How John LaBruzzo Wants To End Welfare Abuse
http://www.corrupt.org/news/labruzzo_and_corrupt_campaign_for_welfare_reforms
How can we get more people who rely on government to have fewer children who rely on government?
This was the question John LaBruzzo, Republican State Representative from Louisiana, posed in public media to provoke a debate around the function of welfare in a healthy society. Eventually LaBruzzo was removed from his position as Vice Chairman of the House Health and Welfare Committee.
Why was John LaBruzzo deemed so dangerous that he had to be removed? The answer is that he dared to express an inconvenient truth. Louisiana has one of the most widespread state welfare programs in the United States, and not coincidentally, one of the highest rates of teenage pregnancy; 20% higher than average. Statistics paint a bleak picture of welfare abusers with drug problems spanning generations. Louisiana is lagging behind the national average in terms of school dropouts, teen pregnancy, children in poverty without health insurance (nearly 10%), and lack of proficiency in reading and math.
Like every person defending an offensive truth in our society, LaBruzzo soon came to face the anger of the mob. What motivated him to declare what some consider a radical plan of eugenics was the parasitism seen after Hurricane Katrina:
“After this recent storm, we had some issues where these people were going into shelters and taking their cigarettes and welfare but didn’t have diapers or insulin for diabetic[s]they felt they were entitled to say, ‘Give me, give me.’ [They] didn’t want to set up cots or anything.”
LaBruzzo spoke for people who are tired of draining productive members of society with tax money in order to support people who chronically need the government to babysit them. As vice chairman of the Welfare Committee, he was in a unique leadership position to change welfare policy.
LaBruzzo offered some controversial solutions, such as offering $1,000 for recipients to be sterilized, and rewarding recipients without children. Fully aware of the fact that intelligent people have fewer children and later in life, LaBruzzo realized that this is the group we should be supporting. Throwing money at people who dont care about their own future or that of their community, LaBruzzo argued, is like feeding a pig with an open belly.
In a healthy society, LaBruzzos realizations would be law, rather than an offense. These issues need pragmatic solutions like those supported by LaBruzzo and CORRUPT.org.

Insurance Companies Confess in Court: “We Wouldn’t Pay a Dime” . . . unless sued!
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, insurance companies shifted wind damage claims to the National Flood Insurance Program that should have been covered by their own homeowners policies.
On June 9, 2009, the Mississippi Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the interpretation of the industrys anti-concurrent causation (ACC) clauses, which are buried deep inside homeowners insurance policies. The attorney for Nationwide, Christopher Landau, told the Supreme Court that Nationwide applies the ACC clause to exclude coverage of all damage caused by hurricane winds if subsequent flooding was sufficient to have caused the damage anyway.
In response to questioning, Landau answered that even if a house were 95 percent destroyed by winds before any flooding, Nationwide wouldnt pay a dime to the policyholder if the flooding was severe enough to have destroyed the house anyway.
Following this public admission in court, Rep. Gene Taylor (D-MS) explains how his proposed Multiple Peril Insurance Act solves this burdensome homeowner insurance crisis impacting Coastal Americans.
