Aid for Families With Dependent Children (AFDC aka Welfare)is technically limited to five years in the United States. As a career counselor and supervisor at two different state (Iowa and Texas) workforce centers, I saw thousands of these “clients” in my 15+ years. Most had more worldly goods and money than I did. Also, they could quote you chapter and verse from the laws and rules wich governed their entitlements. I say we go back to the system of churches and charities helping the poor, and the government would only assist those that are truly disabled.

Didn’t mean to hijack the thread but i agree with you. Its the entitlement mentality. Thats not what is happening in Britain though. I’d wager that muslim people in government have been pushing for this and other changes to bring them closer.

Sounds like a plan. The U.S. sounds like a good place to start a Constitutional Republic. Let me know if there is a growing interest. I have a few ideas myself that I think might work.
