Welfare. See the various definitions below. How did a perfectly honorable/noble word like "welfare" fall so low that it is now used as an epithet?

WELFARE

"The good fortune, health, happiness, prosperity etc. of a person, group or organization. Well-being.

Financial or other assistance to an individual or family from a city, state or national government.

A governmental agency that provides funds and  aid to people in need, especially those unable to work

Receiving financial aid from the government or from a private organization because of hardship and need.

Nowhere does it mention lazy-bum handouts or welfare Queens. Why is that how it is used today by so many? How did it get mangled,pretzelized and basta**ized? Why,by whom and for what purpose?
