Don't stay in bed, unless you can make money in bed. - George Burns

According to a recent study there are 744,313 disgusting degenerate bums living, shitting, pissing, and sleeping on our streets.  Surely these numbers will be lower in states which are dominated by liberals, and dole out generous portions of fabulous cash and prizes to anyone who needs them, right?  That’s what the lefties keep telling us, that social spending solves social problems.  Let’s take a look at the state-by-state breakdown to see the numbers in the five biggest states.

Calif. 170,270
Fla. 60,867
Mich. 26,124
N.Y. 61,094
Mich. 26,124
Texas 43,630

Interesting.  It’s almost like the more liberals there are the more bums there are.  How could that be?

Simple.  Bums are like animals.  Stray dogs will go where the food is, and so will bums.  Liberals = guilt = money = booze/drugs.  Liberals are to bums what the dumpster behind the butcher’s shop is to a stray dog, a goldmine of resources.  If you ever come to Los Angeles, go to Santa Monica and walk down Third Street Promenade.  There are bums EVERYWHERE, and this is in one of the most expensive areas of the city.  Why?  Simple, Santa Monica is populated almost entirely by guilty white liberals, people who are ashamed of their own success.  This guilt translates into the liberal acting like a virtual ATM for bums.

San Francisco’s system of generous benefits for any indigent scum who asked for them did nothing to solve the homeless problem.  In fact, it made it significantly worse.  But I don’t expect this glaringly obvious fact to get in the way of the ambitions of do-gooding lefties.  After all, the entire basis of their personal sense of self-esteem is getting the government to enact programs.  Why?  Because it removes the onus from narrow liberal shoulders to do something about the problem themselves.  So long as they support the government doing something, well, that’s the height of liberal “compassion.”

In Thomas Sowell’s famous words, liberalism is self-congratulation as a basis for social policy.
