Very few people on welfare are abusing the system, though some do exist. However, it doesn't make much sense to disband the police because of some rogue cops because the positive outweights the negative in terms of public well-being and it's the same with welfare. I understand the poor are an easy scapegoat, it's been that way forever (when the Jews weren't available anyway). However, a fraction of government spending (in any country) goes towards welfare, and the VAST majority of people who accept welfare are on it for less than a year.

I've been to some of the most poverty stricken places you can imagine. The people are not worthless, lazy, scum. They are poor. People do not begin life with an even playing field.

A large portion of welfare reciepients are not lazy, worthless, scum of the earth people. Believe or not, they're just like you and I.
....believe it or not buddy there are people out there who are no good leeches.

Isn't BoxingGorilla from South Carolina....ask him about the people down there.....poor worthless bastards. It's not ALL people on welfare but in certain areas like Walterboro, SC it's a MAJORITY of those people who are welfare ticks.

I'm not scapegoating, I'm telling you the truth. My aunt is a RN down in SC and she delivers babies and we'll just say she sees the same customers quite often, they never pay the hospital bills, they obviously can't afford kids and neither can the government but the government pays for them....families with 7-8 kids bang bang bang one right after the other.
