Welfare's Unintended Consequences

When we give people too much we need to realize that we end up taking something from them, too.

Check out this video:
"Why Work? Welfare addiction in handout hungry UK"

If we give too much we destroy the motivation to work. And the worst part is that this gets passed down through multiple generations. The woman interviewed in this video is 39 years old. She is has never worked. She has four kids by multiple fathers, none of which are around. She is a grandmother.

What are we doing? What are we teaching our kids?
