FOLLOW THE LEADER 2

LBJ did not start the Great Society welfare state amidst the Vietnam war because he was a softy for Negro’s.  He didn’t care about civil rights, past abuses, the plight of the poor, the health of hillbillies or geriatrics.  He wasn’t trying to bankrupt us by doing the whole guns and butter thing at the same time.  He was, simply, continuing the war by bribing the peasants who were revolting.  Blacks rioting in every major city?  Bribe them with welfare.  Any mass protest against anything other than the military draft?  Bribe them with welfare.  It was all a simple bribe.  The draft continued because the military needed its cannon fodder.  That would only change once the war was acknowledged as lost.  But everything else, every group that had a solid base to protest, bribe them with welfare ( once the old pukes saw the young being bribed, not content with Medicare, the greedy bastards, the geriatrics agitated for much more in the way of bribes.  Just in time when I entered the workplace, Social Security withholding went way up.  Enjoying more of my money, you parasitic bastards? If any of you think I‘ll see any of that retirement money in fifteen years, you are delusional.  No way our system lasts that long ).  Now, I’m not just ranting here.  I’m working up to a very important point.  Welfare is not a reward to the ghetto dwellers for being lazy.  Welfare is a control mechanism wielded by the FedGov.  It is as simple as that.

Our economic engine sputtered out a long time ago and without welfare bribes to almost all of the population, we would have descended into chaos and anarchy decades ago.  You worry about a future where the government socializes all jobs and controls everything?  It is already here.  Ever heard of fascism?  It is the same as socialism, except that the government isn’t bothered with as many details economically.  They control the private sector through regulation and taxation.  The business is still run by citizens, not civil servants, but the government controls the business nonetheless.  Socialism is too expensive, being labor heavy.  Fascism is the poor mans way to socialize an economy, using far less people for control.  Yet, socialism is great for sopping up the unemployed.  Make work jobs are everywhere.  Under fascism, if you aren’t ramping up for or already conducting a war, you need to do something with the poor.  Under our system, we don’t employ them, we bribe them to stay quiet and behave with welfare.  We can’t go back to the Great Depression, with the army of FedGov workers building roads and dams and clearing forests.  We don’t have the physical resources for that.  And we can’t go back to World War Two, or even the Vietnam War, because, again, we don’t have the energy or ore to conduct a war big enough to sop up the unemployed.  Welfare is the cheapest way to occupy and pacify the unemployed.  Of course, all that had a price, in crime and social unrest.  More next article.
