Why think for yourself if you are putting your fate in the hands of the
person handing you a welfare check? The urban poor work on gaming the
system, not in assisting the world to be a better place. They have no
motivation to get off the lam. The welfare will drive them to
appointments, give them food, school the kids, and keep them from
having to have a personal stake in the world. What have these people
done they can look back on with pride? Smoked crack and got $0.80 on
the dollar for trading in foodstamps? Scammed medicare? Been part of
gang violence and vandalism to go along with the looting? Maybe he
scored big by having babies with women he never will see again,
survived prison, shot some kid for his shoes and iPod?

their bacon. Not even bothering to lift a finger to aid others, just
sat like steaming piles of s**t and waited for their hand out. Is
this
the effect of too much welfare given to the poverty stricken?
While I'm sure you'd like to lay this at the feet of that evil ol'
government, I see no reason to believe that Louisiana has a more active
welfare state than Florida. There may be different cultural attitudes
in those two places, but I don't think it has anything to do with
welfare.
