You're welcome. If your looking to dive further down the rabbit hole, I'd recommend reading Death of the Liberal Class (2010) by Chris Hedges. It focuses on how we ended up with a political climate that presented the opportunity for some one like Trump and his cohorts to seize power.

From the promo:

> For decades the liberal class was a defense against the worst excesses of power. But the pillars of the liberal class— the press, universities, the labor movement, the Democratic Party, and liberal religious institutions—have collapsed. In its absence, the poor, the working class, and even the middle class no longer have a champion.

They think that they do now, and his name is Donald Trump.

Here's a video of him giving a lecture on the books topic.

people use statistics to push political agendas, a good book I can suggest is how to lie with statistics
https://www.amazon.com/How-Lie-Statistics-Darrell-Huff/dp/0393310728

its a good read without any political bais. btw, I'm a democrat. of the ten trump supporters I know about two of them support his strike on Syria. and when I was arguing with some of them pre-election one of their main points against Hillary was her no fly zone policy.

Start understanding why it is that people are driven to come here illegally. The immigration/refuge process takes years, even decades. And the people who come here illegally rarely take the opportunities that migrants do. A good starter is here (https://www.amazon.com/They-Take-Our-Jobs-Immigration/dp/0807041564).

Mace carrier here! May have saved me from an assault when two guys started approaching me right next to my college. I recommend Sabre. I got this one here: Pepper Spray,15gr Quik Release https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UVTDLG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_wFGkzbQZ5ZCET

It has a 10 foot range and UV marking dyes. It's used by many police forces.

Don't know if you are serious about getting some but hey, some info is always good (:

Don't forget to call your local police immediately to tell them if you ever used it or threatened to use it. I was only threatening with mine and it was enough to scare them away after a lengthy yelling match. The cops said I did the right thing and patrolled the area a bit more for the next few days.

Stay safe!

You're still going to find more constructive ways to disagree. Give it a chance.

You can start with this one. It covers the lies and fabrications leading up to the invasion of Iraq.

> It seems like you are trying to blame poverty on assistance programs

I think poverty is a very very complex social problem that has scores of causes and assistance programs that are not designed well (and maybe even ones that are designed well) are a factor in some peoples poverty yes. Do I think it's a primary factor? Probably not, I'm not sure. Do I think we don't study the long effects of government programs closely enough. Absolutely.

>but I don't think you understand who uses them. Most people on assistance DO work.

I think your trying to toss me in with a lot of old people that bought into the welfare queen myth of the 80's which I am not one. I've seen the statistics and I do understand that many people on welfare work. My concern was on how welfare is structured and it's potential to trap people and not encourage them to work into higher income bracket where they can support themselves without assistance. My other concern was it's potential unstudied effects like destruction of fatherhood, class conflict, incentivizeing fraud, victim mentality, etc. I'm pro or con black or white issue. Again, I'm not completely against welfare programs I just think we should be very very careful about how they are used and should closely study outcomes. For the record I was raised very liberal and support welfare programs and called for more of them for years but have sense altered my position.

> And a large portion of the users are lower enlisted military families

I've actually never heard this. Most military families I know are not rich but are not hurting because of generous banking terms (very low loan rates), healthcare supplementation and housing/food support if living on base or near it. If this is true the military should look into this and possibly adjust wages. No military family should need food stamps (unless of course it's a single earning parent at the lowest rung of the military with a non working spouse who has chosen to have more then 3 or 4 kids and in that case that's incredibly irresponsible and should not be allowed or encouraged with benefits.) I'm also wondering if this is due to higher cost of living in certain areas? Which the military should again look into...

> Assistance alone isn't enough for someone to abuse the system.

I don't know what you mean by this. People abuse systems all the time regardless of what you think is worth abusing based on your moral compass.

> This country has a relatively efficient system.

This might be true but I'm highly highly skeptical. How would you really measure this. Is there a non biased non profit that's looked at efficiency of welfare systems and ranks the US highly on gov efficiency?? My original comment wasn't just about efficiency but about long term societal cost of creating potential people trapped in systemic poverty and welfare being a 'factor' in that trap.

I again want to just stop here and tell you I'm not against welfare and if you press a lot of conservatives many aren't for a complete break down of welfare either. Let's say you designed a government program that gave people a free bus ticket and housing stipend to move to areas with lower cost of living and more jobs. I think you'd find more support for a program like that. Or maybe you wanted to redesign the tax system and take benefits away but also pay people a small universal income. This idea actually came from conservative economists and is also called a negative tax. It saves a lot of money because it gets government out of a lot of administrative and enforcement costs of running these programs and stimulates the economy. I know that these programs also have drawbacks and potential pitfalls down the road but they should be on the table and the conservative talking points should be discussed not dismissed as racist or heartless. People go into fight or flight when they are dismissed and attacked. That's what's going on in our country we've completely stopped talking to people with opposing viewpoints and simply gone into attack mode, in group out group mode.

> Spending tax dollars on weeding out the abusers is an over glorified witch hunt.

