Undestroyer Truth User ID: 48045329 United States 12/26/2013 12:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Maybe if we actually made these people get a job and do something with their lives, we wouldn't be hated by the rest of the world. The way I see it, if your not old or disabled, work or starve. Why should I bust my butt to pay for some fat loser to eat cream puffs and make meth all day. Quoting: MIgardener Or maybe we should replace welfare with a work program, like the ones from the depression. Making roads, digging ditches, etc.. they still get their checks, if they work. That's the problem problem with this generation, they think everything should be handed to them. They want to start out at $20 an hour. They'd rather live off food stamps than clean the bathrooms at McDonald's. I agree with that sentiment. People need help. That's understandable. People should have to serve the community to benefit from it. I mean just handing it to them simply perpetuates the myth of victimization and inadequacy and continues to spiral downward from there. America should also stop giving so much money to rich people in other countries as well. Also, continuing to fund the military industrial complex and other government sponsored programs the way we do has led to a lot of corruption as well. Of course ending all of this would put a crimp in the Fed's plan to make the world reliant on the US gov... the new father Christmas... you get the idea.... Its been out of our (people's) control for awhile now. Hopefully reaching out to enough people who are willing to act on this message in the political arena could bring some change. Otherwise and even then its a pretty much up hill battle. No one ever said life was supposed to be easy. You cannot destroy my vision when you see my vision undestroyed because I am just an undestroyer.

The question is what will replace it, will it be better or worse? Banned as usual. “It is far easier to be a weakling than to be a Real Man. Were the Earth less harsh or the circumstances of life less austere, man would destroy himself before the shrine of the languid goddess. Only Real Men can with safety destroy the tangled forests and wilderness of Earth and make from them gardens, but will those who inherit the gardens be Real Men? The law decrees that they must be, or the wilderness will reclaim its own.” |

Corporate Bail Outs (Welfare) 3. And close the borders to Illegals and deport those Illegals who reside here. Then and only then can we deal with true Welfare problems involving our citizens.

When they get out of jail they don't have to pay the state back for child support the state paid while they were in jail. I think they should have to pay the state back. Quoting: Dirtyboy What? The spouse shouldn't get JACK if the man's in jail. That's really messed up. That's not what he said fuck face. What he said was when dude gets out of jail dude should have to pay the state back for all the welfare his wife/baby momma and bastards sucked off the teet while dude was in jail. I agree. Doing what exactly ? been to jail ? damn near impossible for people to get job even worse if they have a record . So then what smarto ? Going to put them back in jail at 40 k a pop or more per person for non payment ? LOL They can starve for all I care. |

However over the years it's become a crutch for the bone idol to live off, completely the opposite of what it's intended for. Quoting: Buster_Cap_In_Yo_Ass Help people for a maximum of 12 months, if you're able bodied and haven't found work after 12 months there is something seriously fucked up with what you are doing (or not doing) to find work. And as such you have the payments stopped. Illegals men work for cash. Their baby mommas have anchor babies so they get a full ride, everything is free. The Illegal guy works for all the fun stuff: cerveza, eat out tacos, crappy car. They are happy. Americans cant get that. |

This means US will have to be serious about protecting it's citizens from outsourcing, illegal labor and protecting intellectual property from being used by foreign companies. It's real work that we tax payers pay for and it's a crime that we don't get these services from our government. |

