Democrats Reject Work Ethic, Embrace Freeloaders

The Democratic Party used to call itself the party of working people and hail the "Dignity of work."

Now, Democrats want to guarantee people who choose not to work an income funded by the suckers who do the right thing by showing up for work, caring for their family, and paying taxes.

For working people, the monthly payments were merely an advance on their tax refunds-but parents who choose not to work have been getting no-strings money to support their nonworking lifestyle.

Using the pretext of pandemic relief, Democrats enacting the American Rescue Plan last March changed a feature of the tax code, the child tax credit available to adults who work and pay taxes, into a grant paid unconditionally and monthly to almost all adults with kids, whether they work or not.

Manchin objected to the unconditional monthly cash grants: "There's no work requirement whatsoever."

Welfare reform changed that, requiring parents to work or train for work in order to receive cash benefits.

Democrats tend to blame unemployment on racism or a rigged economy and argue that people deserve dignity, whether they choose to work or not.
