“By government giveaway programs, individuals are often hurt far more than they are helped. The recipients of these programs become dependent on the government and their dignity is destroyed. Is it compassionate to enslave more and more people by making them a part of the government dependency cycle? I think compassion should be measured by how many people no longer need it. Helping people to become self-sufficient is much more compassionate than drugging them with the narcotic of welfare.” PeopleThinkingNeedsShouldSelfHelpingGovernmentPoliticalPoliticsIndividualHurtCompassionProgramEconomicsDignityDestroyedWelfareSufficientDependentCyclesCompassionateHelping PeopleDependencySelf SufficientNarcotics Author:Rush Limbaugh
