I hate welfare bums!

OH OH OH, I got one WORST than that. My mom, and this is not under oath as I do not wish to cause problems for her, decided to become DISABLED and now gets disability from the government. Her reason, because she pees too much. Yes, thats it, she pees too much and she convinced the disability office that she cannot work because of it.

I'm thinking, and I have Multiple Sclerosis and WILL be disabled one day, why the hell can she get this help and I cannot find help for my doctors bills even. I bust my ass to make a better life for myself and I am truly the one disabled, not her.

I do not want help or assistance (outside of medical of course), however, I would rather see someone like me get it over someone like her. As far as welfare people, I couldn't agree more. I don't want to be lazy, I just want a chance to prove myself and these assholes leech off of those who work and drain from our economy.

If you need welfare because you don't know how to keep your legs shut or pop a birth control pill, thats fine but do not live off of the system, get a job when you can and for our sakes, practice birth control from now on.

Welfare recipients are the laziest people you could possibly find. It has already been discerned that they are among the dumbest (See "The Bell Curve.") This is just common sense. Really, it isn't hard to work and not receive welfare. Even if you didn't work that much, you still don't need welfare to survive; mind you, you won't be living like a King, but you could get by from doing nothing. In essence, welfare is a system that allows people to get "something for nothing" when they, frankly, don't need/deserve "something". It is because of capitalism that the poorest of the poor can live comfortably here in America... and they still complain.

So, 1.) The plight of poverty has been exaggerated by liberals.
2.) Poor people, almost always, deserve to be poor (ie. they are lazy.)
3.) People that are working hard (ie. at least not receiving welfare) are helping the economy, thereby helping the poor.
4.) The people described in 3.) should not have their money drained for the people described in 2.).

Therefore, welfare recipients, with some exceptions, do deserve to be put on an island and made to fend for themselves.

Hell yes, we are all completely normal for hating welfare bums! Why? Because we are smart. The worst part is, trailer trash moms give birth to other future teenage mothers and then she will also get knocked up in a trailer at 15 and so will her offspring, so and so forth, as long as this government allows it. Thank God Michigan is putting a four month limit on welfare recipients. Other states need to hop on this as well. If you ask me, four months is still too long. How useless are you? There is a deaf man working hard at Dairy Queen down the street! I don't see him collecting disability. Even worse, I am a hardworking, responsible middle class citizen who is married and would love to have a child of my own, but cannot, as I don't want to be up shit creek financially. Instead, I get to pay for half-breeds to keep reproducing and have their stupid, lazy, scum of an existence kids wasting 1/3 of my income. I realize this may be perceived as horribly offensive and I am truly sorry. Wait, no I'm not.

This is 100%% normal! because i agree!

There are probably a lot of people who work for a living that feel this way. So yes, you are normal. In my opinion, once someone gets on any type of welfare, they start to use it as a crutch to not work. In a way it is just weakening people. After so long, they should be forced to work, but it isn't going to happen. Until then, there's nothing to do but hate them and go on with your life.

Life sucks and then you die, and all that good stuff. It's not all fair, and I agree with you, these people should be forced to work. But there's honestly no use complaining about it.

You people realize that the reason why social security isn't able to retire people any more is because after the baby boomers the next generation didn't have as many kids. Kids=future tax payers. So go ahead and gripe about how they shouldn't have kids. Another thing is according to the huffington post and time magazine abuse and fraud in welfare/ foodstamps is at an all time low. Your numbers on the whole 10% that dont abuse the system are completely pulled out of your ass. Man... They are really doing a good job of placing the blame on the poor to cover up government spending billions of dollars bailing out huge companies such as GM, that never had to pay back oh and cutting taxs breaks for the million and billion dollar company owners. Yea... They don't pay taxes like the rest of us and they make MILLIONS... seems ligit. But hey let's blame the poor... *sarcasm* dumb bastards. I'm going to make up a statistics now that holds more merit than yours... 95% of you who have an opinion on here were barely high school graduates.

