ellare disease rampant

WITH APOLOGIES to Karl Marx, le( me say that a spec-
tre is haunting Canada, Il is the spectre of the Nanny State

in which welfare is «
heaven.

Mention that welfare has
become a racket instead of a nee-
essary crutch and the libcral cla-
que starts whining. It's all the
fault of the recession, they claim.

But that’s a half-truth. The fact
is that people are encouraged to
feed at the table of the Nanny
State, and the blame belongs to
politicians whose only answer to a
problem is to throw money at it.
Even if they don't have the
money.

Hence the NDP's coming tax
increases.

In an ironic reversion of Marx-
ism, left-wing politicians spend
their days dreaming up new ways
of screwing the workers. That’s
why welfare of all kinds has
become our biggest growth in-
dustry.

_ We spend billions every year in
a futile attempt to keep the In-
dians happy. They scream for
more and tell us what rotters we
are. .
We throw chunks of money at

immigrants frem Somalia and
other remote parts of the earth.
Medicare money is used to repair
the women’s tribally mutilated
sexual organs,

People who have messed up
their lives think we owe them a
living — hence the massive ‘‘single
mother’’ industry.

We present free lunches to kids
whose (mostly immigrant} zarents
are too dumb or too uncaring to
look after them.

The No Down Payment Party
plans to drop another half billion
bucks into the welfare pot.

-  Scrounging has become an easy

‘art, and its practitioners are en-
couraged not only to ‘ake a free
lunch but also a free dinner, free /
medicare, free denticare and free
renticare. ;

Winos, drug addicts and
derelicts have been promoted and
are now called ‘‘the homeless,’”’

peared in North and West Van-

couver courts: recently

Before Judge Doug Campbell in
Novzih Vancouver provincial court

: on Feb. 8:

_ Robert: Benjamin Severy, 21, of
Vancouver, received 12. months’
probation after he pleaded guilty
to stealing an automobile ‘worth
more than $1,000 and wilfully

ON THE OTHER HAND

Welfare ‘has become a well-
dressed foolish idea, That's why
we have over 313,000 on the rolls
in B.C. with more to come.

Cheats abound and any attempt
to bring order out of chaos brings
tears to the eyes of the media.

We even have the professional
poor, coniplete with a lobby
group called End Legislated
Poverty (ELP). But it should be
called NELP, meaning *lo End to
Legislated Poverty.

The Socreds madea small effort
to crack down. Mothers on .
assistance were told to look for
work when their youngest child
turned six months. But that
brought a spate of horror
headlines like ‘‘Welfare Moms
Frightened.”’

Now they don’t have to look
for work untit the kid is 18.

We arc not alone in our
madness. In his book Paved With
Good Intentions, author Jared
Taylor tells us that the welfare
system in the U.S. has become
self-perpetuating and morally
destructive.

He deals particularly with the

damaging a light fixture belonging
to North Vancouver City on Dec.
8,.1992,

Severy is required to perform 75
hours of community work service
within three months of sentencing.
He is also required to pay up to
$100 restitution within one year of
sentencing.

On the same court day, Severy
pleaded guilty to failing to comply
with a probation order on Oct. 15

huge black underclass that the
Great Society was supposed to
raise from the mire, and shows
that throwing money at poverty
has failed.

That class provides the biggest
incidence of crime and the biggest
illegitimacy rate — 66%. The
Great Society ts a great joke.

“Tf an illiterate 16-year-old girl
drops out of high school to have a
baby," he writes, ‘“‘the govern-
ment will give her her own apart-
ment, Medicaid, and an indepen-
dent inconic.

“She can quit school and set up
house. She suddenly becomes an
adult, with all the trappings and
none of the responsibilities of one.

“Single mothers know they will
not starve, Their families know
they will not starve and that
someone else will pay for rent and
groceries, The men who fathered
the children know this, too.

“Welfare,”’ he continues, ‘does
not make people get pregnant,
drop out of school, or fail to get a
job. It simply removes the
penalties for doing so.”’

One statement of his should be
written in bright letters on the
walls of the B.C. legislature.

“The family is no longer bio-

‘logically necessary. The govern-

ment is their family.’’

In Canada we spend, propor-
tionately, two to three times as
much on social programs as does
the U.S.

The welfare disease is rampant
in our drifting Western world, In
the U.K., 20,000 bums who
thought it would be nice to spend
a few days camping on farmers’
land were followed by officials
handing out their welfare cheques.

In what used to be Marx’s
model state of East Germany the
illegitimacy rate was triple that of
West Germany because its women
could depend on Nanny.

In Canada, the sky fatis when it
is suggested that people who quit
their jobs voluntarily should not
be entitled to UI. ;
