Reducing Aid to the Poor

It is important that we define who the welfare recipients are. The poor, who initially receive the check, are only the funnel for the funds that they receive. They need everything and are unable to keep any portion of their welfare checks. They have to spend it.

The true recipients of welfare checks are the segment of society who have some of their needs satisfied and are able to keep a portion or pass it on in spending or saving. This includes supermarkets, landlords, the city who sells them utilities, etc. In other words, it goes right back to the taxpayers, where it should be.

We must stop acting as if the poor “eat money.” They spend it! We must stop beating up on the poor since there for the grace of the economy goes us!
