Why do Republicans blame poverty on welfare?
Lets consider welfare to be all non defense and infrastructure spending. So now taxes are ten percent instead of 40%. The amount of poor people would be greatly reduced because now the average person has more money. People would have 30% more right away, but it is better than that. Businesses would see 30% more demand, so in addition to 30% more profit, they get 30% more business. So now they can hire 60% more people. Consider also that if businesses could make more money, more types of businesses would be able to stay open that would not be open before. So lets be conservative and say that 20% more businesses exist than now. In other words, unemployment almost totally goes away. We spend 20 dollars in America for every one dollar someone is below the poverty line. It would be easier to just give them money. I am a real life economist. This is a very simple example. My point is that if welfare wasnt there, there would be no unemployment. We could still support the elderly and disabled
Well theres 2 thing one republicans can stand the idea of hiving out money because they loose money and they became more less richer and second is because lets face it welfare those hive out a lot of money out and not all for the needy i now lots of people that have good jobs and cars and they ask for welfare and in real life people that really need it they don’t qualify
In the past, people were forced to get themselves out of trouble (unemployment, illness, etc.), but now people know that if they get in trouble there’s always a source of income at their disposal. As a result, welfare generates a society which relies on the government when they are in trouble, rather than themselves, their family, or their community. I think you have misinterpreted the criticism of welfare. It’s not that is CREATES poverty so much as propagates it. In doing so, it has created an entitlement attitude in America wherein people think that the government owes them a living. If welfare “wasn’t there” then I believe that many communities that have been burdened with perpetual poverty would get themselves out of it. Many communities which were once poverty-sticken have turned things around, such as the Mormons of the mid 1800s and the Japanese of the mid 1900s. Without welfare (at least to the extent that it functions today), people would be forced to find solutions to their
