What welfare did the colonialist get? From the govt.???There was race protests and riots before welfare..Nice try though.........Let's outline the real provenance so no one will imagine that a fool like you actually understands what has happened.
Liberal welfare policies have led to this moment, these sorts of events.
- āWelfareā as a wholly owned subsidiary of the government, and its main result is the incentivizing of a disrespect for oneself, and for the entity that provides the welfare. As more folks in a poor neighborhood languish with little or no work, entire local culture begins to change: daily work is no longer the expected social norm. Extended periods of hanging around the neighborhood, neither working nor going to school becoming more and more socially acceptable.
- Since productive activity not making any economic sense because of the work disincentives of the welfare plantation, other kinds of activities proliferate: drug and alcohol abuse, crime, recreational sex, illegitimacy, and family breakup are the new social norms, as does the culture of violence.

There was never a time in America when there was no welfare.
Try not being stupid.
Government????
Marvin Olasky, in "The Tragedy of American Compassion," explains thathuman needs were taken care of by other human beings-not by bureaucracies. The important difference was that the latter may take care of food and shelter...but the formeralso dealt with the human spirit and behavior.
Welfare programs today, are Liberalā¦.conservatives donāt look for material solutions, but understand that changing values is what solves the problem of poverty..
Now compare the above, the result of the efforts ofthe welfare state, to the achievements of earlier ages, specifically colonial times. It was bonds and affiliations that resulted in bothfinancial and moral uplift.
Today, efforts are based on materialism,and materialism alone is hardly a basis for a satisfying and fulfilling life.
$22 trillion after LBJ's 'war on poverty' and the poverty rate is just were it was half a century ago.
Yet dolts like you are still on board.
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." - Albert Einstein
You'll never accept that Liberal welfare policy has no intention of solving poverty.
I will reference the Bible. In the best country the Western Hemisphere had to offer in the time of Jesus human needs were taken care of by no one until "the savior" walked by and touched the poor or ill who were laying in the streets. Even on my coldest day I don't want em lying in the streets lowering my property values, creating parts of town I absolutely can not go to, or sharing their diseases.
Hey, what is your plan btw? A welfare system about 1/2 Awhatbwe have now? Maybe I missed it.
1. Yours is he sort of self-serving nonsense that allows Liberals to do nothing for others....you hide behind some fabrication that the government will do it.
2. ."Leftism, though secular, must be understood as a religion (which is why I have begun capitalizing it). The Leftist value systemās hold on its adherents is as strong as the hold Christianity, Judaism, and Islam have on theirs. Nancy Pelosiās belief in expanding the governmentās role in American life, which inspired her passion for the health-care bill, is as strong as a pro-life Christianās belief in the sanctity of the life of the unborn.
Given the religious nature and the emotional power of Leftist values, Jews and Christians on the Left often derive their values from the Left more than from their religion.
....most Leftist Jews and Christians will counter that Leftist values cannot trump their religionās values because Leftist values are identical to their religionās. But this argument only reinforces my argument that Leftism has conquered the Christianity and the Judaism of Leftist Christians and Jews. If there is no difference between Leftist moral values and those of Judaism or Christianity, then Christianity is little more than Leftism with āJesusā rhetoric..."

3. Well, how was "welfare" formerly handled? Noted in the minutes of the Fairfield, Connecticut town council meeting: "April 16, 1673, Seriant Squire and Sam moorhouse [agreed] to Take care of Roger knaps family in this time of their great weaknes...."
"Heritage of American Social Work: Readings in Its Philosophical and Institutional Development," by Ralph Pumphrey and W. Muriel Pumphrey, p.22.
4. November, 1753, from the Chelmsford, Massachusetts town meeting: "payment to Mr. W. Parker for takng one Joanna Cory, a poor child of John Cory, deceased, and to take caree of her while [until] 18 years old."
See The Social Service Review XI (September 1937), p. 452.
5. The Scots' Charitable Society, organized in 1684, "open[ed] the bowells of our compassion" to widows like Mrs. Stewart, who had "lost the use of her left arm" and whose husband was "Wash'd Overboard in a Storm."
Pumphrey, Op.Cit., p. 29.
6. And here is the major difference between current efforts and the earlier: charity was not handed out indiscriminately- "no prophane or diselut person, or openly scandelous shall have any pairt or portione herein."
The able-bodied were expected to find work,and if they chose not to, well....it was considered perfectly appropriate to press them to change their mind.
