On the other hand, if our culture fears individuals exploiting a welfare state, then it will see each immigrant as an interloper. Learn more
The government has a fiduciary responsibility to assure that every dollar it spends is of substantial benefit to them. Investment in industry and enterprise should be left entirely to the people, not the government. Learn more
