Government Sponsored Welfare

Before we rush to dismiss all welfare as a dole for moochers, it is worth understanding that welfare, for it's recipients, is the subsistence income....one that enables them to merely survive.

"To blame the poor for subsisting on welfare has no justice unless we are also willing to judge every rich member of society by how productive he or she is. Taken individual by individual, it is likely that there's more idleness and abuse of government favors among the economically privileged than among the ranks of the disadvantaged." -Norman Mailer, author (31 Jan 1923-2007)
