Democrats have proposed the theory that a group of people will not become independent and self-sufficient if they can rely on support from the U.S. government.

I believe this one sentence says it all.

Here at home, Democrats send an entirely different message to welfare recipients. The message to this group is that the federal government will stand beside them indefinitely.

For these people, Democrats want to provide unlimited support, programs and financial aid. We have a bloated bureaucracy tasked with providing unending handouts.

The Welfare recipients and the Democrats have a contract.

The Welfare Recipients vote Democrat and the Democrats vote to support existing programs and work diligently to create new ones.

It is a contract that has served the Democrats well and it is one that they will defend to the death.

The Welfare Recipients also believe in the contract, much to their detriment.
