Be who you are and say what you feel...Because those that matter...don't mind...And those that mind...don't matter.

Actually they are more stable than countries that leave the poor to rot. Its better for business if you have poor people in shelter with enough to eat. Step on them long enough crime rises and the economy shrinks.

Welfare checks don't make people lazier. Their own weakness makes them lazier.

Welfare checks just let them get away with it. And shows everyone else that they can get away with it too.
Utterly delusional!

The stable countries are the ones who encourage the free market and allow people to raise themselves properly.

The free market unchecked leads to consolidation of corporations who squash competition. This is bad for social mobility. As we saw in the early 1900s when the US was more capitalistic than it is now workers where exploited significantly some were not even paid in dollars but company script. The level of power is not equal hence why some regulations are needed to keep corporations in check. The same goes for providing the poor with modest programs to help them take that away and you have crime ridden favelas. A pure free market is chaos just look at Somalia or Brazil or any number of countries that have limited social safety nets terrible places to live if you aren't wealthy.

Welfare is taking money from people who worked for it. It is taking money from people who are away from their own families, missing their kids birthdays, missing holidays, to earn that money. People who do without because their money is taken from them and given to you. If you're able bodied and on welfare no matter what you say, you can not justify taking money that you did not earn from someone else. It's lazy and pathetic.

OP I know a few people who were on welfare and but longer, they were forced off with Clintons efforts. They were pathetically lazy and didn't have any reality what so ever. Working was a shock for them.

You should understand that statement, since you are the one who made it up out of thin air. No one else has said such a thing until you invented it, in an attempt to fool people into thinking he said or meant it.

Who is it that is taking your precious time away from you? The lazy welfare bums or your employer?

It’s easier to pick on the weak than the strong. The welfare bum doesn’t have enough money to bribe your senator to vote for laws that allow your employer to make you work longer hours for lower pay. The CEO of your company, on the other hand, probably does have enough money. And here’s the kicker: your CEO probably pays a lower tax rate than you do, since he makes most of his money from capital gains. Ask Warren Buffett about that. And your CEO probably has enough money to bribe a politician to reduce his tax rate while increasing yours. We can’t have the elites paying for everything...that’s your job as one of the “little people.”

Who is it that is screwing you? The welfare bum or someone else?
