Dee Perez-Scott: The Irresponsible Underclass and the Ever-present Illegal Aliens are Major Problems in the U.S.

Much has been written about the Underclass, since Charles Murray invented the term for the ethnically distinct group of under achievers and low earners in the USA who, he alleged, were disaffected from society, supported mostly by welfare benefits and semi-mired in crime. Conceptually and in reality this included the illegal aliens who flood the American labor market depressing wages and displacing those citizens on the lowest rungs of the economic ladder. The right correctly blames excessive public spending on a workshy social basement group and illegal aliens who: (1) cynically exploit the welfare system, (2) create the huge budget it commands, and (3) who vote mostly for the Democrat candidates who support and work to expand that welfare system. These Democrats also look the other way when it comes to real immigration reform that would enable the U.S. to stabilize its population.

It is undeniable that such analyses have significant veracity. Benefits-cheating is a genuine problem and illegal aliens can legally secure manifold benefits based on their instant citizen anchor-babies. This put a significant strain on the federal welfare and Medicaid budget. Those who support the indolent and the illegals in their endeavors share the culpability.
But those are only one aspect of the budget problem. Arguably the super rich have failed in their responsibility to their fellow citizens. Instead of acquiescing to more equitable tax-structure, they prefer to donate funds for edifices on which their names can be prominently displayed. Alternatively they set up billion dollar tax – exempt foundations to pursue their personal philanthropic interests abroad instead of focusing on U.S. citizens in need of educational and other forms of assistance to enable them to climb out of poverty. If the federal government denies funding for family planning, private funds must be forthcoming to fill the void and take a step toward a stable population.
We have now entered an age when it is the divisive and damaging effects of a political party that panders to the poor and formerly powerless to assure their election and re-election. That is the sole purpose of organizations like ACORN and La Raza that seek to register the poor and the indigent to vote so that unaffordable welfare programs can be expanded to buy more votes.

This pampered poor are connected those who decide how taxes are to be spent. They are not hard to identify by their votes in the Congress. And it’s not just the poor. Unions are also anxious to feed at the public trough in every way they can. In the State of Wisconsin, unions especially the public employee unions, seek to recall the governor who had taken steps to balance the budget and deny the unions’ excessive demands that helped create the deficits allowed by his predecessor.

Key representatives of the amoral and isolated public employee unions are working the state from border to border trying to convince the electorate to give the governor the ax while they continue to deliver poor value for the money extracted from the taxpayers.
