The [[Netherlands]] is one of the richest countries in the world and it has a generous social safety net.

But 7 million people out of their 17 million person population live on low incomes.

And why are those 7 million people in the Netherlands living on low incomes?

Tilsburg University stats:
{{Cquote|Although the Netherlands is one of the richest countries in Europe, there is poverty here, too. Research by the Netherlands Institute for Social Research (SCP) and Statistics Netherlands (CBS) shows that single-parent families, people with a non-Western background, welfare recipients, and single people under the age of 65 have a high risk of severe poverty. Poverty manifests itself in (very) limited financial resources, social exclusion, health problems, and limited access to education.

In 2018, 584,000 of the nearly 7.4 million households had to live on low incomes. This was as many as in the previous year.<ref>[https://www.tilburguniversity.edu/campus/studium-generale/introducing-nl-poverty#:~:text=Although%20the%20Netherlands%20is%20one,there%20is%20poverty%20here%2C%20too.&text=Poverty%20manifests%20itself%20in%20(very,to%20live%20on%20low%20incomes. Introducing the Netherlands: Poverty]</ref>}}

In 2019, the Netherlands had a population of 17.28 million people. 

So approximately 43% of the Netherland's population live on low incomes. Mr. Leftist, one thing for certain, the [[Nordic]] countries such as the Netherlands are not a land of milk and honey for people unwilling to study and work hard.

If you are counting on the world's social welfare systems to get you out of the low-income situation, it is not a smart bet - especially since the developed world is now facing aging populations.

The bottom line Mr. [[Leftism|Leftist]]: The rich aren't going to bail you out. Get off your butt! And marry before you have sex!

I trust this clarifies matters for you. Go forth and work. Godspeed.

== The national debt and unfunded liabilities of the United States, U.S. military spending and a potential global depression ==
The [[National debt of the United States|U.S. national debt of the United States]] is the amount of [[money]] the [[United States]] [[Federal government]] owes various creditors due to [[deficit spending]].  

As of December 2021, the national debt of the United States is about $31 trillion. In December of 2021, that was about  $96,371 per American.<ref>[https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/585679-you-owe-more-than-500000-and-counting/ You owe more than $500,000 — and counting], The Hill,  12/14/21</ref>  

In addition, American taxpayers have been paying into the USA retirement program [[Social Security]] and its medical program for seniors called [[Medicare]] for decades.  The Social Security and Medicare programs are now unfunded liabilities. If one combines the United States national debt with the unfunded liabilities of Social Security and Medicare, each American owes more than $500,000.<ref>[https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/585679-you-owe-more-than-500000-and-counting/ You owe more than $500,000 — and counting], The Hill,  12/14/21</ref>  Many USA taxpayers will be unable to collect the amount they put in Social Security and Medicare by the time they need it because the programs will be cut back by then. In all likelihood, the Social Security and Medicare programs will become [[Means Test|means tested]]. See: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPjrFjAxwlw Prof. Antony Davies: 10 Myths About Government Debt]

The [[military-industrial complex]] is very influential as far as U.S. national politics. The [[United States]] spends a ton on its military and lately, it has gotten involved in too many very expensive and pointless wars like the ones in [[Iraq]] and [[Afghanistan]].  

America can no longer afford to be the world's policeman. America spends about 7 to 8 times the military budgets of the 7 biggest militaries of the world combined (see: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCpCA8Rz-PY Why America’s Defense Budget Is Bigger Than You Think]).  America has too much debt and unfunded liabilities which many Americans will find out in about 10-20 years when their government programs for the elderly are cut back and/or the young have a lot of money taken from their paychecks. 

If America has another [[Great Depression]] due to its massive national debt, unfunded liabilities and massive military spending, it will affect the whole world and there probably will be a worldwide [[Depression (economics)|economic depression]] which would hurt a lot of people - especially the poor countries of the world. How likely is a future global economic depression?

Mr. American Leftist, I certainly hope that you do not think that the United States government is going to be your economic [[messiah]].
[[File:Debt per GDP USA picture.jpg|270px|center|thumb|Under President [[Obama]], the National debt surpassed 106% of [[Gross Domestic Product]] ([[GDP]]).

<br />
Under President [[Donald Trump]], the U.S. Government sent hundreds of billions to private citizens to ensure the economy would not suffer the shutdown costs of losing momentum during the lockdowns prescribed by epidemiologists for the global Wuhan Virus pandemic.  By September 2020, the unemployment rate had recovered to no worse than the level during the Obama/Biden Administration in September 2012, and the Congressional Budget Office called the measure successful.  ]]

The article "The Surprising Discovery About Those Colonialist, Proselytizing Missionaries" published in ''Christianity Today'' notes:
{{Cquote|In his fifth year of graduate school, Woodberry created a statistical model that could test the connection between missionary work and the health of nations. He and a few research assistants spent two years coding data and refining their methods. They hoped to compute the lasting effect of missionaries, on average, worldwide...

