The welfare state as we know it is a relatively recent phenomena. For 2 thousand years prior the poor showed up on the doorstep of the Catholic church. I admit is wasnt very pretty as Frank McCourt testified. You dont know squat about what I drop in that c ollection on Sunday. Get your heavy handed govt and their insaitiable confiscation of our income outta my face.
