The Republicunts Go Marie Antoinette One Better

When you make unsupported blanket statements about the poor, you're going to get some shit around here. Such as, that this welfare is highly abused. Damn poor people 'abusing' the very system that otherwise doesn't give a fuck about them.

And your 'solutions' are impractical in America.

Well it is, is it not? It just begs to be abused because the poor who are on it don't see the reason in being poor workers. I don't condemn those who abuse it, they simply don't have a better alternative other than to be on welfare. What, find a job and still eat the same food while your life standards won't get any higher?
Why work, for fucksake?
And they don't, they do abuse the welfare system. Not to say that there aren't those who cannot work and need the support of society, however I'm sure that there are a lot of able bodied people who are on it.
If a system gets abused, it means it's not working properly. However you are defending a system that gets both abused, and is not really a solution to poverty in any way.
And call me heartless for discussing other alternatives.
As for practicality, do you believe that giving money or food to poor people is actually the solution for anything? Except in times like great famines, or natural disasters, epidemics, and etc, such things should not be the solution.
Poor people exist everywhere, and frankly, those who don't work in any way, contribute very little to society. The solution is not to throw at them your leftovers, but to give them a means to earn their own money without looking back to a less-exhausting alternative. But these people choose welfare over work, because working holds no extra benefits for these people.

The reason that welfare abuse is not 100% is not because poor people are not prone to abuse it. It's not just poor people, everyone in this world looks for a hand-out or a way to get easy money or a day's sustenance. Poor people aren't really different, they'd live on welfare for the rest of their lives if the government supplied them with it.
