The welfare state
The welfare state Living in BC, I see no shortage of people on welfare.
Wasn't welfare intended for short term substanince,not
as a career.Some families have been on welfare for generations?????
What kind of a monster has society created?
Handouts create dependency,leading to never ending handouts.
It wasn't that long ago people were too proud to accept handouts
even during the depression.Now our main industries are soup
kitchens and food banks.They have their purpose but are a band aid
solution aka treating the symptoms not the cause.
Every once in while the NDP sneaks into power in BC and creates
a welfare nightmare.They raise the welfare payouts and then wonder
why people from every corner of Canada start showing up on their
door step.It's gotten to the point where People don't want to
work anymore,they would rather go on welfare????????
When I was young I picked a fair amount of apples (Vernon,BC).
$10 for picking an 800 lb bin (mid 80s,1.5hrs to pick).Now it's more than
$20 and no pickers.BC actually brings in pickers from Mexico??????????
What kind of haywires dreamt up the welfare state???????
I believe they're known as politicians(let them eat cake).
