Comment On The Welfare State

Here is a comment a posted on a blog the other day on the welfare state:

Also i think the bailouts can for lack of a better word 'help' with the welfare thing. poor people see the banks with no money, then they look at Obama giving out money to the banks and it appears that they are better now, because Obama just gave them money. So they look at that and think, "hey he helped the banks when they were in trouble, now he'll help us." And that is the mentality.

An argument could also be made that by keeping people on welfare you are distracting them with money, to get votes and obtain power. Sort of the 'carrot on the end of the string for the rabbit' idea. People then become dependent on the government.

So then they think it is good when really it is just keeping them poor and on the dole. So the dems paint that image in their heads, and then when people say "no give them a chance, let them get off the dole and try and do something," which would mean taking away their check, they view it as "against the poor" when really it is simply against the government breeding future voters (kids on welfare) and...yeah, i think by now you understand my point.
