   Come now, all you anti welfare proponents. Your claim is that welfare is   
   bad for people, it stupefies them, drains their initiative.   
          But look! Living proof how welfare engenders ambition and causes   
   a guy to become a go-getter, a plus to society. A man who generates work   
   for others.   
         So what if he bent a technicality to get funds to get started.   
   What great Canadian enterprises didn't. Seagrams, MacDonald tobacco?   
   This is the kind of resourcefulness that one needs to be a winner.   
            Yes long live welfare it acts as an impetus to create   
   entrepreneurs.
