What is the 30 year conservative lie?
""That's well known. Far less often discussed is the flipside of this belief: that helping the less well off will dampen the American money-generating engine—that it will hurt growth, because the only thing that inspires the "job creators" to work so hard is the promise of insanely vast financial rewards. Poverty is a necessary evil in this worldview, and helping the less well off creates a "culture of dependency," which discourages work. "The United States thrives because of a culture of opportunity that encourages work and disdains relying on handouts," Matthew Spalding of The Heritage Foundation wrote in 2012, neatly summing up the conservative ethos.
""
No proof is presented of the assertion that this is a lie. " insanely vast financial rewards." may not be necessary, but confiscating those rewards has to be a disincentive. Some of the blame for too high salaries is due to the progressives attempting and failing to keep a lid on. This distorts the market, causing the rising wage.
If inequity is a problem, it is a problem everywhere. Why should people dependent on handouts get more in the US than in Bangladesh? And if the dependent on handout people can't support themselves, why not send them to a low cost of living country like Bangladesh?
Why not contribute all of the welfare funds to a world wide welfare system, so we get real equality of the dependents. Why are US dependents any more deserving than the poor of Bangladesh? You are not raciest, are you?
But lets not be hasty. Lets do it state at a time. We can achieve equality at the state level by exporting the dependent class to our highly progressive blue states. (this won''t require force, the red states can transfer the welfare funds with the people. the people will follow the handout) The progressives can demonstrate the value of equality, and the red states can try proving the 20 year old lie.
I won't be betting on the progressive blue states.
