So individual conservatives should do exactly what for these people? Volunteer and go down to the ghetto and show them how use power tools, read books, ...what? It isn't for conservatives or anybody else to spend time on people who don't want to be helped. That has to come from within.
But getting many ghetto residents off the gov. gravy train might force many of them to actually exert some effort as far as studying in school, learning a trade, or presenting themselves to prospective employers as employable workers. If you have no job skills and a lousy attitude, nobody will want to hire you.

You are making my point by the attitude expressed. Too many hypotheticals in your statement that will not happen.
I don’t like the welfare state myself and do see it as a vote machine by DEMs. However, I do not think there is any true “good will” by those that would end it. It isn’t, IMO, about getting them out of ghettos as so many say, it is about cutting costs and/or taking away the DEMS voting base.
I just think folks should be honest and stop using disingenuous rhetoric.
