'I've been on food stamps and welfare. Anybody help me out? No.'

I just saw this nine-second clip (uploaded in 2009) of actor Craig T. Nelson ‘gives us all a lesson in how personal responsibility beats government intervention. “I’ve been on foodstamps and welfare, did anyone help me out? No.”’

It’s never a handout to the recipient. It’s only a handout to those undeserving lazy people. :rolleyes:

Well, capitalism seems to be about winners and losers. Most people must be losers for the system to work. Can’t let all the losers starve. It’s not like they can go off in the woods and live off the land.

I think we have had a thread about this Craig T. Nelson video before, perhaps back when it first came out. It is a bit like the “Keep the government’s hands of my Medicare” thing. Just cluelessness, I think.

Or 'Don’t steal from Medicare to fund socialized medicine! :eek: ’

Or Dr. Ben Carson being glad his Welfare mom wasn’t dependent on the government.
