Thats the best you can do? Insults and ad homs. No surprise, "counselor."You are so simplistic. Your meathead view of the world has no shade of gray, because you have zero finesse or sophistication.
Can getting something free be de-motivating? Yes. Is it always, no?
You don't believe that there are honest, hard-working people who need help and who don't want handouts? You have to answer that you don't based on your last response...and of course, that doesn't mesh with reality.
There are people, down on their luck who need temporary help...and who are proud enough to get off welfare.
You can fight the facts and figures all you want. You lose here too, Rabid.
The number of people temporarily down on their luck is a drop in the bucket compared to the inter-generational welfare dependency we see in most inner cities and rural areas. The tendency is once someone is on public assistence they stay there, because the incentive to do so (by all parties, not just the recipient) is enormous. Check the figures for length of time on unemployment insurance. They are at the highest level in history.
You have yet to post a single fact or figure.
A great deal of which..started with slavery. Where's the 40 acres and a mule?
