There's plenty of countries with little to no welfare. There's also countries with lots of welfare. If I had to pick between living in one of the former or one of the latter the choice was a no-brainer to me.
For now. There is still a lot of left over wealth in a lot of countries. In fifty years I wonder which will be which though.

Funny since they were taking advantage of slaves at the time of writing this. Hypocrites.

That wealth is represented in the form of promised goods and services. It means nothing without the educated and apt people behind it who will provide these, whereas those people will still be what they are regardless of any promised wealth.

That notwithstanding, like it or not, ethical and moral obligations are irrevocably linked to our vocations, including those that produce great wealth. How we respond to these obligations will, in large measure, determine whether our Republic can transcend the "Fatal Cycle of Democracy": From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to courage; From courage to Liberty (Rule of Law); From Liberty to abundance; From abundance to complacency; From complacency to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage (rule of men).
That is a brilliantly put truism.

Go ask a poor person if some welfare and food stamps make life easy.
What do you propose we should do to spur them into getting a better life for themselves?
We should tell them to be more patient and that jobs will start to trickle down shortly...

You have it backwards again. Obama is trying the give the poor money and watch the jobs pour in. Working well he thinks, just give it time. What you and the other liberals never seem to understand that keeping government out of it alltogether is the only way it will work. Government will always help those that are the most popular; which is seldom the best and often is the worst.

There are three kind of liberals;
Stupid, ignorant or evil
The result is always evil but the intent is not always evil. Not that it makes much difference in the long run.

Obama is trying to give his political contributors and supporters money. He knows the power of quid pro quo. Its the basis of Chicago politics which he mastered

In what way is Obama trying to give the poor money? I must have missed that one.
