Children will and do grow up to be slackers when the culture permits.
One of my favorite movies of all time is "Cinderella Man" I don't get in to boxing at all but there are so many great parts in that movie. Three of them are:
1. when he catches his son with the stolen big sausage and takes him back to the Butcher and makes him return it. He tells his son that hunger is no excuse for steeling.
2. When he has to swallow his pride and take welfare money.
3. When he repays the money to the system.
Just because you are needy, that is no excuse to take something that someone else worked so hard for. That goes for man, woman and child.
When the government takes taxes for infrastructure and military protection, that is something that we arguably all benefit from and could not pay for individually. Food, Housing, Clothing and medicine are things that fall with in our own financial discretion and responsibility.
If you give people stuff without requiring they work for it, you will eventually destroy their soul and self worth. I don't have a problem personally with a very lean running welfare system, but what people expect today is just incredible.
My Sister works for a housing program that subsidizes are pays in full the rent of low income people. Trust me. 99.999% of these people are just takin' what they can get and know how to maneuver within the system to never lose holdt of that government teat.
What we really need to do is show our brothers and sisters that it is from hard word, thrift and industry that we can ease our pain. We also should be pragmatic enough to know that we are going to die. My child’s life is more precious to me than it is to you, just as my life and health is more precious to me than to you, so my families health and welfare should not be maintained by stealing your corn.
There are numerous groups and churches that do charity work and will gladly accept donations.
