The linked article
above was written by a fellow Save America Foundation contributor, J.D.
Longstreet. J.D. has been in the
business a longtime and adds a personal flare to his material that makes you
feel as if you have known him your life. He is a dedicated patriot and in many
instances, his writing has made me feel my own material had better have its own
flare in order appear on the same page as him. The topic of discussion for J.D.
today is the upcoming political debates that will be preceding the 2014
elections. There is no doubt in the minds of American patriots that
conservative minded politicians must retake the senate and hold the house if
there is any chance of “saving America.” J.D. alludes to a topic that this
author was going to tackle at some point but he beat me to it. Such is the way
I suppose. The topic is the main talking
point of the Democrat Party, and it is already taking shape while becoming
categorically prioritized in the minds of the Democrat constituency through the
minimum wage debate. Thinking Americans know that forcing a higher minimum wage
will cost more jobs, but we also know many Americans are simply not thinking
these days, they are merely reacting to emotional cues set by the liberal narrative.
The topic of the Democrat talking points for the election is going to revolve
around their cherished theme of income inequality and something that J.D. has
identified as B.I.G. which as he points out means Basic Income Guarantee. The Democrats want their base to believe that
they can provide a guaranteed income for them without them ever having to lift
a finger. I would certainly hope that after watching the Obamacare soap opera
that Americans will be able to realize the fallacy in this as well. Sadly we won’t
know for sure the mind set of those who have been betrayed by their dear
leader, Comrade Obama until after the election, in which case, if the Democrats
retain the senate then those who voted for them get exactly what they have
coming, more disappointment and lies.
Where does this
idea of a guaranteed income for all Americans come from? Most people realize
that individual wealth grows with an economy that is producing goods and
creating jobs. Basic education used to include economics, which taught the
fundamentals of a supply and demand economy.
Companies produced products, if people wanted these products they bought
them, company grows, creates more jobs and the money earned is used to pay
employees among other things. The employees were free to either stay with this
company or invest their earnings and perhaps start their own business. This was
once referred to as..What was it called again? Oh yeah, THE AMERICAN DREAM!
This system has all but been destroyed because somewhere along the line someone
didn't think it was “fair.” Who were these people? Communists mostly, or else
people educated by communists. People like Richard Cloward and Frances Fox
Piven. A husband and wife team of dedicated social engineers, pursuing their
fanatical dream of a Utopian paradise by teaching communism at Columbia University.
While Richard Cloward is no longer among the living, Piven is still (to the
best of my knowledge) a professor of social work at Columbia. In the 1960’s
Cloward and Piven, as this dynamic duo has become best known, wrote a Scholarly
article which was published in “Psychology” journal. The article was called “The
Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to end Poverty.” This is where the idea of a
guaranteed income came from as this article called for the creation of a
welfare state designed with the explicit purpose of destroying America’s capitalist
system; which would in turn force the government to provide a guaranteed
income. http://api.ning.com/files/AbFhKfxi27kgpSFy8bZ6CP8i3tn6Xzv78*I05SPQtoRDxpefu5I9ZdCI-qcJ0m0CIQHtYbSOIVs9ivklctGzfUgAqaD9Nro2/CLOWARDPIVENSTRATEGY.pdf
http://www.thenation.com/article/weight-poor-strategy-end-poverty Their idea entailed creating a system where
everyone qualified for some type of welfare, this is likely where terms like
corporate welfare originated from (I’m speculating here) as their intent was
literally overloading the system so it would inevitably crash. There is only
one little problem and I don’t think these two socialists gave it so much
thought. Where will the wealth to give everybody a guaranteed income come from
if the system that creates wealth in the first place is destroyed? I will address this question again in a
moment.
Did you notice
that Piven is a professor of social work? I majored in social work and I can
assure you that the anti capitalist pro “social justice” (wealth
redistribution, government control) is the attitude prevalent among the vast
majority of social work professors. In fact, not only was I told I wasn't fit
for the profession because of my position opposing social justice and white privilege, it is
admitted by many professors that a belief in social justice is necessary to be
in the field to ensure equality and that everyone is entitled their fair share
of societies resources. Seeing as though Piven has been very influential in
social advocacy, having been involved in Students for a Democratic Society,
ACORN, Occupy Wall Street and has had been tied to many other communist front
groups; it is safe to say that she still, from her bully pulpit at Columbia, wields
tremendous influence over social work education. The professors in the field of social work
truly believe in the leftist’s cause of wealth redistribution and it is safe to
say that social work is actually the profession of advocating socialism. It
never ceased to amaze me how asking such simple questions about where the money
would come from could generate such hostility from a group of people. The
mindset of liberalism is one where they believe there ideas are so obviously
the solution to the problems we face there cannot possibly be another explanation.
They believe that redistributing wealth
will, without a doubt, lift everyone out of poverty to the extent that the fail
to take into account how our system creates wealth in the first place. This is
because people like Piven have conditioned the minds of these young socialists
to view our system as a poison that favors the lucky or the rich
and leaves everyone in the cold. It can be compared to the gun control debate
to the extent that liberals think that removing guns from the hands of the law
abiding will “Obviously reduce gun violence because there will be less guns.”
It doesn’t matter what the evidence says.
Another thing I
can tell you for sure America is this, and I know this from my own experience
which I have shared with you through my writing. The education system is
training people to be social activists for the left. There have been many
indications which suggest the college crowd may be turning on Obama because of
Obamacare, you better hope so. These people have already been so beat down with
lies about wealth inequality that jumping on the “Basic Income Guarantee” choo choo train could
very well be the ticket to distract these young people away from Obamacare’s
failures. If the Democrats are successful at this than the only ones we have to
blame would be ourselves. We have to be involved with these young people and
show them the fallacy of liberal logic. They have to see that by forcing this
deranged version of equality upon us they are simply guaranteeing a system
where the middle class has all but been destroyed and two classes exist, the
elite and the serfs. This is what many of these young people believe they are
protesting in an effort to prevent from happening. They believe their
dedication to the Democrat party and the leftist cause is one that will create
a world where there is no suffering and everything is fair. They don’t understand
that total equality has historically proven that everyone will be equally poor.
Perhaps that’s what they think will be fair. Maybe they are so full of hate
towards those who have achieved something that they would just as soon see them
poor as they would try to do that for themselves.
