Nick Sementelli: "The key is to recognize that the dependency critique indirectly alleges the same character defects as the "moocher" narrative. It's just a kinder, gentler way to say the poor are government-enabled welfare addicts who are too lazy to work. So long as they can live large on the taxpayer's dime, the theory goes, they have no incentive to change. "Breaking the cycle" then means cutting them off cold turkey like parents kicking out a shiftless adult to give him the motivation to finally get a job."
