WHY?


Jihad Bums



As most have already heard, the brothers Tsarnaev lived on the taxpayer dole before bombing the Boston Marathon.  The American response to this revelation is nicely summed up on the cover of The Boston Herald, in big, bold print: "WHAT NERVE."
Yes, how dare they?  How dare they take our money and then hate us for giving it to them?  How could they do such a thing?


It's really rather simple why we have this reaction.  Americans have an improper understanding of what welfare actually is.  Many among us believe it to be charity and have the naiveté to believe that it will be accepted by poor, beleaguered beneficiaries as such.
But welfare bestows entitlement, not charity -- and its result is not gratitude, but resentment.
