There is a biblical adage that deals with the concept of self-reliance
which goes something like this: "If you give a man a fish, you feed him
for a single day; if you teach him to fish, you feed him for a
lifetime."
Unfortunately, the American welfare system isn't based on this concept. In fact, it has been so politicized over the years by self-centered men and women whose only aim in life is to use it and other federal "incentives" to remain in power, that the one thing it doesn't do is encourage recipients to better themselves.
As bad as that is - and as damaging as it is to an entire segment of society - what is worse is that the manner in which welfare programs are set up makes them ripe for abuse...and as such, they are abused, just like the taxpayers who fund them.
