The going complaint among \u201cAmerican tax-payers\u201d is that they resent having to support welfare recipients out of their hard-earned dollars and the welfare budget should be little or nothing, and rightly so, no country should have a system to support a permanent underclass. Yet, no one complains about having to support America\u2019s overblown prison population on their tax dollars, especially when the poor, Blacks, and other minorities comprise a significant population of the prison system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talk about free meals, housing, and work programs, basically, some prison inmates live better lives than some people in free society. Not only has America created a permanent underclass of poverty-stricken welfare recipients, but they have also manufactured and marketed a permanent criminal underclass that in recent years has become a base for corporate operation, i.e. legalized corporate slavery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They complain about immigrants taking jobs and getting free welfare, healthcare and other benefits on the America tax-payers dime, (which is not true), but they are ok paying much more to incarcerate minorities other than helping them find a better life. The hypocrisy is astounding and the hate is real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn total, roughly 1.9 million people are incarcerated in the United States<\/a><\/strong>, 803,000 people are on parole, and a staggering 2.9 million people are on probation, “no other society in human history has imprisoned so many of its own citizens.” The figures show that the United States has locked up more people than any other country: a half million more than China, which has a population five times greater than the U.S. Statistics reveal that the United States holds 25% of the world\u2019s prison population, but only 5% of the world\u2019s people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
