When .gov distorts natural economic forces, people of all races will take advantage of it. However, per capita the participation of blacks in welfare programs far exceeds that of whites.

From the government itself:

Quote:

At 41.6 percent, blacks were more likely to participate in government assistance programs in an average month.

The black participation rate was followed by Hispanics at 36.4 percent, Asians or Pacific Islanders at 17.8 percent, and non-Hispanic whites at 13.2 percent.

BLACK: 41%
WETBACK: 36%
WHITE: 13%
ASIAN: 17%

The only thing that has raised economic growth is a full blown war.
At least in the past century.
Now? I have no clue. We live in a industrialized nation. That is failing.

End all welfare, period. No exception. People get hungry enough they will work. If they turn to crime instead, two to the head. Government charity doesn't solve anything. It creates a slave population.

At 51 years of age I can recall as a child american's hollering about the mexican's crossing border taking all the white mans jobs. What was done by america? Hardly nothing a few thousand men and women started and still devote time to patrol the border. I grew up watching Sally Struthers dang near crying about the little afreekans babys with the flys crawling in their eyes and mouths (grew up to and ended up there for 3 months) nothing has changed. We (america) as a whole for the most part have past the buck to our politicians to fix OUR problems. Now, just how long have "we" known alot of them to be corrupt and near to being traitors. What has been done? Notta not a dot damn thing. As we die off I hope we all know that all of us could have done more. Dying of natural causes when the nation that so many of us claim to love so much is in itself dying makes me wonder. We cannot rest upon our past laurels and expect an unguided populace to make the right choices for pete sake.
