I give up. You didn't read the question, now for the third time. Or are avoiding answering. Don't worry, I won't ask it again, but am curious why a question that depends on no numbers to be answered requires MORE statistics from you.

People who live on welfare for too long tend to become dependent on welfare. It changes their worldview.
Dependence also breeds helplessness and despair. The person may feel he or she cannot make it on their own so they may give up trying.
I agree with this notion, too, and welfare reform is something that needs to take place. I think this spins in with the unable to break the bonds of slavery notion.