Kcb, guess what? Nobody likes their job. But they do it anyway to better their lives. You ARE a bottom of the barrel kind of person, most likely.

you know there is some people who get disability for being alcoholics messed up right but yea i agree i just got out of high school im 19 and everyone either has a kid or is trying to there jobless and still in school they automatically plan on the gov taking care of them

No - let me know when you plan on doing that and I'll be there to help unload them off the plane!

I say bring back WORK FAIR. I for one would rather work picking trash then get a hand out. If someone is hurt and unable to work thats one thing. I am in Canada and there are entire groups of people that dont pay taxes that feel that we owe them money and houses ( that they destroy shortly after getting them) I say the war is over our boys shot straighter I owe you nothing get off your lazy butt and quit your excuses..

I hate to say this but I have ppl in my fam that are on well fair and I must say I wish they all would die .... They are a drain on the econ. and they should not be able to to fuck and make a kid that will learn to be a free loading pile of shit ...... America!

If you think that most of the welfare bums live in poverty you should really take a look around NY state....they have more than I ever had and I worked all my adult life and raised my 2 kids on my own dime! They truly do have ipods, expensive hair weaves, expensive finger nails, expensive cars, expensive clothes, and money to burn at the casinos. They really do stockpile their carts with steaks and crab legs at the grocery store. The ones that have learned to burn the system without any backlash pass that info down from one generation to the next....like a legacy. They can go to school on the gov funds but then they might be expected to go to work...that ain't gonna happen!! I can tell you that thousands of them enroll at our community college..so many that it is hard to find a parking spot for the first several weeks. But, as soon as the financial aid and student loan checks are received the parking spaces free up dramatically....bunches of them quit all at once they have that free-money in their pocket. We all know they will never pay it back...they will never have to. They know the system inside out...anything that is free and keeps them from working. Popping out babies is not because they can get so much more money for each one....it is so they will never be expected to get off welfare at all.

I agree with you!

I love it when people vent!

I agree with you. How about people who have never worked a day in their life, have kids and also get social security. It won't be there by the time I need it. I will by the gas for the plane!!

Also, if you want to have a brotip as to where your tax dollars are going, consider the "War is a racket" poem by Smedly. Most of your shit is being shaken away by politicians who point the country into another unnecessary war. I had my love affair with the military and would say it's not a stretch to say that I am a natural DI/disciplinarian. Lash out against the Senate and where they're taking your sons and daughters into, the middle east, africa, germany, shit, the government supports them heavily, if they survive. It would break my heart to bits if anyone in my squadron walked right into a fire because they didn't walk the line of regiment and tradition. In addition, some lose their iron-promised benefits due to loopholes. I consider /my/ kids as anyone who is below the rank of NCO in the armed forces, and I send them care packages and write to them. Yes, the incompetence of the U.S. government is enough to enrage anybody. Blaming welfare recipients? No apologies from this one.

So, not only do we have to give these people welfare checks, EBT cards, free housing, free tuition, free transportation, etc., they now want higher salaries? Good grief! I have student loans I pay back ($350/month), high rent costs ($1700/month), $350/month health insurance (from Aetna), $26/month car insurance (thank god for Insurance Panda), $400/month for food+drink, gas/tolls/parking ($150/month), and I work 60 hours a week. If anyone should be complaining, it should be me.

Bring on the robots!

So here's an idea: how about we build apartment complexes with cafeterias and public transportation. We have corporations agree to employ the individuals on welfare who (after being reviewed by a muti-physician board) are cleared for work are paid $2.50 and hour for a 40 hour work week. The bills would be paid by the taxes we are already paying as well as their food and rent; therefore eliminating the possibility for system abuse and allowing them to save money and better themselves as well as bringing jobs back to America, helping to stabilize the economy, increasing the value of the dollar, and reducing our dependance o the rest of the world. Drug tests would be mandatory and refusal of work or a failed test would be an instant discharge from the program. I think that's fair. I pay taxes, I have a job and if I were to refuse work or fail a drug test I would be imminently terminated. Just my two cents.

