To all the twits against welfare, I guarantee you that if you lose your job and your family is hungry, you WILL go on assistance if you can't find a job.

That is a FACT!

And still be on it years later???  Or even a second generation on it?

What ever happened to people moving to find work as some of us and definitely our parents had to do?

No one is talking about social security or veterans benefits which are things people paid into.  It's the 100% free deal that is bankrupting the country.

The only way I know to stop it is if we all sign up for everything we can get and I completely intend to do so.  It's not right that some people be given free money taken from others.

Have you actually seen how some of these people live on welfare?

It's no vacation, they just learn to live [i]really [/i]cheaply.

It's the welfare laws that allow it, they just found a way to jump through loopholes.

Sound familiar?

Yes, I have.  Getting rent assistance from HUD after putting their car in their kids' name, they live better than I do!  Eat out more often, have total free time and full medical coverage.  Meanwhile some months I have to skip my more expensive prescriptions because I can't afford them while I pay taxes for these people who live better a better lifestyle than I can afford for myself.

And yes, some people live in squalor but I think it has more to do with how they manage the government aid and other factors such as where they live.

POP!

Not at all. What I do NOT want is people being totally subsidized by the government living BETTER than I do while I have to work and pay taxes and they do not do either of those things.

I really want us ALL to play by the same rules as Obama says.
[/quote]

If they're living better than you, you're not doing very well at all.

It's not just cash and food they get.

I know people that pay 10 dollars a month for electricity and another 10 for gas...all year long for years.  That's it. The only way to get on these programs is to be destitute and jobless. So, they make themselves destitute to get the benefits because working for minimum wage is almost impossible these days. They have a better, freer life on welfare. Not necessarily a better [i]way [/i]of life.

On the side, they find other things to do such as fix cars or clean house for cash and don't pay any taxes to this crooked fucking government o spend on war and death.

I really don't see the problem here IF it's the collapse of this government that we are all seeking.
[/quote]

Actually I don't either, as long as everyone including white people has equal access to these programs and benefits.

This is not the case according to much anecdotal evidence.  We even had a thread about that once here on GLP and several people agreed.  This has got to stop.  The welfare lifestyle , such as it is, must be available for everybody or for nobody.

Original Message 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.
