Actually, you're wrong. From the beginning of his First Inagural Address:

"The business of our nation goes forward. These United States are confronted with an economic affliction of great proportions. We suffer from the longest and one of the worst sustained inflations in our national history. It distorts our economic decisions, penalizes thrift, and crushes the struggling young and the fixed-income elderly alike. It threatens to shatter the lives of millions of our people.

Idle industries have cast workers into unemployment, causing human misery and personal indignity. Those who do work are denied a fair return for their labor by a tax system which penalizes successful achievement and keeps us from maintaining full productivity."

What does a deliberate lifestyle choice of dependency (welfare queen) have to do with the genuinely unemployed? Nothing. If you can't make a disctinction between those who want to work and can't find a job (currently more than 14 million Americans) and those who don't want to work and just want a government handout, then there's nothing I can do for you.

I am sorry but your response is utter and total nonsense.

My point about Reagan coining the term Welfare Queen is factual. YOUR response by quoting a completely non relevant portion of Reagan's 1st inaugural has nothing at all to do with the point. There is nothing in that Rega quote that remotely resembles support for anything you are saying.

Read it again. NOTHING you posted there made any sense in response. It has NOTHING at all to do with the fact Reagan coined the term "Welfare Queen"