Apparently my idea isn't a novel one. I just googled "volunteer for welfare" and I see that Michigan is trying to implement this sort of requirement to volunteer. Maybe other states as well, although I haven't gotten that far in my googling. I am a Democrat and I am disappointed to see that Michigan Senator Vincent Gregory (D) is fighting it. He's quoted as saying, "“A lot of people are embarrassed to even be there (asking for benefits), and they have this put on them..."

OMG, they're embarrassed about asking someone else to give them a handout, so therefore - because the "poor widdle people are embarrassed" - they shouldn't be expected to do anything to earn the money? REALLY??

What they should be embarrassed about is living so far beyond their means so that when misfortune fell on them they had little to no savings to fall back on! You got laid off? That sucks but you should have had something put aside for a "rainy day". Shame on you for being so irresponsible that you jeopardized your children's well-being by not saving for emergencies. What? You don't make enough to have anything left over to save? Then why the heck did you have children??!! It's called personal responsibily, people! Try taking some!

Honestly, which would you be more embarrassed about? Asking for free money or agreeing to give something back in exchange? That should be a no-brainer.

I've said for years that only the elderly or truly disabled (like paralyzed!) should receive free assistance. I believe that if you are capable of working (in ANY capacity) then you should have to "give something to get something".

Why can't we require that people volunteer if they want to get benefits? Your local Social Services office could now be a temp office where the unemployed show up for work and they could be dispatched to various locations to perform job tasks. It might be picking up litter or passing out snacks at a blood drive, or weeding the garden at a local school or cleaning cages at the SPCA, or ANYTHING!

I mean, COME ON, even blind people and people with Down's Syndrome hold down jobs!

Seriously, there are so many things that need to be done that don't get done because there is no funding. If you required the welfare recipient to "work" for the welfare check, then you wouldn't need additional funding to get these tasks done. The money is already there, just make it count for something instead of handing it out for free!

Governments have made it easy for people to draw money with out working.
Problem is that there are not enough people working to support all this leisure , and will be even less working in the years to come so something has got to give some were. The governments will have to start cracking down on the frauds and other reprobates who choose not to work and wish to draw money from those who do.
The cookie jar is near empty.

Welfare is tearing families apart.
At one time, when an unmarried person got pregnant, her family took care of them, until they got on their feet.
When a child was born with a disability, the family cared for the child.
When parents became aged, or a single aunt or uncle, they were taken in by a family member.Sometimes, they would stay with several family members over the course of a year.
People didn't need to get paid by the government to do this. They did it, because they were family.
Now, we have to pay family members to be carers. We are providing welfare to people whom their own family has decided they aren't worth the bother.
We have generations of baby makers, who will only produce more babymakers, but never contribute anything worthwhile to society...except government jobs to supply welfare services.
Maybe the good old days weren't all that good, but we were certainly a more self reliant and respectable bunch of people. Today, no one can take responsibility for anything they do.
There are always jobs that someone can do. It may not be the job you desire, but most of us don't have that anyways.

"Some have it and Some don't" Well I don't. I think if some people had their ways in this country. We would have concentration camps, just like Germany for the poor.

Why would people on welfare annoy you? I have never gotten it but I figure if somebody wants to live in poverty on welfare let them. I grew up poor and ever since have been trying to get to the middle class. If there were no welfare those people would be my competition. I'd rather be the person working and not in poverty instead of the person on welfare and in poverty. I also have no problem with spoiled rich kids because if they arn't working it again decreases my competition.

The welfare system needs a overhaul!

STOP GIVING EVERYONE WELFARE AND MAKE THEM HAVE BIRTH CONTROL SHOTS!!

make them get jobs within 3 years including school! DO SOME KIND OF COMMUNITY SERVICE. WOULD BE GOOD IDEA TOO. heck they help w childcare, no excuse.
limit how many times they can be on it.

including social security disability.

I been in the lets say, public servent position for ten years in the medical field.

i've seen and heard stuff that i could write a book. people know how to work the system. Their are people considered disabled because they are manic depressive and bi-polar or they say i'm suicidal . (mood swings)every little thing, u could possably think,(besides drinking and ect.) they use and get a paper trail and/or a trip to a mental hospital ect for 7 days and end up getting a free check every month.

