Who really supports welfare?

Who really supports welfare?

by Matthew Edward Hayward on Friday, February 4, 2011

Democrats support localized social welfare; they also support (generally speaking) foreign welfare. Republicans support corporate welfare, and foreign welfare, though not in the same context as Democrats. Both major parties support welfare, the difference only being to whom the plundered money should go. True conservatives and libertarians however, oppose the welfare warfare system, they also oppose corporatism. Foreign welfare, whether intended for humanitarian or geopolitical reasons, is wrong and immoral, especially when it comes before the welfare of ones own country. It is not in our best interest to prop up dictators of foreign nations, inciting massive hatred for America while going bankrupt borrowing the money from China and the Federal Reserve.

Mainstream Republicans view it as immoral to plunder one class of society to benefit another, yet they find it reasonable to borrow money from competing nations to simply distribute it throughout the world in an attempt to create profitable foreign relations, especially when those relations benefit multinational corporations. Our foreign policy is hardly based on our courtier’s well being, we are going bankrupt and the world hates us!

While I would like to say that I uniformly oppose all welfare, if forced to make a choice, I choose welfare for American citizens before welfare that benefits multinational corporations and foreign countries. America has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. We need to stop spending money oversees donating and propping up dictatorships and puppet governments. We need to stop funding both sides of every conflict in the world, afterward providing humanitarian aid. We need to stop bailing out corporations and start repealing regulations that limit small businesses competition in the marketplace. Once we have done all this, then and only then is it logical to address our broken health care system, and the system we have created that perpetuates governmental dependency. Local welfare is a problem and it is a problem that can be best addressed by encouraging social interaction and civic involvement. We must restore power to local governments, empowering the citizens of their local communities.

Grassroots Revolt Against GOP Elitism

By Matthew Hayward In the complex arena of political strategy, even those who occupy the highest echelons of power can falter, demonstrating a profound disconnect between their strategic intentions and operational execution. The recent failure to secure the endorsement for their preferred candidate, Dave Reichert, is not merely a setback; it is a revealing exposé of the grave strategic missteps at the heart of the Republican party's establishment in Washington State. These seasoned campaigners, these stewards of conservative strategy, have evidently underestimated the critical importance of grassroots engagement. While I acknowledge the logic behind promoting an established politician strategically positioned geographically and perceived as moderate in our swing state—a strategy driven by considerations of electability, which admittedly has its merits—the incessant focus on this argument and complete lack of any meaningful engagement and education has alienated the grassroots yet a...

The Heavy Toll of Reclaiming Freedom

By Matthew Hayward The struggle for freedom has been a recurring act in the grand theater of human history. Yet, there is a philosophical argument that once freedoms are lost, they are irretrievably gone. This perspective, while disheartening, merits exploration. It's a chilling echo of the words of the trailblazing libertarian Claire Wolfe, "America is at that awkward stage; it's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards." The first act in this tragic play is the rise of technology. As we advance technologically, the tools of distraction become more potent. The Roman Coliseum has been replaced by the smartphone, a device that can pacify and distract with unprecedented efficiency. This technological pacification, while seemingly benign, has a sinister side. It diverts attention from the erosion of freedoms, making it easier for those in power to chip away at our liberties unnoticed. Consider the pervasive surveillance facilitated by our ...

The Quiet Surrender of Liberty

By Matthew Hayward The slow poison of complacency is the death of the fighting spirit. History is filled with examples of once-free people who gradually surrendered their liberty, not in a single stroke but through a series of quiet concessions. Tyranny often doesn’t arrive with the sound of thunder; it creeps in like a thief in the night, taking advantage of human complacency. The most maddening aspect of this process is not the power-hungry forces behind it, it is the passive, apathetic acceptance by the very people it seeks to control. Complacency is the death knell of liberty. It dulls the senses, erodes vigilance, and normalizes oppression over time. What once sparked outrage and resistance becomes routine, accepted as the new normal. The body scanners at TSA checkpoints, the Patriot Act, the ever-expanding surveillance state, each started with public protests and fiery debates. Now, these violations of privacy and freedom are woven into the fabric of everyday life. Why do pe...
