I don't change what I'm said about Carson at all.
he openly discredited welfare of any kind. He changed his statements later on like he did with other things.
Now you are are just willfully obtuse and stubborn to sink with your ship
post the whole quote
Government entitlements compete with private-sector charity
"It is very difficult to travel to any community in our nation and not find charitable organizations specifically created to aid the indigent citizens of that community.
"Our government used to fully understand the role of private-sector charitable organizations in ameliorating the plight of the poor. This is why the government offered tax deductions and exemptions for churches and other charitable organizations. Today the government actually competes with many of these private-sector charities while still offering them tax deductions. How does this wasteful duplication benefit government or us, its citizens? Certainly by creating huge government entitlement programs, the size and power of the government increases dramatically. Before long, people generally depend on government for everything from health care and education, to a comfortable retirement, instead of looking to government for the basic protection of life and property, as well as providing public roads and public safety."
He is saying people become dependent on the government for everything and that it gets away for original intent; that people have to come to expect the government to take care of everything for them
also,
this is from the same source:
"If we really want to eradicate poverty, we should allocate significant resources and personnel toward providing education and opportunity for the poor. And if we are to provide assistance to our able-bodied citizens, it should be attached to a requirement for work or acquisition of education and/or skills.
If they have to work anyway, many people will put real effort into finding the kind of job they want as opposed to collecting unemployment benefits and being assigned to work they consider undesirable. Some conservatives would say that we should leave such people on their own to sink or swim because we cannot afford to keep supporting them, while some liberals would say that these people already have enough problems and that it would be unfair to require anything of them. I reject both"
no contradiction -- one berates how we have become so dependent on the system and the other states a specific responsibilities.
NOW PLEASE state where he says that welfare should be ended completely --
just one link, with one line that says he does not support any welfare or public subsidies of any kind.
just do it.
Show of hands - anyone actually believing what kong is trying to pedal right now?
