I don’t know why but human nature is wired to get something that we have attained through our own effort not from the kindness of others.

There is a place for kindness in this world; we wouldn’t have light without it but a world without our being able to put something into it, literally kills us on the inside.

That's exactly the argument Gingrich put forth in the 90's to attain welfare reform. It worked as Clinton caved and passed it, but all those reforms have been undone by Obama and blue states, so we're back to generational welfare and lost generations.

No wonder it didn’t ‘hold’ for long. If that’s the basis for ‘welfare-reform’, he needs a better standing.

I’d suggest using the Constitution instead: 5th & 13th specifically.

Once you discuss ‘stealing from one to give to another’ THEN you can debate ‘*feelings* of self-worth’ (which, IMO, has been bred out over 60yrs of Uncle Sugar being the ‘new daddy’).
