American Homeless Land Model Banner

by Kenneth Churchill- Page 16
        Laws that once fed labor to fuel the Industrial Revolution now cause a reactionary backlash to a service economy in modern day America. The revolutionary aspect of creating an industrial nation is long since over. Today we are well established in both industry and abundant labor. To abolish the reactionary laws, which are no longer necessary, will bring greater equality to those alive today, especially the homeless. This action will require an attitude of clemency, for the homeless will never measure up to our rigorous expectations. When we crack the whip, they no longer jump, preferring to pile up on city street corners, passive agressively begging for alms and nomadically moving along their ways.


        Historically, the industrial ruling class has held a long-standing romance to the value that the poor should own nothing. They have always been willing to finance large amounts of money in social wage bribes to keep it that way (welfare, unemployment, etc., the worker pays the bribe). This is how they have remained in control. Without bribes, the underclass becomes unmanageable. In this manner, the ruling class owns everything so long as the poor own nothing (especially land). The ruling class controls the government by financing them to keep them in power, forcing them to order the middle class to pay off the poor or join them in poverty.


        This sequence of events once provided labor to the Industrial Revolution. Today, it only causes deficit expenditure. Tired reactionary laws are presently too expensive to keep. They cause the Shelter and Welfare Hotel Systems to be needed. Giving land rights to the homeless can ease the problems and total cost.
