Your already banned but I will respond anyway.

Welfare is a method used by the government to take away from those who produce and give it to those who do not.

There is a difference between giving a hand up and a hand out. Just look at what happened with the FEMA cards for Kitrina.

These were cards that where just given out and could be used for anything, and they were abused...duh.

Welfare is a hand out that is often abused. It is forced on the taxpayer who in turn has very little control over how it is managed. If it is mismanaged the taxpayer has no recource to correct it other than their one vote.

Charity is something that is given willfully to an organization that uses it to give aid. If the person does not like how the charity is using the money then they have the option to stop giving to that charity.

This gives the charity a vested interest in not mismanaging the money.

One vote that can be cancelled by the welfare recipient I might add.

And, why would someone want to work two jobs if they can stay at home, drink beer all day, get food stamps, free healthcare, and free rent and by having a few more kids, double what's free?

You are probably wasting your time, but I hope the troll will think about what you said. Of course, the troll probably fantasizes about being as loved as Robin Hood. If only the troll could fit its fat ass into a pair of green tights.
