Welfare is vote buying. Only lets the elites stay in power.
This is exactly correct. From it's creation by Lyndon Johnson in 1964, it was entirely about winning the massive poor class to keep Democrats in power.
And they only recently got the right to vote because the 24th amendment (Deceptively sold as a anti "RACISM" Amendment) gave non taxpayers the right to vote.
This was the beginning of our long national nightmare with reckless spending.
