"The bread of charity is life itself for the needy; he who withholds it is a man of blood. He slays his neighbor who deprives him of his living; he sheds blood who denies the laborer his wages." (Sirach 34: 22,23)
The source of sustenance for welfare programs comes from the private sector. This is the government's main source for collecting taxes. The needy should be taught this so that they know the source for their welfare payments needs to be strengthened. They have to stop thinking the government needs to be strengthened because it is not their source for sustenance. The government does not create profit. They just tax citizens to make their profit for many burdensome and ineffective programs. I've heard how many government workers are lazy and even back-stabbing, and issues are never resolved properly. We cannot destroy the source of our prosperity by solely relying on the government, but must strengthen our private sector. Welfare programs already take up half of the expenses of the economy. We are at the tipping point to create an efficient balance between the laborer and the needy. Politicians need to establish this vital link between the needy and the laborer. Children are not taught this in schools, and they need to know this vital information.
