Will Welfare Corrupt the Poor?

The below chart is the reasons or data on the topic of “Will Welfare Corrupt the Poor?” I believe that welfare won’t corrupt the poor, but only to a certain degree. I think if you get enough welfare money to last you limited amount of time- enough time to find a job- then welfare is ok. But if people have to apply for welfare more than that then the government should find out why that person cannot find a job or why the job is not supporting enough. If they figure out that the job is not supportive enough, they can maybe decrease the amount of welfare given to ensure enough money to support the receiver and his/her family. On the other hand if their job supports them enough then they should just drop it no matter what the reason is. The same thing should happen if the receiver doesn’t find a job within the time frame and after a warning is given.

Myth

Truth/fact

Handouts will make people lazy                          Welfare can discourage employment         They lost a commitment to the poor who face significant barriers to work, whether because of child care or mental disabilities.         Welfare is a narcotic, subtle destroyer of the human spirit.

In 2004 4 in 10 Americans had welfare         More cash welfare early in a child’s life improves the child’s longevity, education attainment and nutritional statue, and income in adult hood.         At least one type of unconditional cash assistance is used in 119 countries.         They assessed the effects of seven cash-transfer programs in Mexico, Morocco, Honduras, Nicaragua, the Philippines and Indonesia.

28th Amendment

I want to add another amendment to the Constitution. I would like to make it illegal for people to smoke in any public place. They should only be permitted to smoke on their own property and only with the permission of the owner, on another’s property. The think this amendment should be added because people have  Respiratory Illness and they suffer from respiratory illnesses such as asthma, which causes them to suffer when they are around cigarette smoke. Secondhand smoke from cigarettes causes lung cancer and diseases and I’m sure that people don’t want to get cancer so if this is added then this greatly reduces the risk of cancer and disease.
