So it appears your not against all government handouts - just those to the poor and non-whites.
As for the unemployment rate it's a useless figure from a 1947 ILO convention. You need only work one hour in the week of the survey to be counted as employed.
It also doesn't address the working poor in the USA and incomes inequality.
