NECESSATARIAN BULLSHIT [Re: First Choice Criterion]

[Michael A. Schoenfield]

Wow, what happened to such subversive concepts such as we are responsible
for the welfare for not only ourselves, but also for our neighbors? I
realize that the following concept is pure communalism, but as the old
saying goes it takes a village to successfully raise a child.

My people have been in this geographic place/country for thousands of years
and the success of my ancesters was dependent upon such concepts as mutual
welfare in a tribal society. Of course I am not pure American Indian, but we
have a letter from one of my ancesters dated in the earlky 1500s from Noca
Scotia. My people have fought in every war from the French-Indian Wars to
Vietnam and we gave to our society because of the concept of mutual welfare.
These are the concepts which helped not only to frame the Declaration of
Independence, but also the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

OK, so in the late 20th century we are going to say, to hell with those less
fortunate than ourselves and we will let them either starve or enter into
economic slavery. This is not the the USA that I both know and love. These
concepts belong in late French monarcy period(s), e.g., let them eat cake.
The interesting thing about all of this talk of welfare reform is that it is
directed to individual people who have not the skills nor physical well
being to be successful in the labor market. However, the vast majority
(billions of dollars) are spent on welfare -- for corporations. Why havn't
these so-called reformers gone after the big fish? Because they know that
our entire economy is dependent upon the largesse of government/society. Why
not give the individual the same welfare that we give to corporations? I
think that it would be a much better investment.
