The Vicious Vortex of Palatably Promoting Poverty

The African-American population is disproportionately represented in the American prison system.

The African-American vote is also disproportionately in favor of Democratic candidates.

Democratic candidates are disproportionately in favor of dependency programs and the minimum wage law.

Dependency programs are disproportionately correlated with single-parent households.

Single-parent households are disproportionately associated with African-American families.

Adolescents of single-parent households are disproportionately associated with low household income, both of which are disproportionately connected with violent behavior, low academic achievement and low self-esteem.

Low academic achievement is disproportionately tied to low income.

The minimum wage law disproportionately affects the African-American teen who's helplessly subjected to unemployment and then remains hopelessly mired in low self-esteem and a burgeoning dependency system which accomplishes nothing in the way of cultivating marketable skills.

Individuals with low academic achievement, low self-esteem, violent behavior and low income are disproportionately represented in the American prison system.

African-American men are disproportionately represented in this system, which leaves their children to perpetually stave off this statistical threat into perpetuity. Left unabated, this is a threat condemning children to a series of detrimental outcomes, various forms of poverty measured not only in wealth but in character.

So it appears through this sequence of logic that the disproportionate outcomes have been widely driven by a disproportionate proclivity of the African-American demographic for public policy peddled by Democratic, or neo-liberal, candidates and officeholders.

The perpetual struggle of this group may then be attributed to a gross misunderstanding of public policies' effects on the world and, more specifically, their own demographic.

Into the Wild: An Economics Lesson

The Keynesian mantra, in its implications, has its roots in destruction rather than truth: “In the long run, we’re all dead.” If this is your guiding principle, we are destined to differ on matters of principle and timeline. While it is true that our fates intersect in death, that does not mean that we ought to condemn our heirs to that view: the view that our work on this planet ought only to serve ourselves, and that we ought only to bear in mind the consequences within our own lifetimes. The Keynesians, of course, prefer their outlook, as it serves their interests; it has the further benefit of appealing to other selfish people who have little interest in the future to which they'll ultimately condemn their heirs. After all, they'll be long gone by then. So, in the Keynesian view, the longterm prospects for the common currency, social stability, and personal liberty are not just irrelevant but inconvenient. In their view, regardless of the consequences, those in charge tod

Death by Socialism

“Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better". That is the title of an article from the World Economic Forum in November of 2016. The title is essentially socialism in a nutshell: no private property, no self-ownership, and no privacy, but somehow, they contend, life will be better. This is the budding trend in America, away from freedom and capitalism in favor of government and socialism; and the data bear this out. Decades after the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, socialism has reemerged as ungracefully as bellbottom jeans in the classroom and the collective conscience. According to a 2015 Reason-Rupe survey, 53 percent of Americans under 30 admit to having a favorable view of socialism. Likewise, a 2016 Gallup poll found that an astounding 69 percent of millennials say they would be willing to vote for a “socialist” candidate for president. For comparison's sake, roughly a third of their parents'

There's Always Another Tax: The Tragedy of the Public Park

In the San Francisco Bay Area, many residents work tirelessly throughout the year to pay tens of thousands of dollars in annual property taxes. In addition to this, they are charged an extra 10 percent on all expenses through local sales taxes. It doesn't stop there. In addition to their massive federal tax bill, the busy state of California capitalizes on the opportunity to seize another 10 percent through their own sizable state income taxes. But guess what! It doesn't stop there. No, no, no, no. In California, there's always another tax. After all of these taxes, which have all the while been reported to cover every nook and cranny of the utopian vision, the Bay Area resident is left to face yet an additional tax at the grocery store, this time on soda. The visionaries within government, and those who champion its warmhearted intentions, label this one the "soda tax," which unbelievably includes Gatorade, the preferred beverage of athletes
