I have found that those who dont pay their bills or work for a living and those who have very little can find some kind of goverment subsidy or assistance to help them.They can continue to be rewarded for their poor judgements and lack of motivation to do something with their lives by getting all kinds of freebies.
And it is not just one family member,it becomes a legacy.The daughter or son learns the system from the mother and it carries on thru the next generation as they do the same thing.It is so much easier to not do shit and live off the sweat of our labors and taxes than it is to get a job and pay your own way.
Now,..I will admit...my statements do not apply to all as some are in definate need but it is a VERY SMALL percentage.
There is no incentive to change as far as the entitlements.No restrictions or demands on what must be done to be entitled to those bennies/freebies.They dont have to take a piss test,do community service,required to be on birth control,the food stamps can be used to buy anything and loopholes are in place so that they can sell or transfer them to others and is widely abused,They can be given cars and cell phones now,...the list goes on.
The Illegal Immigrants,...their entitlements are unbelievable and they dont even belong here and the cost to you and I are staggering to say the very least.They can go to college or any high school.Fuck,I aint even going into this here...
There are Scholarship programs that allow the welfare and poor kids to go to College,even medical school yet the dumb fuckers like me and my wife who bust our ass both working to try to give our kids the opps to go to College find we are "not in need" because we paid too much fucking taxes or own our own home.
These entitlement programs should have some sort of payback such as doing community service or volunteer work of some sort to those very programs or communities so that costs can be lowered somewhere.There should be some sort of payback for all they are given.If you give thought to it,I'm sure there all many intellegent productive idea's we can come up with..
If "regular" people like you and I know this, don't you think low income people know this, too? I'm pretty sure they have brochures at the welfare office and are probably required to tell the recipients they are able to go to school. Why don't all of them go? Because they don't have to better themselves to eat. It is much easier to sit around all day than it is to get up and go to work. That is the bottom line.
If people had to pay for their own children, they would take better care of them and value them more and invest themselves in their children's future. But because the taxpayers feed them, they let them be our problem.
I wasn't born rich and I'm not rich now. I am a middle class citizen doing what I can to have a good life. It isn't always easy, and it is getting progressively harder because of all the weight we are having to carry around with us. How many people are self-supporting opposed to those who receive benefits of some kind? How many people am I carrying on MY back? I should just have to pay for MY family, NOT somebody's else's. That is THEIR job. I resent it. FUCK THOSE PEOPLE! You are taking food from MY children's table.
If I am paying for you, I own you. Get over here and cut my grass and do some light dusting.
