Our lion-eat-gazelle economic system known as capitalism requires that there be an ideal rate of unemployment. I believe this rates hovers around 5% of the American population - meaning that there should always be 5% of the population who live below the poverty line and are looking for full-time work (this does not include those who are not, or have given up, looking for full-time work - you'd need to add about another 10% to that number - as there are roughly 50 million people in poverty in the US). There must always be a pool of people out of work for employers to pull from in order for the economy (under capitalism) to remain stable. If there are more jobs than there are workers to fill those jobs, then employers will have to offer very high salaries just to retain the employees they have - which would require them to exponentially raise the prices of their goods and services to cover those salaries - which would inflate the dollar (turning a $1 pound of sugar into a $20 pound of sugar overnight) causing the economy to fluctuate rapidly and collapse.
The ideal rate of unemployment could be also be called, "the ideal rate of slums and ghettos", or "the ideal rate of robberies", "the ideal rate of prostitutes", or "the ideal rate of police officers needed to quell violence", or "the ideal rate of protests due to police officers killing unarmed poor people".
I remember watching an episode of Supergirl on TV where there were these 2 guys who robbed a bank. Supergirl came flying out of the sky, stopped the robbers, and had a look of pride of on her face. I just simply rolled my eyes. It is true that no one likes to be robbed. But it is also true that no one robs for no reason. No one living comfortably grabs a gun, puts on a mask, and demand money from other people. 50 million poor people require a lot of cops and Supergirls to quell the outbursts and violence that IS GOING to take place. Judges will then send those people away to some jail cell to punish them for what they've done - as if they really had much choice in the matter - since no poor person has ever willingly laid down in some ditch somewhere and died with dignity. No poor person has ever willingly become a living sacrifice for capitalism - so it is enforced; enforced by all levels of government, enforced by the police, and enforced by the judges. The poor must rob and therefore, they must go to jail. There must always be a pool of out-of-workers, and if that means you must lose your job for the sake of the economy, then so be it.
People often judge what they don't fully understand, and the victim is condemned (by both "the Lord" and man).
