I read this yesterday. This was David French defending the text cited in the OP, which was written by Kevin Williamson, who is probably one of the best writers NRO has.
I haven't been a supporter of Trump, but if it comes down to him vs Clinton, he's getting my vote.
At any rate, French's defense of this seems legit.
I don't see how this is any different than what conservatives have been saying for years - that an excessive welfare apparatus is an incentive to laziness and sloth.
So..why do you think many of these hard working, lower class conservatives have been forced to "the welfare apparatus"?
What happens when someone in another country is willing to work for less of a paycheck than you are? Or the enterprise where you work is no longer as productive as competition overseas?
Do you think that people like Donald Trump or the Koch brothers share the interests of the people who work for those enterprises or the people who own them?
