Was the New Deal implemented during the 1930s by Roosevelt the greatest blunder of all time?
It effectively conditioned millions of people to think that government handouts was their birth right.

Veeky Forums isn't a substitute for schooling. some effort has to be made on the part of the posters to educate themselves. OP is posting from such a pitiful dearth of knowledge that it's a waste to try and educate him in the limited medium of a Veeky Forums post.
people aren't willing to engage your post seriously because you made it quite clear that you're an idiot who isn't worth the effort.
when you are so uneducated and stupid and lack very basic information theres nothing to talk about, you have your retarded view and you wont understand anything why its retarded

Do you seriously believe the new deal is to blame for this? This wasn't the first time any government gave out handouts or anything. Idiots energized by populist politicians will always fail the need for budget cuts and think the government is an unlimited money supply, and if the ministers would just lower their salaries everyone could have free acces to the most expensive healthcare. The new deal is not to blame for people being selfish idiots.
Will my post be this good when I go to grad school?

>The poor, unable to support themselves, are maintained by an assessment on the tithable persons in their parish. This assessment is levied and administered by twelve persons in each parish, called vestrymen, originally chosen by the housekeepers of the parish…. These are usually the most discreet farmers, so distributed through their parish, that every part of it may be under the immediate eye of some one of them. They are well acquainted with the details and economy of private life, and they find sufficient inducements to execute their charge well, in their philanthropy, in the approbation of their neighbors, and the distinction which that gives them. The poor who have neither property, friends, nor strength to labor, are boarded in the houses of good farmers, to whom a stipulated sum is annually paid. To those who are able to help themselves a little, or have friends from whom they derive some succors, inadequate however to their full maintenance, supplementary aids are given, which enable them to live comfortably in their own houses, or in the houses of their friends. Vagabonds, without visible property or vocation, are placed in workhouses, where they are well clothed, fed, lodged, and made to labor. Nearly the same method of providing for the poor prevails through all our states; and from Savannah to Portsmouth you will seldom meet a beggar.

>inequality is so much worse under capitalism
It really is though. Everyone is wealthier overall, but the richest are richer than the poorest by a much bigger margin
Personally I'm ok with that because even the poorest in the west have it pretty good by the standards of all of history

22 posts and still no argument.
Veeky Forums sure has dropped in quality.

I provided a primary source showing that government assistance for the poor existed at the founding of the US. I'm not sure what more you could possibly want.
That assistance was charity, not government assistance, you stupid nigger
I see, you can't even fucking read.

B*smarck was the one who started the welfare state
Fine, have this intro from babbys first website, wikipedia.

All the civs we consider civilised had some form of welfare implemented, and in it's modern form, welfare dates to the 19th century(when it actually took the name welfare).

What kind of dishonest bullshit is this? Are you implying the quality of life for the working class during the Industrial revolution was anywhere near acceptable?
... and yet OP is the one claiming the quality of posts on Veeky Forums has worsened
There's different definitions of "surviving", obviously.
I'm not even going to make any moral appeals because I know you're an edgy cunt. A society that ignores it's poor will eventually crumble. You are just wasting potential and creating social unrest at the same time.
When the socialists instituted the welfare state in our country, the rich people and the Catholic Church were up in arms. Like, how dare you try to take care of the poor! A mere three decades later, lots of my colleagues at university come from the poorest family backgrounds. I'm a mathematician in training, for the record.

people have survived WITH social security for 1000s of years. your clan was your social security.
people have survived for 1000s of years by attacking those robber barons/pirates/plunderers that tried to exploit and enslave them and remove social security from them
you see, they used weapons and mob justice back then and the robber barons were less motivated due to the risks involved
The solution is not to help the poor, the solution is to import millions of violent illiterate third worlders and pay them to exist at the expense of the poor.
this is the only correct response
why hasnt this been posted this earlier?
from time immemorial, humans had all their needs provided for by their clan.
>Welfare entitlement is Roosevelt's fault
Can /pol/ leave already?
Kinda this, but you paint an adversarial relationship between peasant and King that really wasn't always there in the way it came to be after the big revolution
