I have been more conservative than liberal, even when I was poor!
Had a brother in law who had disabilities, 3/4 deaf, dyslexic and diabetic. He had a job for about 10 years stocking shelves at a Navy base (contract job), he did not make alot of money but was able to live alone and take care of himself.
My mother in law put him on SSI, he had nothing to do all day, nothing to motivate himself and he turned to alcohol and crystal.
He was dead 2 years later due to an overdose.
I think personal welfare (not corporate welfare) is very destructive to the individual. I think those who get welfare should work for it.
