Helping people to become self-sufficient is much more compassionate than drugging them with the narcotic of welfare.” PeopleThinkingNeedsShouldSelfHelpingGovernmentPoliticalPoliticsIndividualHurtCompassionProgramEconomicsDignityDestroyedWelfareSufficientDependentCyclesCompassionateHelping PeopleDependencySelf SufficientNarcotics Author:Rush Limbaugh
