Good article, and helps prove my point. I hope you read it.
Welfare may have started out as a helping agency, but it has very much become an enabling one.
That's very different from saying that welfare was designed to keep certain people down. I tend to believe the article more than that notion.
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.

We already discussed it. I thought we reached a conclusion, but apparently I'm wrong. Maybe I'm not understanding the question, and you should try rewording it. Or, if you really are that fed up with me, then you can ignore me - but I'd like to understand what you're trying to tell me, and the point you want to make.
I did read it. Like I've said, I'm not a scholar on the issue. I said that there are ideas and theories, that are interesting to me. Both sides are seen in this article, unless I didn't really read it properly. I simply meant to share that with you. Not get into another argument. It seems that you've enjoyed it and learned from it also, though. I'm glad.
