...hate is the welfare system: "The tragedy of relief is that it has taken away from people the drive to work. I deplore a system that regards the indiscriminate handing out of checks as its prime function, that subsidizes the lazy and immoral home with the tax payer's dollar." To stem Philadelphia's juvenile crime (up 27% last year), Judge Stout, who is married but childless, advocates taking children away from relief homes and raising them in public dormitories where they can be urged to buckle down to schoolwork...
