Coping With Welfare Equals Losing 13 IQ Points

27. I think if people really saw the causes, we'd deal with it

One of the biggest problems is the way our "political representatives" hide how welfare works so they can keep recycling their same old welfare "talking point" lies!

People are not inherently cruel in the U.S. We seem to be against torture in rendition. We seem to be against Guantanamo. We get on a high moral horse and lecture China and other nations about Human Rights abuses every single day. This nation wants to stand on the moral high ground.

Our political representatives don't want people to see these problems piling up in our own back yard because they rerouted resources to deal with problems their lobbyists and vocal donating contributors were yammering about. They wanted to address the problems the problems that the media covered to show that the "cared" about the middle class. But since what happens to people on welfare is not visible, their meager resources have become one big cookie jar while grandstanding politicians continue to sneer they should just "get a job".

I genuinely believe that all people have to do is buck up the courage to look at this, even though it's hard to look at. If Americans don't believe in torture on American soil, it will change.
