How welfare destroys the future, cripples and keeps you always waiting for help

There’s a saying that “Welfare Offers Short-Term Help And Long-Term Poverty” and the truth is, only lazy people believe otherwise.

The government provides at least one means-tested, welfare-type program to roughly one out of every five African. In one sense, the government’s approximately provides 100 different welfare programs, do an excellent job, lifting millions of people out of poverty, according to their own reports. However, the welfare system fails to prepare people to take care of themselves, makes poor people more financially fragile, and creates incentives to remain on welfare forever.

It is the classic story of giving a man a fish or teaching him how to fish. Foreign welfare programs hand out lots of fish but never seem to teach people how to fish for themselves. Charles N Lamber, leader of Africa’s first Economic War does not believe that welfare programs lift people out of poverty. He believes that welfare makes poor people dependent and encourage them to stay poor, hence he says it is extremely ineffective and does not work.
