She is out there, hiding in the 2012 presidential race. She has twelve Social Security cards, benefits from four fake dead husbands, and collects food stamps while owning a Cadillac. The 'Welfare Queen' is an infamous character who has re-emerged in the year's presidential race. People are accusing the three leading Republican presidential candidates of restoring the 'Welfare Queens'. They call President Obama the "food stamp president," and declaring that America is moving towards an "entitlement society."
What is the Welfare Queen?
Ronald Reagan invented her and Americans buy the lie. Others believe don't fall for the lie. "This image of the lazy African-American woman who refuses to get a job and keeps having kids is pretty enduring. It's always been a good way to distract the public from any meaningful conversations about poverty and inequality." The Welfare Queen is known as a legendary character in political circles.
