Well, my dad told me when I was about 10 years old that the only purpose of a socialist government was to wage war.
Of course, he was talking about physical wars, but he should’ve mentioned that socialist governments also like to fight wars that are abstract as well.
And, he could’ve added t for good measure that socialist governments like to kill people.
The homeless are a perfect example.
Hey, the government has got a pretty good racket going with the homeless people, don’t they?
I mean, why take all these abandoned buildings downtown and make homeless shelters and institutions out of themwhen you can just leave homeless out on the street where they are sure to die quicker?
That’s what our governments do.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what kinds of things you need to do to fix homelessness.
You have abandoned buildings. You have a certain sector of the homeless population that is not on drugs and that is able to care for the people who can’t care for themselves. Those people need jobs. You certainly have drug addicts who are totally incapable of caring for themselves. And you have mentally unstable people who certainly need structured living.
So what’s the problem here?
Isn’t it a matter of just ponying up the bucks, converting some buildings to mental institutions and homeless shelters, and employing those homeless who can work?
Wouldn’t cleaning up the neighborhood be good for the other businesses that surround these homeless encampments?
It sounds like a good idea to me, so what’s the problem?
The problem is that the people who run our government at the top make and save a lot of money off the homeless.
As do their crony capitalist friends in real estate who make a fortune renting temporary houses and apartments to the homeless.
As do the social workers and other support staff in that part of the government geared to managing the homeless.
And … the best thing about it for the government is that these people die off quicker.
You just milk them for what little you can, and then you let them die off.
Of course they die sooner. They are living out in the elements. Plus, there are no doors to lock, thus the murder rates of the homeless far outpaces the average murder rate of regular citizens who live inside a house.
Surprise!
It’s genocide in disguise.
The government doesn’t have to worry about Social Security for these people.
The government doesn’t have to worry about healthcare costs rising out of control.
Fuck healthcare for these people.
Healthcare is expensive.
Why, it’s a bonanza for the government and the crony capitalists.
There’s no need to build any buildings. You just designate a huge section of the city as the homeless zone.
You don’t have to pick up any trash. You really don’t have to have any police response time.
It’s beautiful.
Why, it’s a beautiful arrangement for the government.
Let’s go for it!
Sincerely,
