jennifer said:no offense, but fuck welfare----at least people that are on it longer then a couple of months....thats complete bullshit
jennifer said:Keep your damn cocks and pink tacos in your shit stained panties.
jennifer said:yep----and it also contributes to shity shows like Ricki Lake and Jerry Springer.
If I found myself in the position where I had no choice but to mooch off the government (which is highly unlikely) I would do my best to get back on my feet ASAP. I would be damn ashamed, especially if I had kids---that's just gross to me. Keep your damn cocks and pink tacos in your shit stained panties.

Incidentally, did either you or jennifer go to college in the same state that you pay taxes in? i'm guessing you did. pass the kool aid.
Madd Hatter said:You think it pisses you off .... I work at a convenience store that must be in "that" part of town. Here's a few examples of food stamp users:
-the guy that comes in every morning, buys cigarettes, $10-$30 in scratch tickets, cup of coffee (sometimes with his stamps). He may come back later in the day and buy some of our overpriced groceries with his stamps.
-the lady that comes in with pop cans that can't even count how many she has, then uses the change she gets from her food stamp buying $.25 snacks to buy cigarettes
-a half dozen others that come in nightly and buy 6 or 12pks of beer
-the 20 yr old girl with a kid and a 17 yr old worthless shit of a bf who buys fountain drinks with stamps. Her bf will come in almost every day and lay down $4.23 for Marlboros. They drive a white trash 83 Firebird. His arm is in a cast more often than not, I think it's an anger mgmt thing (hitting walls), or he gets in lots of fights.
All these people seem physically fine, and they come in all hours of the day (i.e. they don't work). It makes me fucking want to puke on them thinking I'm supporting these worthless fucks.
The point here is none of these people should be getting my money. If you're on FS, you don't need to be buying cigs, beer, or lottery tickets. You don't even need to be buying your groceries from a fucking overpriced c-store. Hike your ass to the grocery store.

There are alot of military families that need to use food stamps because military pay isn't sufficient to support a family. They are hardly "worthless fucks".

nordstrom is correct. Wake up, kiddies. Guess who subsidizes the lower tuition rates for state residents? Anyone who answered TAXPAYERS gets an A for the day. The lower tuition that you enjoy is no different than the handouts that you are all bitching about here. You are sucking at the public teat, too. Learn some compassion and get your heads out of your state-college-taxpayer-educated asses.

I didn't say he was an expert but he does point out the scum he does see. I probably know just as much about the real world as you do. We are real close in age and I have seen my fair share of what goes on in the real world. Some people tend to look at the world through rose colored glasses but I choose not to.
I don't think there is one post on this thread that says military recipients are "worthless fucks." I understand that some people need help in their day to day lives to simply exist but it's the people who don't try and better themselves and try and support themselves that gets in everybody's craw. The government has taken away all incentives to hold down a job these days and support yourself and/or family. I have had prospective part-time employees tell me they can make more on welfare than they can working so why work! They do have a point but it is a lame one to say the least. Before anybody says, "Why don't you pay them more?", I did say Part-time employees and not full-time.
Nordstrom is correct, I agree! I'm all for supporting higher education and rarely will you ever hear me bitch about paying higher taxes to support it. I would rather have college students in school learning and expanding their knowledge than a bunch of cracked-out crackheads dealing on the corner in my town.
Fish said:Okay how about this...
The man I work with, 59 years old. Took early retirement to enjoy life. His oldest son, a real fuck up, got sent to jail for 10 years. So his wife, 4 kids, got to go on welfare. She gets $400 a month and $500 in food stamps. She has plenty of food, but can not pay for a place to live. So the father-in-law, my co-worker, went back to work to help her out. What would you all have her do? Leave the 4 small children at home and go to work? Pay for daycare, any of you with kids know this is $100-300 per child a month. Please tell me what all of you would tell her.
Maybe "fuck off bitch your not my problem"
Maybe "you should have used a condom"
Maybe "you should have made better choises in life"
None of those feed the kids or keeps them out of the rain.

