However. this week we are trying again. Our welfare reform plan is built upon five principles. we call them pillars. We believe that welfare should not be a way of life. we feel that welfare should be replaced with work. we want to shift power and flexibility back to the States so that they can run their own welfare programs for their own residents. we believe that noncitizens and felons should not receive welfare. and we think that personal responsibility should be encouraged in order to halt rising illegitimacy rates in America. Make no mistake about it. our present welfare system has contributed to soaring rates of illegitimacy and family disintegration in America to the point where today almost one out of three births are out of wedlock. We believe that welfare should be a helping hand in times of trouble. not a handout that becomes a way of life.
