And the wellfare industry. The more you redistribute from the haves to the have-nots, the more have-nots you get. The more you "fight" poverty, the poor people you get. A surrounding ecospystem of helping, managing and else concerne dpeople emerges. They want to be paid, they want to get pensions. Soon, like with any bureaucracy, the interests of these organsiations and structure grow to the importance level of the social cases they were founded for to help them. And again some time later these organisations overrule the importance of the poor they are managing, the organisation's selfinterest becomes what the show is being run for, the poor, the socially dependent people are just the ore that gets mined and refined to keep the indtry running. So, the incentive is to keep people poor, to make them beleive they are poor, to define them as poor, and to push them into poverty. Or dependency. Or insert any social quality you want.


You see it everywhere. The higher the generla welath of our societies is, the more poor get counted - althoguh they are poor on ever and ever higher levels of metrial own "wealth". Many poor people today would have been extrenely well-situated people less than 100 years ago. The poor 100 years ago were much better off than the poor before the industrial revolution.



Then the problem of attracting foreigners. The more social you are, the more welcoming you are, the more caring yo are, the kindier oyu are - the more will come, right because of this behaviour of yours. You cannot talk reasonably about keeping migration down if being so welcoming to it and if you even allow yourself getting abused by foreigners wanting stuff from you, and you think you have the duty to comply with somebody elses demand just because he raises it. This schizophrenia is especially popular here in the EU.



A very good, now dead, old-school correspondent and adventurer of French-German heritage, Peter Scholl-Latour, once said: "If f you invite half of Kalkutta, you do not help Kalkutta, but become yourself Kalkutta." Any questions...?