It will never change unless strict laws are passed which also include ,,,,NO YOU CAN NOT COLLECT A FREE CHECK BECAUSE YOUR DEPRESSED AND YOU ARE A DRUNK AND CONTINUE TO DRINK OR DO DRUGS OR CAN'T HANDLE LIFE!

Jesus... welfare barely pays for rent in my city, let alone for food and bills. Disability assistance isn't much better. I haven't seen any so-called "welfare kings and queens" around my area.

Honestly i hate those who do choose to live on welfare instead of working(if they are able). I live with my mom and we struggle to get by. Shes a single mother living in a 2 bed townhouse payin 1000$ to live in a semi safe area that still has drug and gang activity and you know what those people who have new cars and house that are worth hundreds of thoudand most likely are living with a spouse who is unmarried to them and are both getting welfare. But welfare shouldnt just be ended. Honestly if my mom were to all of a sudden stop getting welfare and disability we would have to file and live under being bankrupt which is horrible when trying to apply to live anywhere. My mom has filed for bankrupty before and know we are stuck living here. Before we lived in a ghetto but were forced to move due to and ex boyfriend. But people need to understand that people on welfare arent all rich bastards exploiting the government and are most likely struggling to make it buy. I have to help my mom by having a job and being able to lend her money to pay some bills and pay for soke food bt you know what i know that i will be a strong person in the future. I think that welfare should have a more thorough and sufisticated way of being handed out. But i figured id share some food for thought and give you a point of view from a person whi lives on welfare and has no choice. if you got any questions just email me. Justin -ontario

I feel differently. I get disability for mental health reasons. Part of my reasons were that I worked so hard in college and with my jobs that I literally developed severe depression failure after failure after failure. And losing all my friends because I have a "mental health issue" and rejected by companies, and destroyed credit because I took out student loans for my only shot in college when society brain drilled you since kindergarted to do. I don't mind sucking off the tax payers dollars AFTER being kicked under the bus by them. They tell me (the successful) "Some have it and some don't" "Life is not fair" Now as one of those who get's to sit around all day doing nothing, I get to say: "Life isn't fair" Sorry. Why don't you get me a job? Disability pays more than Burger King and WITH full health care. Plus I have a "mental illness" so I am shunned from ever succeeding in life anyways... So it no longer bothers me when I am never given a chance after working my ass into insanity. Sorry. Life isn't fair. lol

if you can't beat em...

Yes I know. This one’s been here a few years. But after tonight’s experience I HAD TO HAVE SOMETHING to get this off my chest. (I’ll save tonight’s for a future post. The one I’m writing about now was two years ago and it’s even better.)

I was standing in line at a local grocery store waiting for a family to get finished paying. Well, one of the items was a bucket of fried chicken from the deli. And they were paying with...you guessed it...an EBT card. Well, the cashier informed them that they couldn’t use it for the fried chicken due to federal policies concerning food that could conceivably be eaten at the store.

I mean, it was that night’s dinner and I felt bad for them. Plus I really wanted to get out of there and not have to look at their embarrassed faces having heard what I’m sure they’d been told a million times before.

So like the nice guy I actually am (who has a firm grip on reality, anyway) I offered to pay for it. It was a little over eight bucks and it’s dinner, you know. They had kids with them.

So after some reluctance on their part and some good-natured insistence on mine they gave me a big hug and there were thank you’s all around. I felt good. They were nice enough and I felt like I’d actually done something for someone. I needed it. Because i hadn’t been having the best day ever.

So after I’d paid for my two bags worth of groceries I sallied forth to my 2003 Honda Accord...and saw them loading their groceries into a brand new Chevrolet Suburban SUV.

Never in my life had I felt so violated. It’s one thing to take my money out of my paycheck. It’s another entirely to basically steal money from me like you’re starving and drive off in an expensive vehicle.

Since then, I’ve hated them all. There are those who really need it. Badly. I mean, I live in Kentucky. I know. But the vast majority of them have made a career and a legacy out of welfare. And I’ve never despised a demographic more in my life than able-bodied recipients. I hope they burn in hell.

