I agree with some of this, but what's left out is that nobody is forced to take government handouts! I was raised to work hard and be self sufficient. Raised that way by my FAMILY! Who not only instilled these values upon me through their words, but by the example they set for me as I grew up. Handouts don't "steal" a mans dignity... These men are raised without dignity!
My grandfather needed government assistance during the Great Depression because there was NO work for anyone. He used it till he got on his feet and then paid every cent back to the Govt that he took! He then went on to serve in WWII honorably and came back to raise his family. That man had dignity... And passed it to his children and grandchildren through the examples he set for them.
Do you think Michael Brown's family raised him this way? Doubtful. This is the problem.
