Thread Name: BS: Poverty in the USA
Subject: RE: BS: Poverty in the USA
Think Cambodia in 1975. And I am for, like I said, almost every program that anyone can think of, as well as tax reform etc. But simultaneously, and I seem to be a lone light in the darkness here, I want people to behave, voluntarily or not, in ways that do not increase the burden on other people. And I want to extract some public service from everyone who is not otherwise working or taking care of many family members or one requiring a lot of help. That means, every able bodied/minded person who is available will rake leaves, shovel snow, work after being screened in nurseries, schools, parks etc. Up and out of the house by 8 a.m., or work another shift. You have to get people in the mindset of working, in the routine of working, in the expectation of working, and they have to be respected for their work. mg
