Transcription

Mitchell: We challenge the right of a welfare program to contribute to the rise of slums, to the rise of illegitimacy, to the rise of social diseases among children and adults. We challenge the right of moral chiselers and loafers to squat on the relief rolls forever. We challenge the right of freeloaders to make more on relief than when working. We challenge the right of those on relief to loaf by state and federal edict, and we challenge the right of people to quit jobs at will and go on relief like spoiled children. We challenge the right of a welfare program to contribute to the losses of assessed valuation, to the wreckage of an entire business and residential district.
