Just what we need, to jump-start a Federal Bureaucracy that by the Constitution should be handled by the States.
End welfare. We’ll have less poverty when we stop paying people to be “poor.”
How many trillions have we wasted already trying to help people who should just get their acts together and help themselves? What we refer to as “poor people” in America are mainly a bunch of grifters with government-paid iPhones, free housing and a monthly stipend. Talk about taking that away and you’re a racist.
For you have the poor always with you; - Matthew 26:11
Yes, as Christians we should reach out to the poor. But it is not so much that there are poor, it is that we have created so many who are not only poor, but permanently dependent. And it is the characteristics of this dependency that are such pernicious evils. They include a breakdown of family structure, lack of incentive to improve their lives, the creation of a largely criminal class, and the production of nothing but an ever larger following generation of people just like themselves. I don’t have the answer of how to completely solve this problem, but the first step seems rather obvious.
Stop subsidizing it. Don’t reform welfare. End it; tear it up by the roots.
