“. . . A long habit of not thinking a thing WRONG, gives it a superficial appearance of being RIGHT, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason.”
Socialism is an economic theory. Therefore we don’t think of it as wrong just a theory. By tradition the ghettos of America receive welfare. Socialistic welfare destroys work ethic hence a principle of God. A workfare system builds from a base a work ethic. Just like a PEF (perpetual educational fund) builds an educated base. A voucher system might bring a capitalistic example of how capitalism works.
It might even do better then the socialist system run by a majority of self proclaimed liberal teachers. I mean teaching work, the value of education, and captilism might be teaching values but so what. In less you claim values are a subset of religion therefore blocked by the first amendment because the government might teach part of a religion as a good thing. I know only two ways around that argument. First read what the founding fathers meant, not the supreme court (cause it was the supreme court that came up with the “wall”) , or take schooling and give it back to the parents. What parents, oh oh thats right traditional family’s that religion teaches about Mom and Dad and not having sex before being married those have contributed to the decline of the family for certain really poor groups who most need education so we can’t put it on the parents. So has crime degraded the economics of the poor and ultimately, I privately wonder if poor folks of the getto ever were exposed to the rural values of the American Dream.
But still it goes on and the ghettos are built on superficial appearance of the value, “America (government) helps it’s poor”. If you read literally, the last statement is even true in a way. But is that the right way?
