Why Americans won’t work
We must import poor, unskilled workers to do the jobs Americans just won’t do. Why won’t we do them? The government pays our poor people through welfare not to work.
It makes more economic sense to collect government checks than to relocate for hard work that pays less. Our government has therefore not only killed upward mobility, but lateral mobility as well. They don’t want people moving around all higgledy-piggledy, upsetting their gerrymandered districts.
The government has created a permanent underclass that will always rely on it for sustenance. Add to this mix the notion that health care is a natural right that can only be provided by the government, and this is pure Marxist-Leninism. Free health care is in violation of the 13th Amendment. The government is forcing involuntary servitude of an entire industry.
We are witnessing a total power grab by the ruling class. If they are successful, we will be under their thumb in a totalitarian state. Trump threatens that model with his populist uprising. You don’t need to like him or agree with him, but you’d better hope he succeeds in draining the swamp.
