America’s welfare supporting poverty

Currently in the United States of America, the welfare system is set up in such a manner that it is supporting a ‘minority’ group.

In Australia the term ‘dole’ is a colloquial term used to describe a person who is on government assisted benefits whilst looking for work. The term ‘dole bludger’ is used to described a person who is on benefits and may have no intention of finding work.

In the United States, one can receive government of $950 per month per child of one is from an African-American background. If a family is to have 4 children whilst on benefits, then the government assistance is close to $4000 per month clear (non taxed).

As of July 2011, the salary rate of an automotive factory worker can range from US$ 18,170 – 45,619.

A family with 4 children can have $48,000 per year from the government for not working.

A much better proposition, than working for a living in a blue collar job.

Sociologists indicate that this kind of welfare has detrimental effects on the community, and the individuals are generally caught up in the poverty cycle once they have entered it.