One morning, in a windowless, dusty computer lab lit by fluorescent bulbs, Woodberry ran the first big test. After he finished prepping the statistical program on his computer, he clicked "Enter" and then leaned forward to read the results.

"I was shocked," says Woodberry. "It was like an atomic bomb. The impact of missions on global democracy was huge. I kept adding variables to the model—factors that people had been studying and writing about for the past 40 years—and they all got wiped out. It was amazing. I knew, then, I was on to something really important."

Woodberry already had historical proof that missionaries had educated women and the poor, promoted widespread printing, led nationalist movements that empowered ordinary citizens, and fueled other key elements of democracy. Now the statistics were backing it up: Missionaries weren't just part of the picture. They were central to it...

Areas where Protestant missionaries had a significant presence in the past are on average more economically developed today, with comparatively better health, lower infant mortality, lower corruption, greater literacy, higher educational attainment (especially for women), and more robust membership in nongovernmental associations.

In short: Want a blossoming democracy today? The solution is simple—if you have a time machine: Send a 19th-century missionary...

...at a conference presentation in 2002, Woodberry got a break. In the room sat Charles Harper Jr., then a vice president at the John Templeton Foundation, which was actively funding research on religion and social change. (Its grant recipients have included Christianity Today.) Three years later, Woodberry received half a million dollars from the foundation's Spiritual Capital Project, hired almost 50 research assistants, and set up a huge database project at the University of Texas, where he had taken a position in the sociology department. The team spent years amassing more statistical data and doing more historical analyses, further confirming his theory.

...Woodberry's historical and statistical work has finally captured glowing attention. A summation of his 14 years of research—published in 2012 in the American Political Science Review, the discipline's top journal—has won four major awards, including the prestigious Luebbert Article Award for best article in comparative politics. Its startling title: "The Missionary Roots of Liberal Democracy."

...over a dozen studies have confirmed Woodberry's findings. The growing body of research is beginning to change the way scholars, aid workers, and economists think about democracy and development.<ref>Christianity Today, [https://archive.is/cDMnA The Surprising Discovery About Those Colonialist, Proselytizing Missionaries], January 8, 2014</ref>}}

== Welfare, the USA and the slave mentality ==

The article ''Today’s Slave Mentality – An interesting theory of how people behave in this country'' indicates about the U.S. welfare system:
{{Cquote|The slave mentality is still very much among us. A class of people have emerged in this country who put forth minimal effort knowing the master will take care of them (the government). As more and more people become addicted to entitlements, they become more apathetic and less likely to work. As an example, let’s consider the American Indian where we have been spending in excess of $2.6 billion annually (1) over the last few years for such things as health care, education, public safety, housing, and rural development. Despite this huge cash infusion over an extended period of time, only 25% are employed, and they suffer from the highest poverty rate and lowest life expectancy in the country. The point is, when you become a ward of the state and such amenities are guaranteed to you, there is a natural inclination for apathy to run rampant.

Those imbued with the slave mentality do not simply want something for nothing, they expect it. Whereas they are content to perform simple labor, they expect their master, the federal government, to provide for their housing, welfare, health care, and other amenities. This explains why entitlements have grown at an alarming rate in recent years and why such people have no problem with a massive government. They are mindful of the rules and regulations of the master, but have no true understanding of the concept of freedom which is nothing more than a catch-phrase of the government.

In contrast, those opposed to big government and actively work to sustain themselves relish freedom and truly understand the price of it in blood and sweat. They realize freedom encourages personal initiative to invent, innovate, discover, write, and create. They may either be successful or a failure, but they relish the opportunity to at least try. They are allowed to believe what they want, say what they want, go where they want, but most importantly they are allowed to be an entrepreneur with all of the risks and responsibilities involved. The slave mentality class doesn’t grasp this and shirks risk and responsibility, preferring the safety of the master instead.

The slave codes of today are implemented by the media who cleverly manipulates the people’s sense of right and wrong, thereby defining how they should think and act. As [[George Orwell]] correctly observed, “The people will believe what the media tells them they believe.” Political correctness is an obvious example of how the media influences the perceptions of people. In reality, the media is controlled by the government who orchestrates the messages to the masses. From this, the slaves steadfastly protect their master by savagely attacking his detractors, either physically or verbally. Such slaves are simple people who can be easily manipulated by the media.

For the slave mentality to flourish, government needs to grow and become more invasive in the lives of the people. Entitlements are the hallmark of the slaves, something they believe they deserve as opposed to earn; something the master will provide. To grasp the size of the people possessing the slave mentality, consider how [http://www.usgovernmentdebt.us/spending_chart_1960_2017USb_13s1li111lcn_40t the country’s Welfare has escalated since 1960]:

[[File:U.S. welfare expenditures 1960 to 2017.jpg|500px|center]]

So what exactly is the slave mentality? A person who is willing to become subservient to the government in exchange for basic creature comforts as opposed to earning it themselves. The slave unknowingly remains a prisoner and is not truly free. In reality, he/she does not understand freedom, nor do they want it for freedom requires hard work, risk, and responsibility, elements which they have been conditioned to avoid. Knowing this, the government master controls the people through simple bribery and uses the media to manipulate the perceptions of the masses.<ref>[https://www.newstalkflorida.com/featured/todays-slave-mentality-an-interesting-theory-of-how-people-behave-in-this-country/ Today’s Slave Mentality – An interesting theory of how people behave in this country.]</ref>}}

Who is most responsible for a person's health? 

