Bondage or freedom? Dependent or independent?

Existing on hand-outs is not freedom. It is bondage. It appears that some people prefer bondage to freedom. They want to be taken care of and go to great lengths to achieve and maintain that status.

Bondage or freedom? Dependent or independent?

Who sets up that system? Employers pay low wages, that make the employee independent on one hand, then on the other hand, due to the low wages, the employee must become dependent on the government to level the income field, by giving free food and services, which results in being looked down upon by the general population who gets higher wages, enabling them to remain independent of the government handouts.

Everybody likes getting something for free. However, when some people live off of goods and services that are more free than not free, society as a whole sees them as a drag with the potential to drag the whole group down with them.

That’s when you lose your rights. When you sign up for assistance programs you are treated with less respect than those who don’t. Those who service you, act like the police, like they own your life and you do what they tell you do do, the way and when they tell you to do it or don’t bother applying for assistance.

Everybody understands that the system needs to be standardized, but many times the way it is applied is with distain for the applicant.

Do you really want to be in prison is what they’re trying to tell you. They want you to feel uncomfortable, thinking that discomfort will motivate you to make more money doing something else, but the government allows companies to pay below subsistence wages, which put all, unskilled they call them, workers at a financial disadvantage.

Ease up. Anybody could be in that situation.

President Biden is too old school. He waits too long to get anything done, always putting decision-making off, until it’s war time, and he’s hot to trot all over the globe acting like the great negotiator with his armies in tow.

Get out of the old school. We don’t want to hear what you’re going to do in a year. We want you to do it now. What are you waiting for, problems to resolve themselves? Do you want riots from the Spanish speaking people next? Raise wages. Small businesses will have to hire fewer people. So what. They’re already doing that and saving a windfall on payroll due to the pandemic.

People don’t want to be on food stamps and electric bill vouchers and rent vouchers, they want to pay their own way, so let them.

It seems like you want to perpetuate a slave-wage economy with handouts.

Keep your handouts, we want wages, not handouts. Grubby, stinky food. You know don’t you that whenever the government gives a grant for poor people, the organizers take most of it and give the actual poor people crumbs.

We want wages, not crumbs. We’re not birds, so stop feeding us like birds. The middle people always take the most of it anyway – the distributors of the handouts, the organizations that tell you they’ll handle it. Yes, right into their own pockets.

Fifteen dollars across the board, unless you’re in the tipping business, or get rid of tipping. Selecting certain groups to get different minimum wage benefits is discrimination.

You’re not going to get your work force back unless you do. Now. I know you’re waiting until the pandemic is over. Who forecasted that?
