RE: The life of a welfare queen

I'm linking an article from Slate that does an excellent job of exposing the origin of Reagan's 'welfare queen' schtick. The gist is that there are individuals that take advantage of the system; however, generalizing about widespread fraud in the name of the now stereotyped 'welfare queen' is misguided.

Lengthy piece, but well worth the read.
