I already answered this question for Joko. I know that there are plenty of whites on welfare. I simply happen to have personal experience with the "baby momma" culture, so I tend to make reference to it often.
However, even going by the statistics, it is worth pointing out that the African American welfare rate is more than two and a half times the white welfare rate, simply due to the fact that they make up a sigificantly smaller portion of the population than whites, yet still account for almost 40% of total welfare expenditures.
There is also the following to account for:
72% of Black Children Are Raised in Single Parent Homes
Considering that single mothers are the greatest force driving welfare expenditures in today's economy, I would think that these numbers more than speak for themselves.
I never said that it was "the" problem. Military expenditures, medicare, and medicaid play major roles as well. However, the simple fact of the matter is that we're never going to make any progress so long as the Left not only remains reflexively opposed to
any kind of domestic spending reform, but actually insists on adding more new and equally useless programs (i.e. Obamacare) to our (nonexistent) budget each year.
Cuts are supposed to hurt. It's time to man up and deal with what we've had coming for the better part of half a century.
Higher wage jobs are unsustainable from an economic standpoint. You don't pay double what a job is actually worth on general principle alone.
There is absolutely no reason why lower income earners cannot get by, and even thrive, on market determined wages.
Poverty
should be a painful experience, and that's the whole point. What possible incentive do you have to work your way up if everything's being artificially kept just fine and dandy at the bottom?
Government dependents are living in "lala land" and the whole thing's getting ready to come crashing down around their heads. They had best start learning to fend for themselves sooner rather than later.
