History has proven that the more a group of people depends on their government the more control that government has over them. When Rome began to fail, the Roman government began to push welfare to ensure loyalty of the population. In today's American the Welfare system provides jobs and destroys families.
“A letter came in the mail today.” my friend John said to me, holding it in his hand. The letter was from the Social Security Administration. The letter told John that according to the SSA's records he made over $1400.00 in July. John is only aloud to made $700.00 month before his wife's Government funded Medical Insurance is compromised. John knew what he was getting into before he married Mell, but never realized that the whole system is stacked against them. “I quit a good job working for Disney as an Animator, because I knew I would not be able to afford Mell's medications. I make less than $600.00 a month and SSA is saying I make $1400.00. I should have never left my Job. You try to play their game and you can't even pay the rent.” John's story is not uncommon in a system built to trap as many Americans in its grasp.
A great example of of the welfare system trapping some one in it's tentacles is Jessica Hail. She has become trapped int the same way as Mell and John. Only her priorities and vary different. Mell and John place shelter at the top of their expenses. Jess and her new husband Dan choose to be living out side and use the money they save to pay off bills. But Jess only get's $300.00 from SSI. Her husband Dan just got a new job but before that he was working as a school bus driver which only provides an income nine months out of the year. Which made him dependant of the Welfare system through unemployment.
When a people become too reliant on their government that same government tends to take advantage of those in need. John is being oppressed because our American Government knows that if Mell and others like her can get out from under the foot of a Welfare State, jobs well be lost. After all the Welfare System in America employs more workers than any other employer and in this economy no one wants to loose their job.
The American Welfare System is crippling America with one benefit check at a time. As the number of recipients continue to grow, less Americans are driven to be independent. Moreover, the money that is being spent is tax payers money. If those who are receiving benefits are not required to pay taxes on them and the the number of recipients are going up, it seems clear that the Welfare is nothing more than a black hole that Americans get trapped in. No new income goes into the economy, because the government does not want you to find a job that can get you out of the trap. These reasons make Welfare is a cancer on American culture.
