Keep in mind, I'm not defending the welfare system by any means; the fact that it has kept the south generally subservient is proof of how effective weaponized welfare is. They'll ramble on about the South rising again and Dixie and what have you...but when the sh*t hits the fan, they'll be up the creek. Reconstruction decimated the south in many ways. They loved Big Brother when it was all said and done.
Yet the dumb hicks vote to essentially cut off their own welfare checks.
As long as it stops people like me from getting assistance, they're happy.
All in the name of 'liberty'.
