Dr. Ben Carson believes that the current welfare system in the United States is not doing the poor any favors and he is supports his argument at various platforms. On Tuesday, he appears on “The View” and explained the reasons of his believe.
Dr. Ben Carson: “When you rob someone of their incentive to go out there and improve themselves, you are not doing them any favors”
“When you take somebody and pat them on the head and say, ‘There there, you poor little thing… Let me give you housing subsidies, let me give you free health care because you can’t do that.’”
“What would be much more empowering is to use our intellect and our resources to give those people a way up and out,” he concluded.
His perceptive response actually moved actor Terry Crews to join the audience in giving a round of applause.
Crews responded: “I agree,” and clapping along with the audience.

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg exposed that once she was a “welfare mother” and argued that very few people actually want to be on welfare and would rather work.
Whoopi Goldberg: “I don’t feel bad about being a welfare mother because I contribute as an American. Because the welfare system is so bizarre, you can’t work, they don’t allow you to work because they take the money from you. So if we fix the system so that it doesn’t hurt the people, maybe they’ll get better.”
