Only a right wing redneck would bring this up as a subject, it is a favorite of the "conservative" Republicans. Too bad for them, their emo-based belief is totally skewed, and it is the Red states (Republican) that have the highest percentages of welfare recipients, all the time whining about too much and too big of government. Hawaii is not in the top ten, even though it has the most generous welfare benefits.
