It's funny how the conservative right remembers them as examples of things that go wrong, but never tries to improve their lifestyle. Two can play at that game!
Low qualifications on those poor people mean that they can only apply for low wage jobs... the same jobs that have been outsourced to China and India, because they can be even cheaper there.
Without income from jobs, the struggle for survival leads to crime and the need of guns.
As an example, a welfare state can ameliorate that by introducing an subsistence subsidy for people who have no job, while giving them incentives to find a job, typically, by keeping that subsidy a bit below minimum wage and only providing it for a certain period.
At the same time, somehow (and I don't know anything of US tax law to have an opinion) provide incentives for companies to set up shop in the country. Raising import taxes is one way.... goods made in China have to return to the states, somehow to be sold, right?
It's like all the policies that the "political left" wants implemented come together to form a cohesive peaceful whole thriving community...
You're right. The conservative right is predominantly a fucking sham as well. But I'm not the conservative right, and Gawdzilla isn't the conservative right. So I don't see what they have to do with the discussion. It's the same thing with religion. I bring up something to an atheist, and they're always "Yeah, but theists do this!!!" But I'm not a theist. They're not a theist. I get why it happens, but it shouldn't.
The black cops statement I hope is a joke.
I'm not sure what you're talking about with welfare and minimum wage jobs. That's what we already have. The other part is interesting though. It's odd you'd associate anti-globalism with the political left. The political left AND political right are globalists. They want those jobs in China and India. Trump and Bernie were the two looking to change that.
The problem is ages of wrong policies that created the current state of affairs which is far from nice, or "great".
Trump isn't doing anything about it. So much for making America great again....
Obama didn't do anything either. Peace Nobel Prize, yeah right!
There needs to be a consolidated policy that aims to improve the lifestyle of everyone (or the most people as possible) and, honestly, "free market" has shown time and time again that is the wrong way.
Yes, in case the smiley didn't give it away, the black cops statement was a joke.
