Why Welfare is Good

It Benefits the country to keep the poor fed and clothed to keep them from falling further down the line and either dying or turning to violent crime.

Why is that a hard concept for you to understand? The lazy or the unwilling don’t look at what some people think is tough love and say “I’ll straighten up and go to DeVry and get a good paying job” they say “I’ll rob someone who can’t fight back” or “I’ll just give up”

It’s not a difficult sociological concept, Welfare (and the associated programs) may have it’s share of able bodied folks who could be working and are just gaming the system, but that’s the price we pay to avoid the creation of a massive underclass that would eat society from below.

It’s OUR society, not YOUR society, you may not like sharing the world with the poor and unmotivated, but they are still there and you can either keep them penned up in social housing and ensconced in the labyrinthine coils of the Bureaucracy or they can be on their own, hungry and motivated.

Welfare, it’s what keeps “The Poor” from becoming “The Hungry”

The Hits Keep on Coming

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Brooks Bayne Let’s it all hang out.  Seriously, if anyone still clings to the idea that the Republican Party ISN’T fast becoming the party of no-hope dead-end racists, I give you Brooks Bayne, who thinks this stuff is clever.  Send him your love on the twitter

NOTE: Mr. Bayne has commented on his own post that he is not a Republican himself; and was using his forum to express what he thinks the sentiment of the Republican Party proper would be in this instance.   In this case, Mr. Bayne was using sarcasm to express the public and private sentiments of a segment of the Republican Party.  I apologize for using this as an example of Mr. Bayne’s own beliefs.  Instead, I point you to another Article about yet another post that is among many espousing Mr. Bayne’s Conservative point of view.
