They live for the moment rather than build for the future. They breed to maximize their monthly dole from Uncle Sam. They victimize taxpayers who are forced to fund their cheating. Collectively, they shift resources downward from hardworking producers to undeserving takers.These myths surrounding welfare are particularly virulent and more intensely damning, vindictive, and punitive because they target poor people and people of color. They are also very misleading in perpetuating the misconception that all welfare spending flows to low-income Americans.Related myths blame Democrats and government in general, as they tax hardworking Americans in order to carelessly expand welfare to support their lazy constituents.
