Quoting President Reagan, 'We should measure welfare’s success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added.'"
Fucking idiots, most people don't want to be on welfare. I don't see the GOP (the biggest opponent of welfare) trying to make things better for the less fortunate.
They think a solution is to just flat out get rid of it. Like that's going to fix the problem.
"Hey we know you're living on the streets because we took away your government assistance, but hey all you have to do is pick yourself up by your bootstraps and get a job now. Yeah we know the jobs your qualified for don't pay that much and you were probably making more money on welfare because those jobs don't want to pay a living wage. But if you work hard then one day you can be a millionaire like me!
"What my millions? Oh no I was giving 8 million by my father to start a business. What, me pay more in taxes? Don't be silly.
