The difference between liberals and me is I believe programs should be a hand out to help people up. Once they are, then they an support themselves. I don't believe in life long programs for anyone capable of supporting themselves but choose to be lazy and rely 100% on government assistance.
On the personal side, I have given employees money to buy a car to get to work. I have helped people manage their finances. I have helped people with loans with zero interest long pay back times. I believe in personally helping those in need. If everyone felt that way, the world would be a better place.
There are many people of all races born into poverty. The reason is their parents don't have a work ethic and as a result we see generations of families leaving on welfare. But, every person has a choice. They could do like many who work 2 and 3 jobs to get ahead. There is money to be made today, employers can't fill all the jobs. Restaurants are hiring at $18 to $20 an hour, but a person needs to be dependable and willing to work hard. There are many hispanics who work at least 2 full time jobs. Again, work ethic can dig you out of poverty or lack of work ethic can keep you in poverty.
