VIDEO: Proof Obama Wants Black Children To Remain In Poverty; His Plan All Along Was To Increase Welfare Rolls!

President Obama admits in this video he was "not a huge supporter of the Federal plan [welfare reform] that was signed in 1996."

From 1970 until 1996, the percentage of Black children living in poverty hovered steadily around 45%, with little or no change for 25 years.

From 1996 through 2001 that percentage drastically fell to 30%

From Stop The ACLU:

Proof once again that Democrats want to enlarge welfare rolls, destroy the lives of citizens, make everyone poorer, and create a permanent underclass that they can count on for votes.

What they've done is murder welfare reform in the middle of the night!

Prior to 1996, the way welfare worked: the more people a state put on welfare, the more money they received from the Federal government.

With the reforms, states were issued a flat amount of money. If they reduced the welfare rolls, they got to keep the surplus, if the rolls went up, the states would have to deal with that.

What the CRAPulus Bill has done, it reverse this completely.

The Under Cover of Darkness Generational Theft Act of 2009 provides that for every additional person a state puts on welfare, the Federal government will cover 80% of the cost.

"They're effectively bribing the states to raise their welfare rolls."

Now why do you suppose President Obama and the Liberals would want to encourage the states to increase their welfare rolls?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. They don't want people to succeed; they want as many people as possible dependant on the government. The more people who remain underprivileged and shackled to Uncle Sam's wallet, the more votes the Democrats can secure.

It's all very simple, albeit highly clever on the part of Democrats. Yes, it's true the "Stimulus" bill has absolutely nothing to do with helping the American economy and it has everything to do with establishing a permanent voting majority.

This is socialism, folks! In just one month Obama and Pelosi have successfully altered the philosophy and foundation of American society.

Robert E. Rector and Katherine Bradley have more on this at Heritage.
