirement; yet the majority are.

The Land of Opportunity and most stick their noses in the air when asked to participate in their own salvation.

I can't argue with you, brother. I agree with you 100%. The biggest problem in the USA is the fact that people MUST rely on the government in some cases. Think about those people who curse government interference in their lives, yet come crawling to the governnent when a tornado or flood destroys their castles. Of course, the government obliges, although the idiots knew about flood risk and tornado risk, yet bought no flood or tornado insurance. If I play right and buy insurance, I'm playing the fool. No thanks. I'll save that money and rely on the government when the time comes just like everybody else.

And don't get me started on all the free rides farmers and ranchers get. It's no wonder some farms out west with nothing going for them are selling for big bucks. There's a sugar titty behind the scenes, that's why. If I buy one of those ranches, I want the titty that goes with it, boy!

Freeloading is a fact of life these days. Lots of folks do it.

And we let 'em do it.

Histories The Fall of Nations shows it is preceded by:
Complacency
Apathy
Social Dependence (learning that Government has free money)

of which bankrupts the nation and leads everyone into slavery.

Louisiana's problems were not the problems of the Federal Government, but the Fed's got blamed. The fact Louisiana was a welfare state is part of the reason things fell apart during and after the storm.

The School buses that became immersed in water were enough to carry the poor to safety, yet they did not move.

The Mayor of New Orleans and the Governor o the State were responsible for the problems Louisiana suffered, but the people who accepted the life of nothing because welfare was so easy have no one to blame but themselves.

The trashed the centers provided for care during this time and terrorized as well as raped women and created a lot of fear on top of the devastation.

This is a good look at what dependence upon government will do to any State or Country by people who are so blind.

Thos who know better practice Capitalism because they know they can't live off of the scrapes fed from the Socialist table.

Government and politicians are necessary but to place all your trust in them is to be foolish.

And what was this thread all about again? I think we're stuck in a gyre here.

Well, there is not much you can say about the bullet that hit someone in California. It is part of the social circumstances we are all threatened by these days.

Social Dependence leads into Poverty. From poverty we see all kinds of criminal activity.

What a shame we live in such a paradise that likewise, very dangerous.

I remember struggling to avoid hitting criminals that were trying to get hit by a truck on I - 10 on three separate occasions many years ago. 1990 - I believe. My truck never touched the bumper of any of those characters, but on the 3rd occasion, I had to slam on my breaks a 3rd time as they did not want to give up.

I was almost at a stand still when they finally drove off.

A few years later, I pulled out of Kraft in LA, cutting across Anaheim to get to Ontario on the 4th of July when there was a gang bang shoot out in the middle of the interstate. I was lucky enough to take an exit, cut left to Orangethorp and make a right to get around that mess. Bodies laying in the street according to the CB.

Other incidents around LA made me well aware, life did not mean much to some people in California.

And just think, it is spreading out from L.A.!

Yes, it is getting bad in a lot of places. Very angry people today on top of those who just have no clue what life is supposed to be.

I don't see it getting any better until people wake up and make the changes necessary in this country of ours.

Same problems in England and lots of problems across areas of Europe.

Be safe out there.
