Living in a major city is a privilege, not a right: Homeless People in Toronto ruining upper-class neighborhoods – August 16, 2020,
There is one major group of people that I put ahead of the homeless when it comes to the people I don’t think should be living in major Canadian cities and it’s the people on welfare. First and foremost what I’m writing about in this article will most likely never happen, but I think it should be the norm in every Canadian city.
I read about it all the time, housing for the power, homes for the homeless, free crack, and heroin for drug abusers. I’m against all of these programs, but at the very least if you’re going to implement them, but they scatter them outside of a major city so they can be properly case studied in a safe rural area.
Yes, I said rural area, the problem with homeless and welfare recipients living in major cities is that they don’t contribute to the city and they become a major strain on tax collection. Furthermore, it sends the wrong message when people on welfare and the homeless are entitled to similar benefits as those of us working and paying taxes to hold the city together.
There should be a penalty box, for not working, now, the number one reason why people don’t work is that the government gives them an excuse not to work with the minimum wage law. If people on welfare had jobs but couldn’t pay their rent because their paychecks were not enough, I’d be all for the consideration of welfare subsidies, preferably administered by the private sector, however, the minimum wage law gives people an excuse not to work.
The minimum wage law is also a job-killing law because fewer businesses exist and this leads to a lot of people being idle for most of their working years, thereby often making them unproductive during their later years, and feeling a sense of entitlement when they become accustomed to being unproductive members of society.
If you believe your labour is worth a certain amount of dollars, do not work for anything less than you’re worth, but the government wage-fixing wages creates all sorts of distortions in the free market, which creates an atmosphere that makes people unproductive.
Unproductive people go on drugs and commit crimes, unproductive people in time find excuses for themselves to remain on welfare and productive people bankrupt a city because working humans keep major cities afloat, we all need each other to be productive to keep this city moving and unproductive people who are rewarded will find more and more ways to be unproductive.
Now, although the story below talks about the homeless, in my opinion, the real problem is the people on welfare, the so-called-refugees Justin Trudeau has allowed across our borders who are living in better conditions via our welfare system than Canada’s homeless.
Canada’s homeless could have easily been housed in the places the called refugees are being housed, but because they don’t vote they won’t be prioritized, because after all, our Federal leaders want to make sure they look good on the Global stage right? So Welfare again takes precedence over mental health.
Now, I personally think living in a big city is the last thing you want for a drug abuser with mental health issues, I think if a person is on drugs you don’t want them around a lot of people and a lot of children. But again, all of this revolves around welfare, f you make the decision not to work, you shouldn’t be rewarded with comfortable living a major city.
If let’s say the people want a minimum wage law, well, then the people are saying that certain jobs can’t exist and therefore only the best and brightest can live in the major cities. Because it takes a lot of money to maintain the infustucture of a major city and if you’re an adult and you’re not contributing, you need to be in an area where you’re less of a burden.
I personally believe when people feel like it’s a privilege to live in a major city, they’ll work harder. It’s when they believe that they can game the system, that’s when people find reasons to be unproductive. The homeless are merely trying to game the system, but the homeless usually aren’t receiving a welfare check every month for doing nothing.
I don’t think the government should be accommodating the homeless, but I also don’t think the government of any major city should be accommodating any people on welfare. Living or SQUATTING in a major city is a privilege not a right!
It’s greedy to imagine that while others work and you don’t work that you should be entitled to the same or more resources than they’re entitled too! That’s the worst type of greed in my opinion!
