Sorry,I ran out of answer points)-: The 2000 census shows that "whites" do in fact make up the majority on the welfare rolls.

Duh, the Democratic Party has always had as their core social issues. Sorry it had to be generalized but it is true. The basic party platform is to use funding of government, not on military and big business, but on social programs.

It will be less than 50% by 2025\nIt will be a minority (smaller than any other group) by 2150.\n\nThis is all according to the census. However, two things:\n1. There are so many people that claim "white" but are actually a mix that this all becomes unimportant after a while.\n2. There is no such thing - scientifically - as the Human race. Humans are a species, not a race - so scientifically, we are all part of the same species. Race is a term used by sociologists to categorize and separate people based on physical appearance and ethnica/cultural background.\n\nIf this is the best answer, please vote me the best answer.\nThanks!

I have no reason to doubt what ABC found.  The people of the upper midwest are the most generous people in the country, yet they are also the most humble.  Even though the per capita income of this region is lower than other regions, the people continue to give more.  You'll also notice that the number of people on welfare in South Dakota and other midwest states is also much lower.  The people of the upper midwest truly do believe it is better to give than receive, and they don't even expect recognition for it.  San Francisco and other cities like it should be ashamed.\n\nAs for the conservative to liberal giving rate, ABC found that of the 25 most generous states, 24 of them traditionally vote conservative.  That is more than enough evidence to show that conservatives do care about others.

Yep, but it will never happen until people stop getting a check because of their own poor life choices. Unfortunately all of societies parasites can vote, and since they don't have jobs, they have all the time they need  to make it to the voting booths. So, until society starts making welfare recipients feel like the failures they are again, expect higher taxes.

Your facts are mixed. Try reading other posts. It is not the poor coming here-that is very few. Try reading.

agree with you. It's something I think about quite a lot. Where I come from to work is kind of a privledge and a pain in the ass at the same time, but taxes do take a sizeable chunk out of anyone's income. People on a benefit admittedly do not receive a large income, but it's a pain in the ass when they say that they should be on one because "boo hoo" they are a single parent or whatever. And when the people who are working and basically, apart from all the rest of it, paying for them through their taxes, quite possibly have things which they could choose to say "boo hoo" about also. Anyway - that is just regarding your basic everyday run of the mill single parent family, which honestly probably does need quite a lot of help. If someone is together with someone else and passing themselves off as single so they can claim more benefits, then that is shitty yes. If they have plenty of money coming from someone else I don't think they should be chasing welfare stamps as a lifestyle option.

What exactly are you converting from, again?  \n\nI'm afraid that welfare is only for people who won't work, not people who have.\n\nEDIT:  LOL!!  Split ends = racist!  Weird.

The largest group of welfare recipients, by a huge margin, are children. Would you put them to work instead of going to school?\n\nAlmost all the remaining welfare recipients are the disabled and the blind. Just what work do you propose that they do?\n\nYou want Social Services to take the children from their parents? Now that's a brilliant idea when the system is already unable to take care of the foster children in its care.\n\nYou want to have the government set up a system of day care for the children of the poor? Just where do you think the money is coming from? Just how much money do you think we currently spend on welfare recipients per person? The average benefit nationally is less than $400 per FAMILY per MONTH.

Liberals have done that to whites also, but not at the rate they have to blacks.  They preach that blacks are worthless and cannot do anything unless the Democrats/government is there to hold their hands.  I think the Dems are still holding a grudge against the end of their reign as slave holders.  They even lost their hold as sharecropper overlords, KKK members and Jim Crowe law writers.  Welfare was their last trick to destroy the black race.

first its not just whites who are angry, AMERICANS are. second all we want is that immigrants take the steps necessary to be legal and for every one to pay taxes, as of right now the biggest welfare state in the USA is Mexico....

We owe our country's success as a producing nation to the sweat of our early laborers.  Today, we still out-produce every country on most every good and service.  And blacks are still broke, sick, and under-represented.  We still haven't made reparations for what we owe.  They aren't blaming whites, they just want (and deserve) their money.

There are middle class Americans of other races who are also impacted by poverty in inner city slums. Is this a race issue or a class issue?\n\nWith that said, the problem relates to everyone because we pay for it. For example, a budget cutback closed the mental health hospital a couple years ago. All the displaced people were literally put on the street with one month supply of whatever medication they were on and a "good luck." Since that time, two people in our community have killed their families. One man killed his mother and a mother killed herself and her children. Either we pay for them to get the services upfront or we pay on the other end of the equation.

It’s not a question of colour but financial status. Poor people are more likely to steal. In the USA the rate of blacks is high among the poor. This can be the reason, I guess. Well, in my country many more white people steal.

Try looking up the gallup polls.  Or go to the U.S. Census website.  I don't know these two websites but you can google them.  (Can I say google on Yahoo!?)  If this helps don't forget to give me ten points.  I have been helping a lot of people with school work lately and sometimes I am the only one to answer so they just take my advice and then delete the question.  :(

I have asked the same question a few times already but I get no reasonable answer for it. It is just like saying that all white people are racist... its not all of them, but most of them... wouldn't it be a good example if they are going by majority? Watch me get thumbs down for this answer. Like I have said before, they can't take the HEAT and refuse to recieve exactly what they give. IMO.
