If really we want to create the authentic and legitimate democracy we need to establish in all of the countries of Latin America the Institution of Providence and Social Welfare.
Even though it is certain that the individual needs to become adapted to society also it is true that the society must become adapted to the individual. The Institution of Providence and Social Welfare exactly fulfills this valued human aim.
The state must be parents for the common people, the state must be less cruel, less merciless, less barbaric.
The Institution of Providence and Social Aid is destined to solve many problems that have given to our society a very ugly and painful appearance.
In a Latin American country we knew a poor schoolteacher’s case that in spite of having grown old working in her Professorship, when she was about to die was not retired.
She had educated new generations, she had become exhausted teaching . The salary of this poor laborer of the educational field was same as that of beggars.
The one and only thing which gives hope through an unhappy era is the possibility of achieving a very distant freedom, the longed for retirement someday, and certainly she achieved it on the eve of her death, when she was already throwing up blood through the nose; No doctor was able to save her, she was suffering from cancer.
If the Institutions of Providence and Social Welfare would have existed things would have been very different . Unfortunately the aforementioned institution is still just a future project. The business about retirement is dependent on the Institution of Providence and Social Welfare.
It is necessary to understand that the worker has the full right to rest and retirement. It is not fair to miserably exploit the worker, squeeze the sweat of youth out of him and then throw him out on the street.
The great statesman Albardi said :
“In a great political system they enjoy their share altogether, and each one enjoys the whole of the share.
Consequently the social interests must be arranged through the state within a symmetry of interests, so that they do not turn out to be infantile and rehearsed; This happens with the retirements, for some working people of the nation there are laws pertaining to retirement and they do not exist for others”.
If we want to ward off the horrible monster of communism in Latin America, we need true social justice.
It is absurd that the states provoke with their injustices strikes, organized obstruction of production, acts of violence, shouts of protest, etc., Etc., Etc.
The state was not created to create problems, the state was created in order to resolve problems.
In all the really civilized countries, or ones that presume to be civilized, the Institutions of Providence and Social Welfare must be founded.
That institution would solve with efficiency the problems of retirement, pensions, unemployment, incapacity for work, etc., Etc., Etc.
To create such an institution for providence and social welfare, money would be needed, and a lot of money, but fortunately the world is full of money, the crucial thing is to know how to distribute it wisely.
While it is true that there are many unfair taxes, it is also true that many fair taxes can be imposed.
If the head of the family has money to make a big party at home, it is also fair that he cooperate with a tax for the Social Security and Welfare Agency. He thus pays for the wakefulness that he provokes to his neighbors; It is good to know that everything in life costs.
The individual who has the habit of smoking, it is good that he pays for his habit, that he cooperates with a tax for the Social Security and Assistance Agency.
The drunkard who torments mankind with his drunkenness must pay the tax for his vice.
The unmarried man, since he does not even have woman, at the very least must cooperate with his tax for this institution. The hour has arrived to bring into being the stamp duty for the Institution of Providence and Social Welfare.
This stamp duty is to be in use on all transport tickets, whether for overland, for water or for air.
All letters, all documents, any sorts all certificate, should be able to carry this single stamp .
All theatrical tickets, cinemas, bullfighting, football, circus’, etc., Etc., must take this stamp
It is necessary for the people to learn that to have a good time, they can have a good time by cooperating with people, that it should no longer be no for the poor person. The people is necessary for me to have fun learn he can have fun to cooperate with people that no longer to no for the poor person.
They must impose a tax on the large companies, like insurance companies, credit-brokers, stockbrokers, etc., for the benefit of the Institutions of Providence and Social Welfare.
They must demand contribution of lotteries, tax required to go to the movies, frozen assets, etc would bring vast amounts to the income tax, taxes imposed on games should remain, on the horse-racing and motorcars, tax., etc Etc Etc.
Thus this institution would have monetary funds enough to attend to all humanitarian problems.
It is necessary for the state to finish with unjust taxes and establish correct taxes.
The workers in these times have to pay terrible unjust taxes that do not benefit them at all and greatly harm them.
The Institution of Providence and Social Welfare is an immediate need for all of the nations.
The Social Welfare and Assistance Entity is called upon to solve many vital problems which are: old age, homelessness, misery, unemployment, etc.
The Institution of Providence and Social Welfare must judge with bread in one hand and in the other the sword to avoid many abuses.
The Institution of Providence and Social Welfare must have police with strength and inquiring secretly to know who the persons receiving welfare is, and who really needs to claim it and who does not need it.
