I've spoken against this program ever since the idea was first floating out there. The premise behind it being sold to the public is that the government would provide money to bring everyone up to a minimum income level. It would simplify many programs and perhaps even save a lot of money. It may also help ensure that people don't fall through the cracks.
What they don't talk about is where this money comes from. As the state continues to decrease taxes from the rich, the burden moves to the middle class. There is a war on and the goal is to whip out the middle class to make two classes, rich and dependent.
I have many friends who feel guilty for working in the oil field, pipelines, etc. I told them that they are working for the beast. If they take that money and put it towards self-sufficiency, independence, food sovereignty, energy sovereignty, etc, then what they are doing is siphoning energy from the beast. In short, beating up the beast with its tail.
However, if they take that money and buy the big trucks, big homes, toys, etc, then they are feeding the beast and remaining dependent upon it.
I'm not going to petition the government to dismantle the guaranteed income program. What I'm going to do is petition the individuals who are benefiting from these programs and confront them on what they are doing with that money.
Are they going to continue being dependent children or are they going to take the opportunity to become independent adults? That is the choice we are all facing right now. The risk is, as Lyndsay has pointed out, if people choose to be dependent, then their lives are literally in the hands of the state.
How well does the state govern people, especially during a crises? Just look at what is going on in the US with the hurricanes, fires, floods, etc. They are not there to help people but to govern the crises and maintain order. Even here in Canada, police go door to door under the guise of looking for people, but in fact they use the opportunity to break into peoples homes and steal the guns!
The state is in big trouble. Building even more dependency on the state is dangerous and lives are at risk. It is time to use ween ourselves from these slave traps and find independence. If people need help to do it, then do what you must. But in the end, if anything happens the individual is always 100% responsible and accountable for their own life. If they lack the skills, tools and resources to provide for him / her self, then there is nobody to blame by the individual we see in the mirror each morning.
Lettuce turnip the beet!
By all means, please elaborate on the few points I made. I'd love to see/read the White Walking Feather version of this rant!
