You are 100% correct if we continue the welfare system as it is. They are given just enough to live with no form of responsibility. Here's a few bucks, stay in the projects and do what you do. This cycle continues generation after generation. It is a perfect plan.
Everyday 2,660 children are born into poverty. Most will be doomed to a life of poverty. It is not their choice, it was the choice of their of parents but the kids will pay the price. Everyday we continue to allow these children to be born under these conditions and we do not care. But I am bassakwards for suggesting an alternative system?
Each year, an estimated 10,000
American children die from poverty's effects (The State of
American Children, 1992).
Early childhood experiences contribute to poor children's
high rate of school failure, dropout, delinquency, early
childbearing, and adult poverty (National Center for
Children in Poverty, 1990).
