The Food Stamp Factor is Killing Our Republic

| Wayne Winsley(R) ran against Connecticut Congresswoman Rosa Delauro (D). During his 2012 campaign, he made frequent stops in Middletown to reach out to locals. He is a motivational speaker, radio host, author of the Conservative Capitalist Blog & Founder of Brave Enough to Fail. |
I grew up poor, Black, inner-city dwelling, and was raised
by a single parent, in my case, my great grandmother. I’ve been on welfare and
actually used food stamps. In short, I’m the picture that many liberals hold up
when they stridently declare, “We have to do something to help these poor
people!”
Here’s what I know from first-hand experience. Food Stamps,
while helpful in the short term, will not lift you out of poverty, only your
hard work and individual choices can do that. There is not a single government
program that has ever made one person financially independent. Only you can do
that for you.
The major flaw in the well-meaning government largess
aimed at helping people that look like me and others who don’t, and winning the
“war on poverty” is that it is killing our work ethic and sense of individual
responsibility.
This nation cannot survive if the majority of the population is
depending on others or the father figure government to do the achieving
for them. We must dial back the entitlement mentality or our Republic
will indeed be lost.

pursue their dreams on their on terms and to see their education as way
to do it.
Thank you.
Sure, lets eliminate food stamps. Children achieve so much better when they are starving, everyone knows that. Certainly the way out of poverty is to donate to a "charity" that Winsley uses to lift himself out of poverty.
ReplyDeleteWhy does this post or any other allow "anonymous " to post?
ReplyDeleteIf you have something to say, say it with your name attached!
Since the "Insider" is anonymous it would seem odd for the Insider to ban anonymous comments.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that Winsley asks for a "donation" without disclosing that any money given just goes to his for profit business. Brave Enough to Fail is not a charity or non profit, it is Winsley's business. I would also like people to "donate" their hard earned money into my pocket, in exchange for which I will tell kids if they work hard they will get ahead. Save your money and tell Winsley to follow his own advice and get a real job instead of scamming.
