Yeah the old welfare queens bankrupting our country eh? you know that the overwhelming majority of welfare recipients in this country are white, right?
They've had the dole in every country and every society since the dawn of time. Do you think that there might be a reason for this? That it's a NECESSARY thing? Bad things happen to good people all the time, and it is the duty of a civilized country to see that it's poorest citizens are cared for, as well as it's richest. You think welfare is bad? Would you like it better if we had people dying in the street from starvation like some 3rd world country?
It's not about keeping people dependent. It's about the fact that if you don't have money you can't get an education, and without an education you're always one paycheck away from homelessness. It's a way that society has devised to allow the poor an opportunity to better themselves, which most do eventually, contrary to conservative propaganda. It could be YOU applying for food stamps one of these days.
