Drain on the Economy

economic slavery

Economic Slavery is the use of one or more of the three pillars (Welfare, Public Housing, and Eugenics) to prevent any group of people from realizing the American dream of self-sufficiency.

Requiring that mothers be unmarried to receive welfare is one of the three pillars of Economic Slavery.
That most abortion clinics are located next to areas with high welfare populations to limit their population growth is one of the three pillars of Economic Slavery.
