Funny place America the poorer you are the more your hated & when they talk about "reform" they really mean leave em to starve in the street & give the money to the rich.
Attention Heritage Foundation, Welfare Reform has failed, and there are far more people living in the streets than there were in 1996 when the disastrous welfare reform began.
But anyway, thanks for showing concern for my education, but its quite all right. If you wish to learn more myths regarding the field of economics, then I can help if I have the spare time, but in the meantime it may do you better if you learned from a source other than wiki. You know, like read BOOKS on the subject? ^.^

…creating a flawed precedent for Smoot-Hawley, and the multi-layered retributions from it that turned what should've been the start of an average recession into a ginormous super recession.
Not to mention how the New Deal would help prolong the whole ordeal. Oh no. XD
Dude, the Great Depression is a multi-layered chain of recessions, with the seeds of it starting as early as right after WWI, when the U.S. economy was being steered towards agriculture in order to feed Europe after its initial devastation, with the Fordney-McCumber Tariff of 1922 setting up the illusion that Tariff = good thang (they only got away with that tariff since the devastated Euro economy yet wasn't in the position to retaliate against U.S. Tariff acts)…
Every once of college level economic training is inwardly laughing its ass off at your use of wikipedia as a source on a subject from my field of study, the apparent fact that you have no idea how to tell what separates political vs market entrepreneurs when you used the term "robber baron", the criteria that separates true a monopoly vs. a firm that just happens to be #1, and the countless other fallacies you just made in that comment. =P
…with policies that basically makes it impossible to get a job unless your in a union [good luck with that if you're colored], burns the crops of productive farmers [which, again, is STUPID], etc, etc, all while raising taxes and so forth, delusionally thinking such tax and spending policies that gets in the way of laissez fare is going to "help" the situation blah blah blah), I don't get your point.
Meh? What about the Great Depression (that fluke of multiple government caused recessions generated by a venerability to the tariffs [with post-WWI State Deposit Insurance] coming back to haunt us after the government first idiotically signs Smoot-Hawley, which later led to state banking runs as farms [and with them, their state farm banks] began to fail, and then tries to solve the problem with more stupidity in the New Deal…
True Charities spend TIME, not MONEY. Only the TIME people spend on others actually frees the impoverished. And TIME is not something State Welfare programs spends on people. All they do is generate dependency. =P
Charity also has to be conditional, otherwise, scammers and leeches is all you get. Conditional welfare isn't something that the government is not well known for, hence the point of this video in the first place. XP

Silly billy. =P
True charity isn't about total dollar sum spent, its about lives liberated. Its about someone spending their *time* with others far more than it is about spending cash on people. Toss money at people unconditionally, and they'll continue to rely on you like a child. And no one ever gets off of it.
And I think you underestimate charities. They were here before the 1930s, and they've always been working behind the scenes, EFFECTIVELY.
I know a lozer that continues to suck on welfare and her daughter is 18 and doesnt even live with her. Why should this lozer continue to get welfare????
Oh come on man. Didn't you know Wikipedia is the most prestigous, credible source in the world?
sew buttons!
I have often wondered that if a person on welfare sent a resume to the Heritage Foundation would it offer that person a job?
Isn't the best way for people to get out of poverty is to provide them with decent, well paid jobs. Books like Nickle and Dimed and the Betrayal of Work show that this isn't happening.
Yes. We are going to talk and think – it's our natural right and gift. We do not need a "tank" to think for us. They are not a "think tank." They are a "money mouthpiece."
So what?
