High welfare payments incentivizes lack of ambition. High minimum wage prevents people from getting a job.
It is true, there is a lot of it to do with laziness. However, there are factors on the opposite side as well... especially with wealth inequality growing further over time. Both of these forces are at fault:
re: wealth inequality You fell for the dangerous nonsense from the Left. Noam Chomsky jus- tified the killing fields of Cambodia. the murder of millions by the Khmer Rouge. https://newcriterion.com/issues/2003/5/the-hypocrisy-of-noam-chomsky
Wealth equality is more bs that rewards laziness and the uncreative. Thank god Governor Desantis just outlawed Afro American studies as an AP course. Talk about a useless class that does absolutely nothing to challenge the mind of a child. Finger painting would be more challenging. And they wonder why todays children wont be prepared for the real world… its because of nonsense classes like that which will perpetuate poverty… Besides, they already teach slavery and civil rights in normal history classes. No one wants that CRT garbage rammed down a childs throat.. Chidren need more math and science’s to succeed and stay out of povery not bull shit like afro studies.
I see it differently. Americans are forced into debt massively by design. Studying, cars, houses, credit cards all require debt. Cars are also expensive to maintain and they are forced to own one by city designs. Debt means you are forced to take every job possible which is not healthy to your salary.
I fully understand that laziness and propensity to violence have likely been major problems in your life. But seriously spamming this board with racist content just identifies you as a huge loser in life. Doesn't matter what "community" you belong to. There has to be some remedial classes for guys like you to try to overcome their past and become a more moral, productive member of society. That being said, there are some real creeps on the internet. Like the Dutch guy who persuaded numerous strangers to consider suicide. I'm not saying you are as bad as that guy, but you might be. Something about your moral compass is deeply flawed.
Lets look at some violent inner cities for example. They are havens for crime, violence, and bad dedisions. I can point to many impoverished area’s in our country that have average to low crime. Its a cultural issue as well. Some forms of behavior seems to be accepted in certain cultires in our country and thats sad.
The states of Mississippi and Louisiana have the highest murder rate in the country. Other than New Orleans not much in the way of cities - of any great size. Meanwhile NYC for about 30 years at least has had one of the lowest murder of big cities. Even still after they got rid of the last leftie lewzer Mayor De Blasio. MS and LA 7th and 13th in gun ownership too. Lot a good that does them. Tough gun laws are a yuuge part of NYC's success in keeping murder and violent crime rate low. Regardless of the gun nutz nonsense rhetoric. Culture schmulture.
