But it is damaging, I believe, to the spirit. I am on welfare and find it difficult getting off. The worst part is, I can afford to get off with some sacrifices, but haven't. Welfare was easy to get on. My parents were on it, it seemed a normal way of life.
Most people accept it and even encourage it.
This is not surprising since 88 percent of the families in this country take this form of welfare. I could make sacrifices and pay for my kid's education rather than use the taxpayer's money. What I find so amazing is the encouragement of people to be on this form of welfare. The year that I sent my son to a Christian school, some of the administrators looked forward to the day when they could accept vouchers. Vouchers are just like food stamps, except everyone with children will get them.