No kick back docs. or sleazy lawyers who live off of disability claim just military Dr.s, physical therapists and so on. Don't pass, your cut off before your out the door, claiming full disability when you could do something - benefits reduced to your disability %. This approach is for the so called 'walking wounded' not obvious cases like those who have considerable M.R and D.D. problems, bed ridden and so on. An appeals process can be set up w/ a civilian Dr. stating your case for you. This can be done so it is just enough effort on the docs part that they wont be doing this for just anyone that asks. Not doing so when they believe a mistake has been made and latter proven to be the case could result in some form of penalty. Those caught scamming the system can be dealt w/ by using laws already on the books. I see no reason for the abuse of a system meant to exhibit social compassion unless it is being used for something else like hiding the true state of our economy by issuing disability after unemployment runs out. I spent years working for a rehab company that took care of several hundred people w/ a variety of disabilities, some profound (veg. state, quads, serious mental disorders (12 yr. old w/ brain of an infant actually it was just weird blobs attached to a brain stem). The majority though had a degree of function from moderate to high and guess what those people did 5 day's a week - they had jobs. I took advantage of all the classes and certs. available which were a lot and ended up in the vocational dept. (and yes fucked up people could set something like this up for the purpose of screwing over the clients but this was very above board) The clients loved it as it put cash in their pocket and it helped the larger cause. The high function ones were into it as they were usually PTSDed vets who after getting on good ground had boredom to fight, Give them some work, a sense of accomplishment and contributing. Drug and booze issues were minimal. So not only have I seen and worked in a functioning system to help disabled people work and feel better about their life, I'm put together w/ bone grafts, metal, have extensive nerve damage and get around this world in a very cool Formula 1 engineer designed wheel chair. Oh yeah I take nothing by way of a disability from any of your paychecks as I work and have been known to do so 70 to 90 hrs. a week for many weeks running. Faking a disability? I have some friends that would like to meet you, they may be crippled but they surely are not lazy. For the fakes - For those on the road I am - |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 3063399 United States 12/26/2013 01:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | considering that 90% of welfare is paid out to blacks - do you really want a bunch of angry, probably armed as soon as they can steal a gun, starving blacks looking for someone to rob? That would be a sure fire way to a race war if there were not something to take the place of welfare. We have, in the US, families who have been on welfare and public assistance of one kind or another for as long as six generations now. Having more babies gets these women higher monthly payments and more benefits. Usually the children of such women are horribly neglected while their mother spends the money on booze, boyfriends, and/or drugs for herself. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 37548997 United States 12/26/2013 02:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | To anyone who is on welfare and honestly looking for work, I'm sorry. But I live in a county where about 50% of the population is on welfare. And I'm tired of reading about meth labs blowing up that I funded. I think that if someone needs help for a few months to get back on their feet, fine, but I think that if someone is convicted of a crime while on welfare, they should lose it forever. It reminds me of a sang I once herd: Quoting: MIgardener When half of a nation is living off the other half, then that half decides that since their money is going to someone else, the work they are doing is useless, and that is the beginning of the end for any nation. you must practice these lines they are right up your alley. You do realize that all benefits by the gov requires work right? all benefits end after 5 years doesn't matter how many kids you have your done after 5 years First Collector: At this festive time of year, Mr. Scrooge, it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the poor and destitute. Ebenezer: Are there no prisons? First Collector: Plenty of prisons. Ebenezer: And the union workhouses - are they still in operation? First Collector: They are. I wish I could say they were not. Ebenezer: Oh, from what you said at first I was afraid that something had happened to stop them in their useful course. I'm very glad to hear it. First Collector: I don't think you quite understand us, sir. A few of us are endeavoring to buy the poor some meat and drink, and means of warmth. Ebenezer: Why? First Collector: Because it is at Christmastime that want is most keenly felt, and abundance rejoices. Now what can I put you down for? Ebenezer: Huh! Nothing! Second Collector: You wish to be anonymous? Ebenezer: [firmly, but calmly] I wish to be left alone. Since you ask me what I wish sir, that is my answer. I help to support the establishments I have named; those who are badly off must go there. First Collector: Many can't go there.

It is impossible to even bring up these days without some race-baiter jumping all over your case. I don't think we can win this argument any time soon. But the good news is, we don't have to win the argument. Something is coming that will reinstall the Darwin code in our country. It will soon become survival of the fittest once again. It's going to be ugly at first. But we will soon return to the way of nature. BTW, MIgardner, which side of the state are you from? Do you expect another dismal Spring awakening like last year or an early importation of Miami's climate like 2012? I only ask because I am a West-sider coming back from a deployment soon and I want Winter to disappear as soon as possible when I return home. I am definitely not thrilled about transitioning from 80+ degrees to whatever it is back home right now. |

First let's get rid of a bloated and overreaching governmental system that makes it impossible for anyone but the uber-rich prosper in business. First, let's get rid of Unconstitutional laws (and the system that enforces them) that make it a crime to use God given resources sustain your life. First let's get rid of a tyrannical system that has made it a crime to even be alive if you're not one of THEM. Then maybe government 'welfare' won't be such a big issue.
