Political Quotes

“In many ways, welfare is the 20th century's version of slavery. It is reserved for those who are in the worst possible socioeconomic position. Its victims are dependent on the very system that enslaves them. Its victims receive shelter, food, health care, and clothing from the system. The plantation, as a residence, and the often-used public housing units of today, both leave its victims feeling trapped. Welfare enslavery restricts its victims from sharing the American dream of ownership, prosperity, and hope. Its slave owners or overseers flourish at the expense of its victims. It thrives largely due to a divided family unit. During slavery, the family was divided via the slave trade business. Today welfare fails to hold the male accountable and inadvertently does its best to push the male out of the house. Lack of education and hope are two other common denominators between welfare and slavery. Without either, one cannot progress. We have babies in poverty having babies, thus our current system has produced generations of welfare-dependent children. Our welfare system continues to play the role of the fish delivery man for able-bodied people. Instead, we should help and insist that able-bodied people should catch their own fish. Eliminating dependency ultimately makes one stronger.”
