In America, we are a land of opportunity. Anybody can earn a living if they put in the work. Welfare is a tool used to support the lower class, but it should never have turned into an entitlement. Americans are not entitled, we are ambitious.

Many of the extreme poor are elderly, mentally/physically challenged or children. A decent society cares for these people.

Liberals have created a welfare state in every country
-
You do know that the red states have far more people on welfare than the blue ones, right?
-
Some do. Some don't. Most states are a mixed bag once you factor in things like public housing. I do know that my state, calif., far outspends any otber st. when it comes to food stamps for instance
-
Overall, though, Blue states are less dependent on the federal govt.https://wallethub.com/edu/states-most-least-dependent-on-the-federal-government/2700/ …

Yes, we don't do judgement here in Argentina. I don't recommend it though.

Too many make self-serving and simplistic judgments on this complex issue. Dependence results from ignorance & disability. Health care & education are the key to solving this issue, yet are left out of this dialogue and shortchanged in public funding.

Do you really believe that or are you making it up as you go?

The difference between deserving and undeserving poor is whether anyone in your family is poor.

This ain't the fifties. Many jobs don't even offer benefits anymore, or a pension. Leaving the "employed" to ask for help or work 18 hours a day to make ends meet, but they're lazy and should just suck it up right?

@nytegan As always, Timothy Egan gets to the point. Trump's "Tale of Two Cities" act is a sideshow for his only intention: to enrich himself & others like him. But hope remains: the elections in 2018. What is done can be undone.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Most homeless people choose to be homeless.... go and ask them.....
-
Most homeless people need drug or alcohol treatment and/or mental health care.
-
Most just want to do drugs and alcohol... every consider that?
-
Most want to get off drugs and alcohol and have a normal life but of course rehab in this country is extremely expensive. We have plenty of homeless vets with PTSD who need help, too.
-
at one point or another, they had to make a CHOICE to do drugs. You cant save the world, you cant save every homeless person, you cant save every drug addict, you cant be a parent to all. Canada has free healthcare.... they still have hobos and drug addicts. Most of them choose.

2) or mental health care or general health care. Obamacare has actually made mental and physical health care accessible to millions hondidnt have it before. Only white guus with the mentality of a 12-year-old are libertarians.
