It all comes down to work ethic. <br /><br />I think there is a place for welfare as a stop-gap for people who find themselves in an impossible situation. However, it should never be a lifestyle.<br /><br />I don't know anyone who grew up as poor as I did, except maybe the people in the town I grew up around - but most of them were better off than I was. <br /><br />It's all about WORKING and enjoying the dignity that comes with work. There is nothing dignifying about taking a hand-out.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732239755169187164.post-83419385814218534472009-07-19T23:10:25.325-07:002009-07-19T23:10:25.325-07:00AMEN!

When we came to America, we a...AMEN! Seriously! <br /><br />When we came to America, we ate government cheese and peanut butter for exactly one week. After that, my father vowed to scrub toilets if he had to so we could stop getting hand outs! Somehow we made it - where there's a will to make something out of yourself, there is a way.Julia@SometimesLucidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14750362656434125400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732239755169187164.post-3520144258990605602009-07-19T14:48:04.272-07:002009-07-19T14:48:04.272-07:00Good stuff, you nailed it.

It is legendary.<br /><br />I agree with Dave as well. Many of these governmental forays are with one aim.
