The idea that using taxpayer money to support people in living lives of the greatest creativity and productivity means supporting an entitlement mentality among the poor, is an expression of the most outrageous entitlement mentality among the rich and powerful that I can imagine.

Or you could learn basic economics. Man acts in his perceived self interest in accordance with his time preference. Giving money to people outside of voluntary exchange causes unproductive behavior.

That is not basic economics, it is soulless nonsense posing as economic theory. Every human being is born with a God-given desire to create. Check your theory against any Montessori kindergarten.

Cycles of generational poverty, wealth gaps, and single parenthood have all increased in American communities since the advent of nationalized welfare amid the great society movement but somehow I鈥檓 heartless for looking at the economic realities instead of white lib feelgooderry

Those things did not happen because we helped people; Great Society programs helped to alleviate poverty, not exacerbate it. They happened because we started withholding help, with a massive transfer of wealth into the hands of 1% that began in 1980.

Your knowledge of us economic history is shockingly bad. The Reaganite policies of the 80s were evil and existed to increase the consolidation of power and wealth in the hands of the already wealthy and powerful. So has been every major US economic decision since the 1780s.
