Is the Right-Wing's End Game A Sinister Depopulation Plot? [View all]

Today, I'm reading that Louisiana is not going to support mass vaccinations any longer. Now, that seemed rather stupid to me, so I thought about it. Who would that affect most. Not the wealthy. Not the middle class. Both of those can afford to haul their little kiddies to the doctors office and get them vaccinated against diseases that have been almost eradicated through vaccination programs. So, their precious offspring would be OK. It would just be the po'folks' children getting sick and maybe dying. That would the the logical impact from that proposal, wouldn't it?

How about health insurance? It's expensive, no matter how it is delivered. With Medicaid and Medicare, the poor and the elderly get insured and can get care. Without those benefits, however, care would be spotty and hard to find. But, I'm hearing the Right talking about big cuts in those programs. Once again, the wealthy and the better-off middle class folks would be able to afford insurance and would usually recover from most common illnesses. Again, though, the old and the poor folks would be hard pressed to get the care they need. Without insurance and support for costly medications, their death rate would go up, wouldn't it?

Poor folks have gotten the idea, somehow, that they can move their way into the more affluent classes in the good old USA. I mean, we send them to school for 12 years and loan them money to get a higher education, so they can compete with the real Americans who have privilege built into their lives. Everyone here can dream of being like their betters. You can own a home, drive a decent car, dress your children like all the other children. The society will help you along the way. Well, the Right isn't so sure that's such a good idea. What if they crippled the education system to prevent the youngsters born to less desirable people from learning? Wouldn't they be willing to work for less money so they could eat? Maybe so. I mean, even Jesus said, "The poor you shall have with you always." There it is, I suppose.

Then there are all of those immigrants flocking to America. They want to come here and get a part of our way of life. They want it so much that they'll do the dirty, hard jobs for less pay than other folks will. Isn't that keeping real Americans from talking all of those low-paying, back-breaking jobs. If we didn't have all of those foreign-language-speaking strangers to take those jobs, that would help the poor Americans find work so they could eat and keep making babies to replace themselves, right. Maybe we should stop making it easy for migrants to come here, the Right thinks. Maybe we can just shut everything down and keep things as they once were.

That's what I think I'm seeing right now. Looks to me like the hard right wants fewer people in this country, overall, and more of those people to be doing what they're told to do. Maybe they should not expect so much and be glad of whatever those who are among the "chosen" are willing to give them for their labors.

Yeah. I think maybe the Right Wingers are looking for a lower population here, and a poorer population.

Sure looks like that to me.
