Can't educated population get a job and pay for their housing and food? Actually, they can and they do. These are able bodied thugs that are too lazy to get education and job, who enjoy free housing and food.

Well wars and being the world police is expensive, which is stereotypically associated with the right.

Ahh so why exactly did the OP attack education then?

And able bodied thugs? Really? I mean, lets ignore that the MAJORITY of people getting these benefits are either children, or not able bodied.

There is a big difference between educating, housing and feeding people and wasting money. Why is more money always the answer instead of going back to the drawing board to figure out why a particular program was unsuccessful? Perhaps it is easier to just throw more money at a problem than to admit your (politician) great idea wasn't so great after all.

A big chunk of the problem is the consequences of capitalism.....

Private sector profits (as a % of GDP) v Wages (as a % of GDP)




Most people getting free housing and food do work that are of age, righties can't seem to grasp that.

The "right wing" knows history very well to understand that high taxation kills productivity, jobs, quality of life, and even empires.
