The [[Republican Party]]'s "solutions" to the problems of poverty seem to boil down primarily to blaming the poor for their own situation, i.e. no solution at all. This basic philosophy is sold using a variety of euphamisms:
* "personal responsibility"
* welfare "creates dependency"
* being on welfare is undignified (apparently more undignified than being homeless)
* not receiving welfare is "ennobling" [http://m.dailykos.com/story/2014/11/18/1345795/-Gov-Mike-Pence-says-not-giving-food-to-the-unemployed-will-ennoble-them]

 The justification for this position seems to boil down to [[wikipedia:Just-world hypothesis|a belief]] that {{l/sub|life is fair|myths}}, and therefore those who have fallen on hard times must have brought it on themselves. When confronted with the accusation that this is "victim-blaming", Republicans and [[conservatroll]]s tend to confirm it by saying that they don't believe in victims.
