When it started in the 1970s under President Nixon. they thought there had to be some incentive so that you would get more money by working than by drawing welfare. or else you would just stay home and draw welfare. There still is a problem with that. in reality. But this bill was supposed to incentivize work. and that is why it was drafted the way it was anid has continued to grow and become quite substantial. But. again. it was designed to take care of American citizens. our own people. Now. we are into an immigration reform bill where we have 12 million peopie here who came into our country illegally. They are being considered for amnesty. They are going to be allowed to stay in this country and be given that right.
