Government assistance?
Undoubtedly.
But they treat it like "assistance", not a career path.

Federal Anti-Poverty Programs Primarily Help the GOP's Base


https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...curity/516861/

Even as congressional Republicans mobilize for a new drive to retrench federal anti-poverty efforts, whites without a college degree—the cornerstone of the modern GOP electoral coalition—have emerged as principal beneficiaries of those programs, according to a study released Thursday morning.

Btw, Trump won on the backs of......

Working-class whites are the biggest beneficiaries of federal poverty-reduction programs, even though blacks and Hispanics have substantially higher rates of poverty, according to a new study to be released Thursday by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

That's because non-whites saw welfare as a career opportunity, as Tom suggested. But their careers were cut short by government rules and regs.

Whites get more welfare - OF COURSE!

From hcap:

Of course they do. Whites outnumber Latinos by about 4-1 and outnumber blacks by about 5-1. It a numbers problem.


See population by race table here:

From the link I posted read carefully please,


....found that in both percentage terms and absolute numbers, federal programs reduced poverty among working-age whites without a college degree more than they did among non-college-educated Hispanics, African Americans, or members of other races, and far more than they did among college-educated adults of any race. The number of these working-age whites, in fact, exceeded the combined number of non-college-educated blacks, Hispanics, and members of other races that made such gains. Your simplistic criticism is just that. Simplistic. Rates as in percentages were considered

Further...

The study’s biggest surprise may be how many of those beneficiaries are the non-college-educated whites critical to GOP fortunes. The study found that without accounting for government benefits, the poverty rate stood at nearly 25 percent for working-age white adults in families where no one holds at least a four-year college degree. That represents 14.1 million people in all.

Where is the survey showing how many of the white beneficiaries were actually GOP voters?

But even if the majority of them were/are, this demonstrates the very different mindsets between whites and non-whites in terms of how they view welfare benefits. As Tom has said (essentially), it appears whites, generally, are not interested in making a career out of welfare addiction.

This must the left's values as mentioned in another thread.

Other "hate speech" according to the left - Electoral College, rule of law, national security, due process......
