From the census:
21.3% of US Participates in Government Assistance Programs Each Month
The black population: At 41.6 percent, blacks were more likely to participate in government assistance programs in an average month.
The black participation rate was followed by Hispanics at 36.4 percent, Asians or Pacific Islanders at 17.8 percent, and
non-Hispanic whites at 13.2 percent.
Female-householder families: At 50 percent, people in female-householder families had the highest rates of participation in major means-tested programs.
The rates for people in married-couple families and male-householder families were 14.7 percent and 29.5 percent, respectively.
Minorities and single mothers...make up most of the people on welfare. Stop being disingenuous.

I do not endorse gov subsidizing billion dollar industry, such as Obama funding a failed solar power company. I do not consider tax breaks where they get to keep their money as being subsidized. But, I do realize that liberals feel that tax money is theirs, so therefore if you get to keep the money you earned, you consider it gov subsidized.
I have no problem with helping those that really require it. I would venture to say that at least half of those getting welfare could be taken off of it IF they were required to work. Minimum wage jobs have never been considered career jobs, so anyone that wishes to live like that does it because they wish to, not because the have to. If they want to work minimum wage jobs as a career, then let them work two or three jobs like I did in bad times. These folks that CAN work and don't, are taking resources that the old and handicapped should be getting.
I have no use for the lazy. If they refuse to work, then let them perish. That's their choice and not my responsibility. We have enough mentally impaired in this world that we don't need to support the unmotivated.

Those subsidies went to corporations, "liberals" didn't get it. He was referring to fast food and Walmart where people get wages too low to survive on.
The "good" jobs are all gone, off shored because unions and affirmative action made americans too expensive.
Make women responsible for their kids...that would eliminate 1/2 the welfare right there. Keep your legs closed. You weren't raped, you couldn't control yourselves. Don't blame the man.
Children and their support makes up the lions share of welfare.
I'm telling you, reproduction can't be a "right" if it affects so many so greatly. We need to figure out how to stop literal idiots from having a dozen kids that we end up paying for and suffering from.
