VIDEO: PROSPERITY IS A BY-PRODUCT OF LIBERTY

THE WELFARE STATE HASN'T AND CANNOT END POVERTY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY SUBSIDIZES POVERTY AND CREATES DEPENDENTS AND INCENTIVIZES DEPENDENCY.

EXAMPLE: 
IN DENMARK - AN ADVANCED WELFARE STATE - AN IMMIGRANT FAMILY OF FOUR CAN GET THE EQUIVALENT OF $80,000 DOLLARS IN VARIOUS SUBSIDIES FOR HOUSING AND FOOD AND OTHER NECESSITIES. 
SINCE GETTING A JOB THAT CAN PAY $80,000 IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE, MANY MAKE THE REASONABLE  - THOUGH IMMORAL - DECISION TO REMAIN DEPENDENTS. 
SO YOU SEE, IT'S NOT A NATIONAL OR CULTURAL ISSUE. IT'S ECONOMIC. POOR PEOPLE NEED FREEDOM AND OPPORTUNITY - NOT A HANDOUT.
