This crap will never die, will it?

On Twitter this morning:

"If you voted for obama and your one of the few not on welfare you support the idea of the masses being on welfare so u might as well be"

The ignorance never ceases to astound me.

of those welfare moms driving around in a cadillac!

i work with a man - a well educated, smart man who is one of my favorite people here otherwise - who actually believes that poor non-white women are having babies as a revenue stream.

he really believes that.

the numbers of people benefiting from welfare is down to about 1.7%, and the states that benefit most from welfare funding generally vote republican.
