How can a ‘war on poverty’ succeed if saving the ‘poor’ pauperizes an entire nation of working taxpayers?

Seems a Margaret Thacther quote is very appropriate...

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”
― Margaret Thatcher

“I think we've been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it. 'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations. There's no such thing as entitlement, unless someone has first met an obligation.”
― Margaret Thatcher

For the unfortunate, I'm not adverse to provide a temporary safety net in our society...but we now are compromised, guilt ridden, scammed into providing a permanent hammock for much of our society...SWL

Government assistance is in place and it is there for the individuals who in fact cannot care for themselves or people who (for whatever reason) are temporarily struggling.

We are a Christian nation and so that assistance will ALWAYS be available to the unfortunate - as it should be.

That said.... you will never convince me that tens of millions of able bodied people (many NOT even citizens) have a right to the full support and the endless assistance of the US government at the expense of working Americans.
