Why do you have a problem with people receiving GOV assistants but not corporations?

That is a FACT! [/quote] Not if you're not a female who can claim kids. Being not-the-wrong-skin-color probably helps too, according to what I've heard. This is an important point. People who support these social programs should always think "if I needed it, could I get it?" [b]They will often find that the answer is NO[/b], but you're not supposed to think about that. [/quote] :bsflag: Go look at the stats. Ten seconds and you will realize you are dead wrong on that one. PLENTY of single, white dads with no kids on welfare. [/quote]

A lot of you people here on GLP seem to think people on welfare(the vets, the disabled, the old, people who make under 20k) are the problem. But there is no outrage or anger for the companies who make billions yet find ways to stick their hands in the pot. When you come one here and make threads about people who receive "handouts" when most of them actually need all the help they can get but fail to mention companies who exploit gov assistants you look like a bunch of selective problem solving hypocrite. How can you sit behind your screen and bash these people yet turn the other way at the real problem. Its like the cop who would rather chase down someone peeing in an ally instead of the guy mugging down the street.
We need to do better.
