Being on the dole undercuts your motivation to change your situation.

Having been in need in the past for assistance, I can say this is the exact opposite for me. Being on the dole increased my drive to get off of it. I hated taking things without earning them.

The government will NEVER lift you out of poverty, but a good job can. That’s where we believe we should be focusing our efforts. That’s why conservatives have long touted enterprise zones that allow businesses to have tax breaks in poor neighborhoods. The more businesses that move into low-income areas, the more poor Americans can get jobs.

This is SO true ... and it may never have been better articulated than when Newt handed Juan his arse in the S.C. debate ....

They’d be getting money ….which is a good thing if you’re poor … only the elites despise earning money …

"When liberals look at the poor, first and foremost, they see people who will vote for them in exchange for goodies."

Trinkets and beads.
