Poverty?

How many government programs can an US citizen get their hands on if they are out of work, not much money in the bank, and do not really own any property [as defined by Webster]? From my research by just googling very little, I have got at least a dozen I can apply right now for and be eligible if I am below the line classified as "the needy" group. I could get food, shelter, and even cable based on the fact I would have nothing. The question is: why would people complain we have poverty? By the sound of what I have discovered, why would someone complain about having nothing when they can get everything? My answer: They want more without doing anything. These people will argue and fuss for more than what is out there. They do not want to buy medical insurance, hey lets get the government to nationalize it. Can't get a loan or morage? Hey Government! Hook me up! I don't want to get my lazy butt up and find a job, get me food! shelter! DANG! Understanding that the government was created by our founding fathers to be a small government that stands out of the people's way so that we may progress and presue our dreams without having these obstacles obstructing our way. Truth is that it is human nature to take the easy way out. Why work if someone else can pay, why try when it is handed to you. Society is at a point to just let government say what to do and what is right, to take away our voice, and rule. Government owning everything, they have power! A great quote, "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." We the people our giving our government power over us, they can control us more now then ever...what happens when they own over 50% of the economy...even more? Government in the past has never been able to sucessfully control economy, why can it start now? Remember poverty is just a mindset that anyone can overcome.
