I know many Americans are chomping at the bit to turn our entire economy over to a bunch of coastal blue city hipsters and college professors, along with all our money and our personal freedom, because of a dubious moral panic over future weather, but I’d like to suggest a better idea. I call it the Red, White and Blue New Deal, and it’s a little different than the proposed Green New Deal that seems to benefit only virtue signaling limo libs, crony capitalists, and aspiring commissars. The Red, White and Blue New Deal would, instead, be directed at benefiting Normal Americans – you know, those people who built our country, feed it, fuel it and defend it. People like you and me. So, here it is. All of it:
Support your own damn self and leave me the hell alone.

That kind of simplicity has appeal. I have been pondering of late, as I listen to some other empty headed animal food trough wiper bemoaning inequality, is what percentage of the US population is not capable of making their own way in the world.
One group might be the ones with the 10-20% lowest IQ. One group might be addicts. One group might be injured/ill or genetic anomaly. One group might be the mentally ill. In the ideal these folks would be cared for by their families or a charitable effort, but most of us now think that's too much of a burden to place on so few.
How many of us are a net economic loss (we produce less than we consume)? What percent of us are carried by the wealthy?
