Christians are the most charitable demographic they give more to charity than any otherDon't you think someone with a Christian motive will better serve the poor than someone who is just trying to save his own neck?
I don't think Christians are inherently more moral and selfless than other people. I think anywhere the money goes corruption will follow, because people are people. Also it's irrelevant because we can't end welfare programs and instead give all of that money to Christian churches. It'd be seen as favoritism towards and empowerment of a particular religion and the idea would be murdered in government.
in Pennsylvania, an unemployed single mother with one child can be given up to 45,00 dollars a year in various government handoutsno we make it to comfortable to be poor in America so comfortable there is no incentive not to be poor not to get off welfare find a job better your selfpeople on warfare here in America live as well as middle class in many countriesSome people will abuse the welfare system. It's a necessary evil. I think it's not as common as some people think. Also it's not exactly a glamorous life.
Good.
We're better than those countries. We're better than all countries. We're the United fucking States. I am proud of what you just said.
That's ridiculous. Welfare is not setup to allow able-bodied adults to live for free and have no job. The people that live super comfortably and still have an EBT card are usually drug dealers. In many states now EBT has a work requirement that says if you're working less than 30 hours a week you are not eligible. There are other requirements for other programs too. Most of the people on welfare are working shitty customer service jobs for 8-10 dollars an hour and living paycheck to paycheck.
why would anyone go out and get an entry-level job if they instead can sit on their ass and do nothing for 45,000 dollars a year

Exactly.
Why are most welfare recipients still working for shitty pay? That wouldn't be reality if it was as you suggest.
The welfare mom living it up on the taxpayer dime is an overplayed and exaggerated stereotype that doesn't even come close to reality. Getting access to those programs is not as easy as you think, and a lot of single moms on welfare are still out there working for shitty wages and barely making ends meet. I personally know millennials that would have jumped on that boat years ago if it was actually as you suggest. The working poor make up the majority of people on welfare, and their lives are not what middle class people would consider comfortable.

Better Off Than Europeans, Japanese
The average "poor" American lives in a larger house or apartment than does the average West European (This is the average West European, not poor West Europeans). Poor Americans eat far more meat, are more likely to own cars and dishwashers, and are more likely to have basic modern amenities such as indoor toilets than is the general West European population.
"Poor" Americans consume three times as much meat each year and are 40 percent more likely to own a car than the average Japanese. And the average Japanese is 22 times more likely to live without an indoor flush toilet than is a poor American.
Nearly a third of all "poor" American households have microwave ovens.
Sixty-two percent of "poor" households own a car, truck or van. Fourteen percent own two or more car.
According to government figures, over 22,000 "poor" households have a heated swimming pool or a Jacuzz
