I am for doing good to the poor, but…I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed…that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.

For those who are raised in today’s public school system, and are not being taught cursive, and therefor have probably never read, nor could you read, the writings of the Founding Fathers, here is a brief translation for you to help you understand.

When you pay somebody to not work, and make it easy for them to not work, they choose to not work. When you require somebody to work for themselves in order for them to survive, they will do what it takes to survive.

Such is the lesson learned when 32-year-old, Lucy, a welfare queen called in to KLBJ from Austin, TX, and asked, “Can you really blame us?”

Lucy claimed that, each month, she gets $550 in rent subsidies, $450 for food stamps, $150 for electricity, a cell phone (roughly $50 per month for a basic plan), and $100 for water. That brings her grand total to $1300 each month from the tax-payers.

In addition to this assistance, Lucy has three kids, and her husband, who rarely works, collects family benefits as well.

The next time you get home from your job, exhausted by the end of the day, with your feet aching, or your back sore, or feeling drained, make sure you are thinking about the fact that a part of your pay-check is going to pay for people like 32-year-old Lucy’s way of life so that she can smoke weed and play with her friends all day. –Source