I agree I think these people should be steralized

I don't know if the comments are still open on this topic, but here's my two cents for what they're worth. I loathe welfare bums with a burning passion. As the OP mentioned, I'm not knocking those who are truly in a bad place in life and need the help. No, my vitriol is reserved for the trash that refuses to work and pumps out baby after baby so that s/he can continue to received support from Uncle Sam.

Let me tell you all a true story. My husband worked with a welfare bum. Yes, you read right, he WORKED with a welfare bum. Even though this loser worked forty hours a week and made the same money as my husband -- a living wage, I might add -- she nevertheless took full advantage of all the programs Uncle Sam offered her. Section 8, Medicaid, food stamps, WIC, EBT, Obamaphone -- you name it, she was milking the system for it. She would joke that the money she made on the job was just play money, and it must have been, because she would often brag that her usual dinner was steak and lobster, plus she would go on and on about the elaborate vacations she planned on taking. In addition to these atrocities, she would regularly hit my husband up for money because she was "broke" until payday and needed a drink after work at the local bar. I couldn't make any of this up no matter how hard I tried.

Her excuse for sucking off the dole was that she still had one underage child to support. She had three kids, probably by more than one baby daddy, because never once did she talk about her husband. Bitch, please!!! My father raised my four siblings and me on his meager salary and worked two jobs when he had to to bring in extra cash. So what's her excuse? Oh, and did I mention that she and her drug-dealing boyfriend tried to perpetuate an insurance scam? When my husband caught wind of this, he contacted her insurance company and told them what was happening. This welfare trash was pissed when her claim was denied! Served her right!

Sorry for this long rant, but I'll end it here on a happy note. My husband had finally had enough of this loser's crap and ratted her out to HR. They assigned him to spy on her and report back to them whenever she said or did anything out of line. Soon, she started being disciplined. On her last reprimand, they told her she was going to be fired if there were any more incidents. Knowing that the end was near, she quit.

There are other welfare leeches like her in his company, because they like to hire them so that they can collect their WOTC's, and I told my husband he needs to be the welfare leeches' adversary at all times. Don't let them get away with their crap and open your mouth, I told him. Hopefully he'll take them down, one leech at at time.

i know i am late to this conversation! BUT I HAVE HAD IT WITH WELFARE FRAUD!

I am the most liberal welfare supporter and never want that safety net to go away for qualifying americans!

HOWEVER! I am so sick of close friends and family members confiding in me that they are collecting these benefits fraudulently! Lying! The excuses are disgusting! So basically you own three new smartphones...cable tv...fast speed wireless internet...shop at "Whole Foods"...two cars...are going to school at an unaccreddited cosmetology school (which is why you can't get federal student loans when if you drove 20 mins furthers there are three accredited schools)...and your kids won't eat the school lunch provided?

now how exactly is it okay to claim being a single mother when in fact your just in a loveless marriage.....thats not what welfare was made for. welfare was made for people who NEED IT! Nobody looking at your family would ever be concerned about (your morbidly obese family) anybody starving! disgusting

Saying you need to be disabled to get free money is like saying you need to be rich to shit on the nice toilet. Fuck your way of thinking.

I'm gonna say some shit. And get smacked for it. And continue to not give a shit.

Here's a welfare bum, right here. Been working since age 14. At age 17, I was on the schedule of 3 jobs: A donut store, a grocery store, and on a technology sales team. I worked my ass off. Boy did that cash stack up. Shit's easy when you take the initiative. I had a sparkly little Honda that I payed for, in full coverage insurance, a little digit bullshit phone, and I built my tuition from the ground up without Mommy or Daddy paving me a financial tunnel to college. In fact! I owned 3 vehicles by the time I was 19, all of them cashed out and handled by me. No loans either.

Once in the university world, I was in NROTC, and I was a cadet first sergeant in CAP. In addition to pumping out A, after A (not baby after baby like most of you shit hats believe), I picked up a field hockey stick and took to the field as right-wing attack, and I ran track in high school. I pursue the engineering lifestyle, and I study it when when I'm not out applying for work.

So you can suck it at this point.

