Many poor are mentally ill and are unable to hold down a job.

If they're too mentally unstable to qualify for a job, how do they manage to know how to go to a welfare office? I have no doubt that some homeless people are mentally ill, but this isn't anyone's fault. Should we help those who cannot help themselves? Yes. But we should not help those who can help themselves yet refuse to work. That's my problem with the welfare system. More people would also be able to support themselves if taxes weren't so high and if fiat currency and central banking weren't destroying the value of the dollar through inflation.

Yes, it is true that there are some people that do take advantage of government. The ones that really do need help are often overlooked.

Look, enough with the speculation, produce and present evidence that people who need help aren't getting it. I've donated my time to help the homeless. I've spoken to many of these people. Some said they wouldn't go back to a job if a free job was offered. If you want to watch a good documentary on the subject, go rent "Dark Days." These people finally were helped, BY THE INITIATIVE OF A PRIVATE CHARITY - not by government.
