I won't judge those who really need a helping hand, or assistance in life . There truly are those people who just need a step in working towards the right direction by getting some help on any level. I think we all know good hardworking people that deserve this. I guess its easy to judge, but then again most of us have busted our asses or penny pinched so that we have the life we lead now.
If you serve or work in a field that has contact with people on assistance, you can relate to how annoying it can be; when people obviously abuse the system.
Here are some really fucked up reasons people collect, and I have heard :
Diabetes, bad back, illiterate, number of children, its owed to me……….
I guess when your own government’s check/balances fail; it ultimately enables people to become lazy or feel that this assistance is owed to them. Jesus, why would you get a job or work towards bettering yourself when you can collect so many benefits by having babies, and just getting fucked up drunk on a nightly basis. Not to mentioned the name brand purses, cell phones, and cars they drive. It’s sickening. The system is flawed and allows for fraud.
I’m totally for an overhaul, drug testing, and random home visits by social workers. If you collect welfare, you should NOT BE ENTITLED to collect an income tax checks either. I wonder how many people would straighten up if there criminal record would affect their monthly assistance?
On another odd note, a new public housing complex was built. The local newspaper reported that each individual “condo” cost around 125k. The rent the inhabitants pay was anywhere between 25-50 dollars a month. Ha!
