Porky - Get a Job

This reminds me of the good samaritan story, ya know, the one about a guy who didnt help the half dead jewish man because he didn't have the money to do it and no good way of carrying him and there were others who were more violent who wouldn't approve of helping him and how he really would have gotten better help in his home town at half the cost and really it wasn't the samaritan's problem anyway.

What a classic that was.

Okay then, let's turn this argument around with your own logic then: The USA and a growing number of European states are low-trust, high-friction societies with increasingly hair-trigger and quick-to-violent-response political factions, increasingly frequent and bloody ideological altercations in the streets, increasingly poorly managed and wasteful social programs that are due to be bankrupted within the decade at the current rate of spending and are falling apart and letting people slip between the cracks, and with an ever shrinking job-pool that leaves the vulnerable at the mercy of exploitative entrepreneurs.

Most leftist I know will agree with that scathing breakdown of present-day atmosphere whole-heartedly. And yet they want to dunk undereducated and uprooted foreigners into this mess? Why? Don't you think you're putting them at risk of being chewed up and spat out by the system? You don't think that these people won't be the first to be rejected and put on the street when more programs start failing?

Don't you realize that adding more people to welfare is just gonna bankrupt the country faster and leave more people helpless and destitute when the institutes finally give out? Don't you think that throwing people from a fundamentalist honor culture into the current acidic political stew is a recipe for more violence?
