You'll never convince them of that though. The politicians have them convinced they're victims so they glob on to that fig lear and take it to the bank - or, the social welfare office - and sign up for all the free shit that they've been told is "rightfully" theirs.

I don't have an exceptionally great job. About 17 an hour. But we always have money for food' mortgage, and fun. I don't understand the logic behind not working and being poor. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 45290884 United States 08/17/2013 09:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The dole goes back to the depression era. It was that era's welfare (as in doling out money). Socialism started in the early twentieth century as the "progressives" i.e. atheistic communists took over government. Prior to that CHARITIES took care of the needy. Of course the communists didn't like that as almost all charities had a Christian foundation. Now that America is a socialist nation, the only cure is to collapse the system. Everyone who is able must get on welfare, section 8, food stamps, mecicaid, wic etc. EVERYTHING! The welfare system will collapse the economy, and we can have our inevitable revolution, and hopefully restore our Constitutional Republic, and banish socialism forever from America. |

Dole is welfare, handouts, free shit that's given to you for your votes socialism and continued devotion to the social welfare system. Free food, free 0beymephones, free housing, free money, free healthcare, free day care, free contraception... It's all free, free, free! Well, it isn't REALLY free. You have to agree to give up all the respect you might have had at one point for yourself. You have to give up any sense of honor. You have to give up any thought of providing for yourself and your family and having a prosperous future. All that is what it costs you. No new cars, no private schools for your kids, no boat or lake house for summer vacations. Nope, just a life of whining, bitching, pain and continued service to the socialists in office. |

Very interesting view. I don't think I've heard that. Wouldn't that involve people quitting there jobs though to be able to be approved for the welfare? If you quit your job and go to Social Services looking for a pay day you're out of luck. Their policy is they will not give you any help until 6 months has passed since you quit your job unless you had a good reason, health, etc. They are onto the fact that people quit jobs to get assistance. One person has already posted that they had a stroke. There are many people through no fault of their own find themselves in the position to need help. The whole program is supposed to be a temporary helping hand until someone can get back on their feet. It's not meant to be a way of life that's handed down from generation to generation. There have been some changes made to assure that those that really need the help get it but of course that's not working totally. There is a 36 month life time cap for receiving temporary emergency assistance in NY. After that time is up no more, ever. ..."The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts.

MostlySunshine User ID: 25097558 United States 08/17/2013 09:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was on food stamps about four years ago. My husband and I got laid off in the same week. Quoting: MostlySunshine This is a good reason why it is a helpful system if it doesn't get abused. Yeah, and the cow jumped over the moon. So wise one what would you have suggested since we we're laid off in the same week? Oh let me guess...get a job. Sorry that's when there was hardly any jobs. Having food stamps was better than eating out of the dumpster. Oh but i'm sure you'll whine. Your spending MY MONEY. Guess what when I had a job I was paying my taxes. Yes I know there are people who live off the system. That pisses me off. Yet not everyone does this. My Grandma is 80 and she has to use food stamps. I highly doubt anyone would give her a job. Ain't no sunshine when she's gone...ain't no borderline psychotic emotional outbursts either. Some days you just have to create your own sunshine. |
