April 15, 2020 - One of the core principles of statists (i.e., people who look to government to take care of people) is the concept of the “safety net”. It entails using the government to provide assistance to people to ensure that no one falls off the “high wire” of life and hits the ground and dies of starvation, illness, or any other such thing. Without a “safety net,” statists argue, people would be dying in the streets, alleys, and gutters of Amerika.
