The democrats are famous for offering government assistance programs in exchange for votes
They could care less about the poor, it's all for votes and power and it's keeping the poor, poor.
ATLANTA — A new, university study demonstrates that many of the government benefits the state offers actually discourage poor people from adopting more productive behaviors.
“At least in some earnings ranges, the tax-benefit system discourages low-income people from investing in education and training, discourages labor supply, encourages fertility, and provides little incentive to marry or to remain so. To the extent that households are aware of and respond to such incentives, the tax-benefit system creates poverty traps rather than promoting behaviors that enable families to escape poverty,” wrote the authors from Georgia State University. One is an economics professor and the others are students working at the university’s Fiscal Research Center in the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies.http://onlineathens.com/local-news/2013-03-13/study-welfare-programs-discourage-work-marriage
