In the not to distant past, people were put on welfare because of the poverty they lived in. Today however, one major political party has learned that by keeping people on welfare they can assure themselves that poverty will continue to exist and that poverty can be used as a political issue. Guess it's a little like the eternal question, "which came first, the Chicken or the Egg"? In today's world does welfare promote poverty, or does poverty promote welfare?
