We have a cultural problem in America, particularly inner city, with people living on public money and not being productive members of society.
Part of the problem is that underclass inner city women begin having babies at age 15. They continue to have babies, with different men, until they have had five or six. These women do not go to school. They do not work. They are not ashamed to live on public money. They plan their entire lives around the expectation that they will always get free money and never have to work.
The inner city men who are part of the problem also do not work. They get social security disability payments for a mental defect or for a vague and invisible physical ailment. They do not pay for anything: not for housing (Grandma lives on welfare and he lives with her), not for food (Grandma and the baby-momma share with him), and not for child support.
I once asked a 19 year old with no job and no schooling from the inner city, "What do you do all day?”
“You know, just chill.” These men live in a culture with no expectations, no demands, and no shame.
Should we change that? Should we get rid of the handouts and end welfare?
Nothing wrong with the old soup kitchen. I don't believe in letting people starve, but let's get rid of food stamps, welfare payments, and other bs government giveaways.
Let's make these people learn personal responsibility
