You are totaly off. What we have now is a system that allows the lazy people to stay lazy and just get by on what the goverment provides them. The cycle is passed on to their children and then to their children. The problem they are never forced to take responsability for themself and they become dependent on the goverment for everything. What they really need is a hand up not a hand out and the dems. now have all these people dependent on the goverment so they know they have a hugh voting block as long as the Dems are there to protect their goverment programs. These programs have done nothing to help most of these people and their situation stays the same. The conservative approach is to slowly wing them off the programs and let them learn to become dependent on themself and learn some self pride in the process. I know there will always be people who need help but they also need to show a will to help themself. When the wellfair reform act was passed back in the 90's our local paper followed 10 single mothers with children who had always lived under goverment programs. It was pretty amazing how there attitude on life changed over the year they followed these ladies. Yes they had strugles but they learned to over come them and move on with life. After the year of following them I believe 7 ro 8 where living total on their own without any federal money. The biggest thing I took form keeping up with these ladies is their total attitude toward life and how much more positive they had become.
