The way the poor are treated, even here in Canada, is "controlling" them with fear.

Fear that they will be cut off: prevents some couples from living together, keeping their children and so on

Welfare recipients in Ontario are prohibited from belonging, or affiliating with a group that is just welfare people. They don't want welfare people to organize or know their rights.

Many welfare people can't get off the welfare merry-go-round just because the administrators won't help them. People making $40,000+ a year telling people how to live on $6,000 a year -

right, - like THEY know.

They want you to take your pittance and shut the hell up!

Poor people are all lazy, stupid, alcoholic, drug abusers -

Dincha know???
