Grover Cleveland on socialist welfare

A quote from a Democrat President before Dems were overthrown by socialist doctrine.....
Grover Cleveland:
"I feel obliged to withhold my approval of the plan as purposed by this bill, to indulge a benevolent and charitable sentiment through the approriations of public funds for that purpose. I can find NO warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution, and I do not believe that the power and the duty of the General Government ought to extend to the relief of individual suffering which is in no manner properly related to the public service or benefit. A prevalent tendency to disregard the limited mission of this power and duty should I think, be steadfastly resisted, to the end that the lesson should be constantly enforced that though the people support the Government the government should not support the people...The friendliness and charity of our countrymen can always be relied upon to relieve their fellow-citizens in misfortune. This has been repeatedly and quite lately demonstrated. Federal aid in such cases encourages the
expectation of parental care on the part of the Government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character, while it prevents the indulgence among our people of that kindly sentiment and conduct which strengthens the bonds of a common brotherhood."
