Quote:Yes the poor overwhelmingly are victims of a political system ruled by over regulation choking out opportunity. Don't confuse that with victims needing more welfare they're victims of a system that insist they remain poor in order to control their votes.


Don't let the political elites define terms, we're all victims of an over regulated society. Those people stuck on food stamps the majority of them don't want to be but what choice is there when government constantly drives companies out of business with heavy regulations and taxes. Them of the welfare recipients start to get ahead not only do we cut off their help the government also hits them again and starts taxing them more.


The production tax system we currently use makes it 100 times more difficult for the poor to pull themselves out of poverty. Attack the reason why their in need of assistance and that reason is our tax code and government interference.

 

Regulation cannot and is not the only problem here. Deregulating does not increase wages in fact it will lower them by not requiring a minimum wage at the types of jobs these groups of people are able to work at. That, In addition to removing or reducing the safety nets, does nothing to help people. An argument could be made that the worst off would be even worse off.
