Years ago, I worked with an IE from NC State who had polio when he was young. Milt struggled to get around the plant with his crutches. He raised his family and never asked for any special treatment.

By today's standards, he would never have to work; would get housing assistance; free medical care; free drugs; a free cell phone; his children would get free meals at school; and on and on. Yet, he was never on any type of welfare system.

Why was Milt able to be a productive citizen and yet others today are totally dependent on the state for everything? We have created a citizenry of welfare addicts.
