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.

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?

Right. One vote that can be cancelled out and trumped by the vote of some dead guy.

The most telling thing to me was when I witnessed many years ago a guy put a bag of dog food back and buy a bunch of ground beef instead to feed his dog because you couldn't buy dog food with food stamps.

The abuse of the system is startling and those on it can live on it forever. Why try when it is already all handed to you?