In 2020, Britain's eminent medical journal ''Lancet'' reported:
{{Cquote|A substantial proportion of poor health in populations is preventable. Previous work from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study suggests that nearly half of all health burden in the USA is attributable to a list of 84 modifiable risk factors. Globally, it is also generally accepted that a quarter, or perhaps up to half, of all deaths fall into the category of preventable deaths, making illness that can at least theoretically be avoided an accepted part of our health accounting.

In The Lancet Public Health, Howard Bolnick and colleagues extend this logic in the US context and quantify the proportion of US health-care spending in 2016 that was due to preventable causes. They found that more than a quarter (27·0%, 95% uncertainty interval [UI] 25·7–28·4) of health-care spending was due to these preventable illnesses. The US health-care system is famously expensive: the USA spends 16·9% of its gross domestic product (GDP) on health care, twice the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development average of 8·8%. Therefore, in absolute terms, the sheer cost of these preventable illnesses is staggeringly high, estimated at US$730·4 billion (95% UI 694·6–768·5) in the USA alone in 2016. To put this figure into perspective, it is more than the 2019 GDP of 171 countries in the world, or all but the 19 richest countries. While this analysis is helpful to draw attention to the costs that the USA spends on diseases that it could avoid, it is also drawing attention to a status quo that we have long come to accept: a high proportion of illness and death is preventable, and a lot of money is spent on treatment because we do not do a particularly good job of preventing disease.<ref>[https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpub/article/PIIS2468-2667(20)30204-8/fulltext The cost of preventable disease in the USA] by Sandro Galea and Nason Maani, ''Lancet'', VOLUME 5, ISSUE 10, E513-E514, OCTOBER 01, 2020, DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S2468-2667(20)30204-8</ref>}} 

Americans spend too much on defense and they have been poor negotiators with NATO who do give their people universal healthcare as their defense budgets are lower (see: [https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-11-20/trump-s-nato-spending-demand-would-break-denmark-s-welfare-state Trump’s NATO Spending Demand Would Break Denmark’s Welfare State]). On top of this, America has an overweight and aging population and a huge national debt of $27 trillion dollars. 

And then there are the lobbyists - especially corporate lobbyists.  When Obama ran won in 2008, bankers were among his biggest contributors (see: [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/nov/08/barackobama-wallstreet-bankers-campaign-donations-goldmansachs Bankers and academics at top of Obama's donor list in 2008], ''The Guardian''). Are bankers going to be very generous as far as wanting to provide generous healthcare to Americans? No. And that is why ObamaCare was a bad deal for many people - especially with its mandate (which the Republicans got revoked).

Aging populations demand more healthcare<ref>[https://www.ajmc.com/view/aging-population-continuing-to-drive-national-health-spending-report-says Aging populations continue to drive healthcare]</ref> and when there is increased [[demand]], all other things being equal, [[price]]s go up.  It's simple [[economics]]. And judging by the projected global shortage of nurses, it does not appear as if supply will keep with demand in the healthcare sector. 

I don't expect Democrats to ever deliver on great healthcare for Americans. And Europe's healthcare system will get more strained as their population base ages as older people need more healthcare (see: [https://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/150781/Full%20version%20all%20presentations.pdf European Health Systems: unsustainable without reforms]). And aging populations aren't as productive economically because people retire early by historical standards in terms of how long they have left to live.

On May 6, 2022, the ''[[Washington Post]]'' [https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2022/05/06/ruth-bader-ginsburg-roe-wade/ reported] about the former SCOTUS judge [[Ruth Bader Ginsburg]] and the [[Roe vs. Wade]] U.S. Supreme Court case: "Ginsburg, who died in 2020, criticized the 7-to-2 decision both before and after she joined the high court. She argued that it would have been better to take a more incremental approach to legalizing abortion, rather than the nationwide ruling in Roe that invalidated dozens of state antiabortion laws. She suggested a ruling protecting abortion rights would have been more durable if it had been based on the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution — in other words, if it had focused on gender equality rather than the right to privacy that the justices highlighted."

'''Questions:''' Where does the U.S. Constitution mention gender equality? If it doesn't mention gender equality, then why wasn't Ruther Bader Ginsberg advocating for a constitutional amendment so she could legally rule on such a matter? Ginsberg was a judge. She was not a legislator. There was the [[Equal Rights Amendment]] to the [[U.S. Constitution]], but it never passed. [[Phyllis Schlafly]] was very effective as far as her opposition of the Equal Rights Amendment. Also, do you think that Ruth Bader Ginsberg was right that the so-called right to privacy in the U.S. Constitution was a less than optimal legal foundation for Roe vs. Wade?
