Clarification. About 15% of the population need the assistance from us. I have done a lot of financial work for the working poor over the years and was a MASH unit for financial rescue. Along the way saw personal and family horrors and hardships that would make every woman here burst in tears, especially the kids involved
The problem with our Freddy Freeloader welfare system is these 15% get the scraps left over from the people benefiting for sitting on their asses drinking beer and smoking reefer making bastards all day long
Americans are the most charitable people on earth....specifically conservative Americans.
This is worth reading:
Marvin Olasky, in "The Tragedy of American Compassion," explains that human needs were taken care of by other human beings- not by bureaucracies. The important difference was that the latter may take care of food and shelter...but the former also dealt with the human spirit and behavior.
Welfare programs today, are Liberal….conservatives don’t look for material solutions, but understand that changing values is what solves the problem of poverty..
