The welfare lie.

We as a people are so bitter, so easily swayed by fancy politicians in expensive suits and bright ties. We don’t see beyond our own boarders and the walls of our houses to see a broader world, one where real people suffer everyday. Why do we close ourselves off from this world? Is it because we are evil people who care nothing about it? Is it because we are indifferent to the suffering and death that surrounds us? No, I don’t believe that. When given a chance these zombified mall dwellers become the most caring givers in the world.

But we are led to believe that we don’t have to care for our fellow man, because it’s being taken care of us by our well meaning and always benevolent government. Why donate to charity when our dully elected officials are using our tax dollars in an unconstitutional fashion to fund welfare programs such as social security?

Wake up people and realize that the politicians that make up our government have nothing but their own self interest in mind when coming up with these programs. Oh, not all of them, some might actually believe that welfare may end poverty or such other nonsense as that, but most use the promises of welfare to gain votes from the poor and middle class, as well as promising corporate welfare to large businesses to obtain a little extra money. These are scams people; they are pandering to the voters to gain extra votes. In reality there is no constitutional justification for any such programs, but such an inconvenient fact is lost on our political elite.

Those who think the poor would simply starve without the aid of welfare need to take a good long look at the American people. Do you really think we’d allow the poor to just die in the streets because the government won’t take our money to give to them? Don’t people support these programs out of a desire to help the poor and less fortunate? We don’t need government to care for our poor, elderly, handicapped, and under privileged. What kind of sick notion is it that without our government there to make sure we’d care for one another, we’d be too selfish to lift a figure to help our fellow man? We the American people spend more money on charity then anyone else in the world. We will not allow the poor to simply starve while we sit at home watching TV; we will not allow the elderly to wander the streets with nowhere to go, but we don’t need governments to make sure we don’t.

I have every confidence in the American people’s ability to care for our own. Welfare of any kind is unconstitutional and puts and undue bourdon on the American taxpayers. It discourages charity and builds this nations national debt to unacceptable levels. Don’t fall for the welfare scam anymore, if you want to help the poor then do it, but no one should be forced to do so. I believe we can help the needy without our government. Care to take me up on the challenge?
