State of Idaho secondary Archives: on Welfare & Poverty


Ammon Bundy: End welfare; leave it to churches and charities

Welfare is a destructive element in a free society. Truly, welfare is nothing more than legal plunder in the name of "helping the poor." As Governor of Idaho, I will work to minimize and ultimately eliminate welfare in the state of Idaho. The poor are better and more efficiently cared for by churches, charities, and private institutions--it is not the role of the government to redistribute wealth or to steal from one to give to another.
