I’ve got news for everyone — it isn’t just “inner city” men. There are a lot of suburban white men — ages 20 to 40 and of all economic levels — who don’t believe that they are required to support themselves. I have family members in rural Texas — all white as a sheet — who live off disability. My 43 year old brother is an electrician who lays off 4 months a year and doesn’t work, and then looks for money from my poor old parents because he is “having a hard time” during those months. A good friend comes from Appalachian Tennessee and he just shakes his head in shame at how his family spends their time stealing cars and living off disability and scamming the system. This is not a “black” or “inner city” problem. The whole freakin country wants a handout or views scamming the system as a way of life.

True enough. Its not all as black and white as some would like it to be. We do need to cut the entitlements but we need to ease job creation for them to have alternatives. Otherwise we'll just create more democrats.

The 'disability' scam's worse than welfare - and yeah, it ruins people of all colors - perverse incentives - powerful evil.
