Yeah families like that should be proof enough that welfare is cruel. We have welfare islands throughout this country where hope is in short supply. Men especially are ruined without the dignity of meaningful work.
I was driving through various neighborhoods of Chicago yesterday. It amazed me how the men’s deportment in the high crime/welfare neighborhoods contrast with the more prosperous parts of the City. The men in the bad neighborhoods really look like they have no hope and no purpose.
In L.A. you have Koreans come here and open small businesses, then the local underclass becomes resentful and turns violent on them.
