The welfare programs have created a helpless and permanent underclass.

The alternative to a helpless and permanent underclass is a strong, violent and dynamic one. Look at the situation in New Orleans to see what happens when you take support away from people who have no job, no money, no hope, and a gun.
Yes, there will be those who are sucked into a life of dependency if you offer them the hand of support, but if you take it away, you are instead condemning a different set of people to a life of violent crime.
I know I'd prefer to see the welfare family in my supermarket than the armed and desparate criminal gang.
