The Welfare Lie. It's The Rich Who Do Not Work

It is really the rich who do not work ever. They get rich by mostly stealing money from their workers or by giving them very low pay. The wages of working class workers has risen right? They are the ones on welfare.

I worked with welfare clients for 6 years. Granted there are scammers, but in my experience most of them would work at a job that has decent pay and allows them to live with dignity. So Romney is a liar.

Plus TANF is a joke. All the program is is a harassment program to make welfare clients work for wages that will keep them poor permanently. They have no chance to ever succeed and become economically viable. It really is about starving children over ideology.
