A vote for a Liberal candidate. The same people who are looking for handouts are the ones who are lining up to put the people in office who make it possible.

It's simple economics, and they don't need much schooling to grasp it -- the politicians CAMPAIGN on this shit in poor areas.
The poor are one of the worse at voting. It's changing but not that fast.

Wanton, why do we as a society look after people less fortunate than ourselves? Because we care. It's that simple.

Yes we could do it better, but until you can show a working alternative don't attack a system that works.

AllStar's post pointed it out. would you like parts of LA to be more like Soweto?

Also it's about distribution of wealth, give a millionaire a 5% tax cut and he's likely to spend it in the Bahamas, give it to someone in Downtown LA and he will probably spend it in the local store.

Or are you pissed off because if they are on welfare they're not turning up to pose nude?
