The welfare state is the biggest source of cultural rot. It has incentivized the destruction of the family as witnessed by our 40% illegitimate birth rate. It creates dependency upon government and forces the productive to subsidize the unproductive. It is basically a vote buying scheme because it ensures that someone on welfare will always vote for the party that promises them more of their neighbor’s money. Welfare spending is constantly increased because every time someone is admitted to the welfare rolls a new democratic voter is created, that results in more democrats being elected to office who then vote to increase welfare even more. It was a brilliant scheme by the democratic party because it’s guaranteed to grow and increase their power until ultimately they have one party rule, which is where we’re almost at now.
