"Over the weekend, Mayor Robert MacDonald appeared on Fox & Friends to explain his plan to shame welfare recipients by publishing their name and address.
Motley, who is president of Less Government, insisted to Fox News host Steve Doocy on Monday that shame had the power to motivate people.
“We know it is because the left has warped and redirected it, and wants to shame taxpayers for not paying enough taxes and for wanting to know what government money is being used to do,” Motley said. “Government does a terrible job of tracking how they spend our money.”
“If we publish the welfare recipients, we’ll track it,” Motley continued. “We know there’s widespread welfare abuse. Government doesn’t seem to care to do anything about reining it in. If the American taxpayers who are paying the freight know who’s getting welfare, they can’t keep a better eye on who’s abusing the system, etc. And perhaps we can do some real serious welfare reform.”
