You don't get out much, do you! Most welfare recipients are just like you, we finally agree on sometime.

I have never received welfare support, but I have been involved in distributing it. If you have never been there it is easy to think the way you do.

It is a complex and dull subject, but if you understood the first thing about welfare policy, even you would be able to see through the popular image of the poor to the underlying causes. Most of them are decent people who can see no way out and eventually give in to despair.

It is fine to be critical but first you need to learn how to properly think critically using your own mind and powers of reasoning.
