“Unless you’re all the way feral, you’re either family or you’re livestock. It makes a difference.”
Who might you suppose are the costliest beneficiaries of the ever-so-benevolent welfare-state? It turns out that it’s people clinging just this side of death’s door, people within months – but not just days – of dying.
A country has citizens, but a welfare-state just has dependents. Some subjects are capable of warfare, others of clerical work, but everyone is ultimately just a wide-open mouth and an oscillating rectum. Money is always a problem – under every form of Marxism, the looting goes up as the productivity goes down – so shedding costs is always a priority.
When first I heard that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was sending infected patients back into nursing homes, my instant assumption was that his motive was mass murder for budgetary purposes. Whether or not the virus was intended to kill the elderly, it did so perfectly, anyway.
Cuomo’s crimes were replicated in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Michigan – at a minimum – all palpable mass murders committed to shed the welfare-state of promises everybody knows it cannot keep.
As we should expect by now, these murders will not be prosecuted – nor even investigated.
Why is that? So they can be repeated, of course.
