and one of the quotes from the docu. i just saw was something along the lines of: social programs are not a cure for poverty....JOBS are a cure for poverty.
maybe instead of giving these people 'free' benefits---or making them work for less than minimum wage for their benefits---place them in jobs or something. even if the jobs had to be MADE--considering at least half of people on welfare wouldn't TAKE one of their jobs (and would not get social service either)--the gov't and tax payers would end up SAVING money and of course those people would probably eventually get different jobs in the private sector.
and those that choose not to take one of those jobs should just be left destitute...and their kids taken away from them.
i know people who abuse welfare and truly need it........
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1458016Nice idea but it's kind of hard when corporations are laying off employees, moving factorys and jobs to other country's.
We are not gaining jobs, we are losing jobs, as the gap between the rich and the poor increases each day.
The town I used to grow up in was a thriving town. In the 80's it was bustling with activity for a small town.
There was a denim factory that most everyone in the town worked for. You could ride your bike all over town without fear of being mugged. Everyone knew each other and each year the town roads were shut off for a town celebration.
Now the factory has been closed and moved to mexico. The town is dead. Anyone with half a brain left, they have deserted houses left and right, absolutely no job's whatsoever.
This is what happens with a so called "free market system"
Unregulated corporations can do whatever they want regardless of the consequence to the common man.