I found Madd Hatter's post to be the most hateful among a bunch of posts that are throwing around generalizations about people they don't know. One thing I have learned is that there is a story behind every story.

HumorMe,
Your age shows (no offfense) in your reasoned response. I threw away the rose-colored glasses about 25 years ago.---about as long as some of the people writing on this post have been alive. I found Madd Hatter's post to be the most hateful among a bunch of posts that are throwing around generalizations about people they don't know. One thing I have learned is that there is a story behind every story.Actually there is an excuse for every person. Real stories are made by people who pull themselves out of the problems of life. Show me great people who lived on welfare, show me their contributions to society. And don't think that I totally blame these people. When society tells people that "its not your fault", and gives credence to every pathetic whine, then it is no wonder that people are swept up in the entitlement mentality.
The general implication was there in the tone of the post. As you know, I only used the military as an example that doesn't fit the "worthless fuck" stereotype that was being built. Sure, there are professional welfare abusers and they need to be thrown out of the system. But not every welfare recipient is trash. I agree that there are no incentives (other than personal pride) to keep a job that is only marginally better income than welfare. That is the point where I would rather spend more taxpayer money to train those folks, while they are receiveing benefits, for a job that will take them beyond that A/B decision. After that, they're on their own.Sounds hunky-dorry, but that ain't the real world. Tell me how you take people off of welfare that have lived on it their whole lives or are the second and third generation of social dependants? Workfare? LOL, you must have never worked with these people before. They work harder at not working. So we just tax the working class more to pay for training courses on how to work, sounds great.
Also, I don't like the idea of the military living on welfare, but I have no sympathy for them. Let me see, if I have a job that does not pay enough to support my family, then what should I do? Stay there? How about get the fuck out and find a real job? Nobody is forcing them to stay. Too many people are in the military for the sole purpose of government benefits: education, medical and retirement.
I agree completely about higher education. I just think that younger folks that are benefitting from the public largess (kids, go look it up next time you're in the taxpayers' library) need to recognize that fact and not be so quick to look down their noses at people in different situations that they know nothing about.
Tell us why we cannot look at others using the values and experiences gathered in life and make judgements? Why are others entitled to the prosperity that the working class provides, not to society, but for their own families, since government uses it's power to steal from these families? And why are they entitled to more every day? Is is because we fund public education?, corporate handouts? Should we just open the flood gates like the left would have us do and provide for every whim of the general populace?
Fish said:To post on and on about how bad any given thing is, but give no soulution is immature. Great you think the system is bad. So how would you fix it? Have you been poor? I have not. I have great parents that have helped me all through life. Not all people have that. My best fiend was "abandoned" on his 18th birthday. His parnets sold their house, bought an rv and 5lbs of cocain. He did not see them again for 6 years. He made it with no help, because of people like you. He did not want to be the weak sponge on society. If he would have looked for help, he could have gone to college. He could have been more than he is now. Instead he is a brick layer. Back problems at 27, and no end in sight. We are the richest county in the world. If you own a house you are in the top 1% in overall world wealth. Not if you have a million, if you own your house. Maybe you should lighten up. So much waste in our society and you have to pick on our poorest people. Like kicking sand in the little guys face to show how tough you are.

musclebrains said:Whatta pack of bumper-sticker argumentation.
The percentage of the US budget going to AFDC is just over 1 percent and, if you add food stamps, it's 2.8 percent. Hardly anyone derives benefit from the program for more than 2 years -- the vast majority for about 7 months.
The AFDC budget is only slightly more than the American foreign aid budget -- and the percentage of the GDP we allocate to foreign aid is the lowest among major nations.
The largest expense is Social SEcurity followed by defense, medicare, medicaid and the federal debt.
So about 2.8 percent of your tax dollars go to public welfare of the sort you're griping about here.