Is catching speeders a witch hunt? Is fining litterers a witch hunt? I'm not sure I support the drug tests but you have to at least understand why people might want a drug test?? They don't want their hard earned dollar going to people sitting around all day doing drugs or doing drugs and working. If most people using welfare are normal working people then a drug test shouldn't be a big deal right? Again I'm just playing devils advocate.

> They came up with nothing significant and used millions to do it.

Agreed. It was a basically a stunt and the drug testing company was owned by one of the politicians pushing it. So it was just a way to fleece the conservative base. This is also a bad thing. But just imagine if dems would have come to the table and tried to make a compromise? Maybe it wouldn't have been such a fiasco.

> I don't want to pay for the road that gets you home but I still have to because you should have a road.

I think now you're trying to straw man me. I'm not stating that we shouldn't have taxes that pay for items for the common good. I'm saying that using guns to take peoples money and give it to someone else is not right it's a privilege that was given to the government through contractual consent. The people that founded this country agreed to be governed and they can un-agree if they feel that the contract is broken. (I know I sound like a bit of a militia nut with that statement but that's what our country was founded on, contractual agreement by men that really didn't like powerful central government controlled by a king or a massive populace).

> Gather multiple sources and educate yourself.

I'd like to believe I have actually (because I grew up reading and thumping it to people). I feel like I've heard both arguments but feel free to recommend pro welfare literature/sites. Personally I'd highly recommend you try out these books for starters.

(This second book is very biased and written by a guy that was overexposed and probably burnt out by really shit people but at least he's honest about his bias)

> As for what affects culture, our President, the figurehead of our country, is stumbling through the presidency like a toddler

LOL. Totally agree. I grabbed a bottle of rye at 7am and watched the hearings and I think this guy needs to be impeached. Please don't assume because I'm critical of welfare design and long term societal impacts that I'm a Trump voter.

> He is not just using tax dollars, he is flagrantly wasting tax dollars. That is what affects our culture.

Yes. I agree with this as well. Lots of things waste our tax dollars. Waste will always be part of the system but that doesn't mean we give up the fight tpo monitor and adjust it.

> Who can trust government when they cut healthcare with one hand and sign up for millions in travel costs with the other?

You bring up a very interesting point here. Neither side is really getting it's way in the government and we are having such wild swings of political ideology that the next leadership team is undoing whatever the last one established. Trust of government is completely broken but this has only served to allow astro turf corporate candidates infest our government. Corporations have more say in our government then it's citizens and the plebs are busy having a bullshit culture war and arguing at each other while the golden goose is getting robbed. Neither base is really getting any answer or solutions to their problems because of graft, corruption and income inequality/class warfare.

You seem like an intelligent person. You might like this analysis written by a programmer named Michael O. Church about class in the US.

> Maybe what you are saying is the reasoning behind certain ways of thinking but it just doesn't make sense.

It doesn't make sense because our political beliefs are largely influenced by deeply ingrained schema on how we see the world taught to us by our families. It's really difficult to see that the other-side has a legit argument without understanding their worldview.

Lakhoff nailed this in his book 'Don't Think of an Elephant'

> Maybe it's easier to tear apart nameless "freeloaders" than accept one more problem with the President.

LOL. Why not both?? ....Just kidding. I don't think most welfare abusers see themselves as freeloaders. I think people in poverty are living day to day and think that abusing the system is just surviving and I think the white collar criminals are probably in a very warped way thinking the same way. Humans are gonna human.

In closing I just want to say that you can have a lot of compassion of other humans and want to see a better society with happier, well fed people and be against certain welfare programs. Humans are hell-a complicated and there are other ways to make people health and happy besides cutting a segment of them a check or a rebate or a voucher.

haha. Actually, i'm African-American. Why does it matter though? I'm not pushing an agenda. I'm not a trumpet here trolling, i didn't even give an opinion about slavery, just commenting that there seems to have been white slaves. It's not just Irish people either. Here's an excerpt from its page on amazon. I thought you'd want to be privy to this information since you're saying it isn't true and there is documentation that disagrees with you.

"White Cargo is the forgotten story of the thousands of Britons who lived and died in bondage in Britain’s American colonies.

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, more than 300,000 white people were shipped to America as slaves. Urchins were swept up from London’s streets to labor in the tobacco fields, where life expectancy was no more than two years. Brothels were raided to provide “breeders” for Virginia. Hopeful migrants were duped into signing as indentured servants, unaware they would become personal property who could be bought, sold, and even gambled away. Transported convicts were paraded for sale like livestock.

Drawing on letters crying for help, diaries, and court and government archives, Don Jordan and Michael Walsh demonstrate that the brutalities usually associated with black slavery alone were perpetrated on whites throughout British rule. The trade ended with American independence, but the British still tried to sell convicts in their former colonies, which prompted one of the most audacious plots in Anglo-American history.

This is a saga of exploration and cruelty spanning 170 years that has been submerged under the overwhelming memory of black slavery. White Cargo brings the brutal, uncomfortable story to the surface."