I continued to work and work and work, until my combination of PTSD, depression, etc. etc. from facing rape in childhood stacked up on top of me. Also, I've been exposed to gang violence the majority of my life. Feel sorry for me? Don't. Most of you are shined up, sparkly assholes who bitch on the computer in your spare time.

In addition, I've been through some shit, such as a miscarriage, a failed marriage, and being dropped from enlistment in the military due to medical reasons. Most people who are on welfare have been through some shit, consider veterans with no legs. I look down on some of them because they truly are lazy, but categorizing every recipient into a "Lazy welfare queen/king" for bullshit reasons is mildly annoying when you've worked hard all your life, and you still work hard.

If I'm not working, I'm out, looking for a way to work, even though no one in the area is hiring. I'll take up ghost writing, I'll sell art, I'll put myself out there for a cash flow. I also walk everywhere. And there's a fever in my system 1/3rd of the time because of it. I used to look sharp and hot, now I look just like a bum. Don't think I'll be here forever, but when I'm back on the working team, I won't condemn anyone that's less fortunate than me. Until I get back there, I'll enjoy soaking up your tax dollars and ruling a "personal kingdom". Pricks! :)

. I don't think anybody should get free money unless they are truly disabled. Disability isn't welfare, I agree some people do need disability or SSI but people who can work but choose not to because they either fake illnesses or pop out many babies are a burden and a waste of life. The kids grow up unloved and neglected so they commit crimes when they cant get any more money at 18. The girls get pregnant at 14 and there goes the cycle again. I don't get paid more if I have two or three more kids so why should a welfare bum get more money the more kids they have?

Oh gosh! Don't get me fucking started.

So, my boyfriends aunt (illegally married his father when his mother left) has been on disabilities for years. It's been about, well 10 years now.

She is the laziest bitch I have ever met.

She used to live in BC. In BC she was on welfare. She moved to Alberta (where I live) and moved in with my bf and his dad. What she did was fucking ILLEGAL. When you move out of province you are supposed to notify the welfare office so they stop sending welfare checks.

Well, she decided to leave without telling anyone so she could keep on getting her free fucking money.

Once the head of welfare in BC found out, they cut off her checks and issued her a letter stating that she owed the province of BC over 500.00$.

She bitched, complained and pretty much sucked off Rico (my bf's dad) so that he would pay the money for her. He did.

Her responsibilities in the house were to (she had to do chores because she is living there for free)

-dishes
-laundry
-tidying up the house

That's fucking it!!!! Not so fucking hard when all you do is sit on your overweight fucking ass, drink pepsi, listen to music and play yoshi's cookie all damn day!!!!!

She doesn't even do that. She asks eddy to (my bf) and when he say no, he's busy, she goes and cries to Rico saying that eddy was being "defiant" which results in eddy doing all her fucking chores.

She applied for welfare here in Calgary Alberta. She was denied. She bitched and complained during the whole process, until the evaluating doctor said he would set up a meeting between the welfare office, her and him.

Want to know what her "disability" is?

WHEN SHE GETS FRUSTRATED SHE CRIES.

That's not a fucking disability. That's a joke. I feel so sorry for all the people who need welfare and can't get it because cunts like her lazy fat ass are taking it away because they don't get off their asses, quit making up excuses and FUCKING OWN UP TO LIFE AND GET A DAMN JOB!

She doesn't even help to pay house bills or rent.

When she gets her welfare checks (she got fucking approved btw) she spends it on cigarettes, getting her hair done and fucking useless crap from avon. I want to kill her. Literally. She doesn't deserve to be alive.

I'm not even a part of the family but I pay more than she does!!! I don't even live there and yet I still help with gas, groceries and rent!

O it's normal IF you are a person who believes in earning your keep. I am a 28 y.o . woman with a severe and permanent injury to my pelvis, making it impossible to work a job where i stay still for more than 10 minutes at a time.

So instead of crying to uncle sam, I have applied my talents to survive.

I sing and play guitar, sometimes in jazz combos, at restaurants bars and weddings to make ends meet.

This is perfect because I gig for 3 hours a night about 3 nights a week. Making enough to get by.

I also hustle temp jobs here and there and just work through the pain.

