Are Poor People Really People?

Too late then, no? Let's start now. We should just take a state and dedicate it to those on welfare, say Mississippi (although most Southern states will do). You HAVE to live there to get welfare, but, BUT, nobody gets paid to work anywhere. Welfare recipients have to work the grocery stores, clothing stores, etc. They have to police themselves, do their own repairs, plumbing, etc, maintain roadways....for free. No medical. It would be an interesting study.

I would agree, however, grocery stores and repairs, including plumbing, etc are not government funded jobs, and therefore do not hold the same reciprocity. If medical were a universal thing, then I would agree there. But its not.

But honestly dude, you are totally on to something. Move all welfare leechers to one state, all "dont tread on me" freaks to another state, and let the hard working folks choose where they want to be.

As long as us "don't tread on me" freaks get Colorado, I'm in.

I think I'll just watch the carnage impartially from my vantage point up here.

I have been eyeing Alaska, GWN. I too want to watch the carnage from a safe distance. I'll probably go the other way, where food grows year round, abundant water, and you can hunt/fish.

So, perhaps it's semantics. Let;s stop calling it welfare and call it jobs for everyone. The infrastructure is already there. Say we do away with welfare, so anyone who needs it has to move to Mississippi, where they are guaranteed a job. The pay doesn't all have to be low for every job, so there is incentive to do better. Say medical jobs are provided by recent grads who get tuition reimbursement for a two-4 year stint. If run properly, I bet in a few years they have the best maintained state in the country.

I used to tell people that said "I'm bored" to go start a fire.

I did that shit in Detroit a few decades ago, a couple days before Halloween. Never again!

answer to question in OP: sorta.

only in the sense that they are Homo Sapien. most of the other qualities are not quite there anymore. sponge bob and honey boo-boo child have dulled them to globs of fat held up by a bony skeleton that's riddled with calcium deficiency and hep C.
