What I think is, despite the fact that I don't think it's that big of an issue, you guys just don't want to accept that undeserving people leach off of welfare at a much higher rate than you have acknowledged because it goes against your views. The idea of the "welfare queen" is not false. They exist. A lot of them. Like I pointed out. 4 out of the 5 people I knew receiving government assistance did not need it. And I know I'm not alone. Being somebody who fully supports government assistance for people like Chula's son, I can't just dance around this fact or ignore it or dismiss it because that's just duplicitous. Instead, my come back is I'd much rather have these lazy people sit on their ass collecting the scraps that we fight for rather than watch people who can't support themselves starve. It's ideal to fix it though. So more people like my sister in law could receive it while people like my dad could get cut off. It'll never be perfect, life will never be completely fair, and people just have to deal with that. Throw a tantrum all you want but I take much much more pride in myself knowing that I earn my scraps and have no problem with some of my scraps going towards the leaches IF I know it will also take care of somebody like Chula's son.
Edit: Also, to disprove stereotypes, the biggest welfare queen I know is a white supremacist Obama hater who named one of their many kids Aryan.
