I like your point a lot. That's an interesting angle. It's like a vicious cycle that expels anyone who could actually make a dent in some good way. And not only that, but it's psychologically incentivizing by indoctrinating people into a welfare mindset right off the bat through the foster care system. It creates people who are eternally dependent on the government for their daily meal with few exception. If a person is that dependent on the state will they be a dissident and bite the hand that feeds them? Or will they be a willing agent of the state or at least a willing proletariat to the state to ensure their survival since that is all they know. Most likely the latter which has been shown time and time again throughout history. This is such an old formula that is used over and over again by despots and oligarchical regimes and somehow people fail to see it even in the, allegedly, most advanced countries of their time. This time being the US. And I say allegedly because that is now very easily debatable thanks to the same folks at the top. Edward Bernays, Julian Huxley and their ilk. And in fact, speaking of Julian Huxley, CPS work under the UN's Convention On The Rights of The Child. @richq11 writes a lot of great material about that topic. Check him out too if this subject interests you. Good ole UNICEF. Good ole UN hah. But seriously, you bring some really good and important points to the table. That topic alone is article worthy.
