[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1549716, member: 2189"] Is the problem really them or is it the system itself that they have grown up in which teaches them[URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_helplessness'][COLOR=#ff0000][B] learned helplessness[/B][/COLOR][/URL] and promotes the idea of absolute dependency? Why do we not see them as a customer of a malevolent business out to build its own profit center in the same way a Walmart, UPS or other business? Why is Walmart evil for selling big screens and X-boxes so people sit on couches and do nothing yet our welfare system does the same and with Food Stamps, it's been shown that Walmart is one of the biggest revenue and profit benefactors. And if no food stamps and other welfare supports, how could the welfare community go to Walmart and buy big screens and X-boxes too? As I said before, in whose pocket does the welfare dollar finally come to rest in when it stops its travels? Follow the money! Not to mention that in political narratives, one side treats them as incapable and/or to stupid in taking care of themselves and fights anyone who attempts otherwise and the other side demonizes them as less than human. Hell of a trap if you ask me! [/QUOTE]