So there is no reason why so many fat, lazy child popping slobs need welfare if this lady can do it alone!

I DO feel for the severely disabled..those that are mentally unable...and the elderly who are alone.

But welfare for the able bodied, for the teen parents ( the majority of the milkers), it needs to STOP! I also think our country needs to penalize teen parents and not glorify them!!

It's better than having them break into your house and murder the whole family for what's in the refrigerator I guess.

I agree with you 100%. I hate when people take advantage of the welfare system. I lost my job due to company downsizing back in November and I haven't even registered for EI because it's for people who are actually trying to find a job. I've just been taking some well deserved time off because frankly, I can afford to. I've also worked very hard to be able to afford the time off, not like welfare bums who takes use the system. I'm not sure where you're from but here in Ont. Canada its become quite a problem.

@cinnaminny, I fully agree that food stamps needs a major makeover. The government needs to make it less enticing by removing junk food, and especially frozen processed foods. I am a cashier and am appalled by what comes through. I have had welfare people come through with frozen pancakes! Learn to cook! It doesn't take that long to make and cook pancakes even from a boxed mix. To save more money, all it is some flour, sugar,eggs and milk. Not that hard. Another thing that horrified me was frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Honestly, it doesn't take that long to slap peanut butter and jelly on a slice of bread! I have seen expensive baker cakes purchased. I want to walk back to the baked goods aisle, get a cake and frosting mix and say here is your cake! These things aren't that hard to make. I see nutrition go out the window. A lot of highly processed and high in sodium foods. I am sorry, Oscar Meyer lunchabled shouldn't qualify as a lunch for a child. And don't get me started with people on WIC that bring up the wrong items and throw fits when you tell them that it isn't wic approved. Hello, you are getting free food, at least act a little apreciative!!

I think you're completely normal.

I had no idea what welfare people were like until I became a cashier at a grocery store. Now I despise them so much. Some of them are nice and you can tell they really need the help where as the other 95% are just lazy. And what really irks me is they treat working people like crap and like we owe them something.

I honestly think they should monitor what they're able to buy. I think they shouldn't be able to buy soda, cakes, candy, or energy drinks. Hell they should take all that stuff and switch it and allow them to get toothpaste, body wash, and shampoo instead. I can't tell you how many times I have to hold my breath when waiting on most of them. Seriously? You obviously sit at home all day but can't find time to shower?

I have one person that literally all they buy with their food stamp card is 12 pints of chocolate milk. Nothing else. And surprise he has no teeth.

Then there's the people who have a smartphone and nice cars and are on welfare. Yet still most of them never buy soap. Or they'll flip out if you don't use a coupon. You're already getting it for free you ass.

Also there's the families where the mom and dad have a card each then some how their kids have one too. I waited on one person whom I know lives by themselves and they had over a thousand dollars left on their card. Had no apparent disability either.

fOR SOME OF THOSE THAT ARE ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING!

yes their are people on taxpayer status because they really need help, but trust me it a VERY LOW AMOUNT.

AND AS FAR AS THE EMPLOYMENT ISSUES.. THERE ARE JOBS OUT THERE!

many people dont want them because it's not enough money or only little more than they get and feel its not worth it.

MANY CITYS RUN OFF TAXES THAT ARE COLLECTED. WHEN EVERYONE IS ON TAXPAYER STATUS, HOW DO U EXPECT SCHOOLS ECT TO FUNCTION, WHEN NO ONE WANTS TO WORK. IT DOESN'T GO LIKE THT.SO DON'T GET MAD WHEN YOUR SCHOOL CAN'T AFFORD TO STAY OPEN OR LOSES THEIR FUNDING AND BUSES FOR YOUR CHILDREN AND OTHERS CHILDREN ,AMONG MANY OTHER AGENCYS.keep that in mind when u look around your city and wonder why theres litter all over the streets and ect.

overweightdoomsayer,
Yes, I also have a flagrant hatred for those who milk disability too. Funny you mentioned 'asswipe.' That is exactly what the government does for this useless class people, wipe their asses, with the middle class' hard earned money.

I agree with you, budthewise and christine!! :)
