Welfare System Is ‘Anti-Work,’ Researchers Say

#10  AlmostAnonymous5839,

I heard an addition to that one lately that seems to apply to the Welfare mantality.

"Give a man a fish (welfare) and he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish (work) and he'll eat forever" sit in a boat all day and drink beer.

#9  The Left loves to say "Give a man a fish (welfare) and he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish (work) and he'll eat forever" which they think explains how government assistance works. They're incapable of seeing the irony.

#8  ..yep, who needs tens of thousands of years of cultural evolutionary social development when you're modern, urban, and have no real history.

#7  It's also anti-family. No need for a father figure anymore. And the kids a screwed up why?

Not just in welfare families---I know several single-mother, upper-middle class kids who are as screwed as can be.

#5  Direct deposit is much more efficient. Think of the carbon footprint of air drops, and the time spent standing around and waiting on the drop zone.

#4  Can we get a Master of the Obvious pic here?

Welfare is just as addicting as crack.

Besides, it's much easier to threaten the livelihood of people who are entirely dependent on you then working people if they don't vote a certain way, or think a certain way. Which is why politicians are so reluctant to reform it and it is considered mandatory spending.
