What does Afro think? The system creates dependency. The culture of someone else can pay to help me out has destroyed American ingenuity. Appreciate u helping to break that mold!

@afroprepper I would like to see a response to this Afro I would love to hear your opinion.

No we are a nation of Demcads: Whiners, complainers, excuse makers, overeaters, lazy, blaming everyone else for their problems.

The US is in decline, has been in decline for decades, however not due to an overburdening welfare state, but rather due to a lack of social security. If food stamps really created laziness, why are the countries in Northern and Middle Europe with a way stronger security so incredibly successful? Why have they survived the crisis better and more sustainably than the US?

i can see the possibility of people losing their fighting spirit by using food stamps but it can also do the opposite,it can help people in a rough spot,regardless americans should look to the past and see that these things did not exist and we made massive social and economic progress.i look at the american frontier history and i am inspired,americans were so strong and unrelenting in their pursuits,we're too comfortable,we need to reclaim that identity,there are still many frontiers to face.

In all considerations, without food stamps the economy would be worst shape.  The conditions that would be created would be very much in common with the great depression.. To due away with entitlement programs would bring forth less revenue to grocery stores, which in turn would have to lay off employees. This would create a downward spiral, and we there will be more hunger in the United States. How is it right to let American's go hungry? We are a greater people.

@blackworldonline capitalism-though it encourages hard work and innovation, has failed humanity as a whole. Nobody is on this earth to live forever. we came here for a purpose and we need to realize that purpose, that's the only way the problems facing this world can be solved. there's no sense of a community in a place where the richest man in the world have businesses yet u still see people on the street with sign saying they need shelter. somethings doesn't make sense at all.

i have always been an advocate of community system, u can call it communism but that word has been paired with a lot of negetive stimuli. this world is one globe with millions of people in it, that idea gives u a sense of a community already, a people living in a single space for a purpose. we are here to love, and when there's lack of love, these things u mentioned becomes the outcome. hard work is good but u need to know that people need help to be awakened and stired up again.

[daylanrayne]

J. K. Rowling was on welfare when she started her series so the poor and motivated to go together.

I live with my grandmother along with my step father and my step father is constantly telling me to get on food stamps, because I spend too much money on food a week. I get so mad when he says this, but it is only evidential for him to be that way, because he's on them and I come from a family that uses them. I want to outgrow these crutches and yet he's telling me to wear them. I can't wait to further my success to my own home so I won't be surrounded by weak character.

[acrosby74]

@MorningDreamgirl Amen, preach it sister. It's all about that sense of "Entitlement".

[acrosby74]

@mohammedabshaun I agree with both of you on this matter. Everyone seems like they are out to get what they can from the government. It's like no one is thinking about what we can do to improve things in America, just what they can do to get by, making them dependent on Uncle Sam rather than figuring out how to make it on their own. I'll try to get a video response up today. I know you're busy but I'd like to chime in.
