The main reason American born don't use as much welfare is because they don't qualify for it: they're white men.
@Zeb
Many of us are too principled. I lived on the streets and ate out of dumpsters for a couple years. Other than college Pell grants, I never took any government assistance.
@Bernard
Me neither. The only thing I got as assistance was a loan (which I paid back) they offered for businesses during covid.
But that's just how we're wired, we see ourselves as naturally capable and hate undeserved handouts.
White men really need to get together and gatekeep their countries with an iron fist.
