Charity should be handled by private charitable organizations at a local level. Then you wouldn't have these pitiful situations.

"A woman encouraged her husband to have sex with a 12-year-old girl so that she would get pregnant and they could claim extra cash benefits.
Alicia Bouchard even sat and watched while her 26-year-old husband had sex with the underage girl at their Florida home.

According to an arrest warrant, the 41-year-old wanted the girl to fall pregnant so that she and her husband would have extra income from state benefits."

So the deviant and criminal behavior of this couple should abolish those who really need help from receiving it. Yeah ok, 2008 crash and the the million dollar bonus to CEO's was proof Corporate Tax credits and Corporate welfare should be abolished.

Amen. This couple should be prosecuted. Abolishing welfare would doom children across the country to a lifetime of poverty.

No, read my post again. I didn't say that.

Charity should be a private operation and NO company should get welfare.

And there is nothing relevant to CEO bonuses in this. So try to stay on topic.

Actually quite the opposite. They are ALREADY doomed to a lifetime of poverty and government dependency.

Charity does not have to come from the government.

This is on topic. Welfare is welfare. So if your going to abolish it from one, you need to abolish it for all.

And many are not. Many are doomed to a lifetime of government dependency. That's what a nanny state does.

As would keeping them on it. The "war on poverty" is a miserable failure.
