Republicans have it half right about Welfare... [View all]

Welfare, and similar programs, should not exist.

But, what they will not admit, is that these social programs exist to support businesses that pay below a livable wage.

This is not welfare for the poor. It is a giveaway to business. The poor are compensated by the government so that business may profit.

Business profits directly from the taxes we pay and the poor are blamed.
