Becuase stealing is bad

Because I wish to live my life as a free individual

Because when the sides get drawn, I want to be on the side that produces, not the side that mooches

People who mooch are social parasites. I don't want to be one of those.

Having the bare minimum isn't acceptable for me. I don't feel like having to wait for " tha first or the 15th" to be able to get shit done. Poor people are a burden to everyone, I don't feel like being part of that burden.

Although I would LOVE to be able to do anything I want 365 days of the year and getting paid for it, the small amount of $ they get isn't enough for me to do it

I like stuff like sports cars and strippers to ride around in the sports car and top shelf booze and over priced sushi and flying first class and being able to keep a young woman in a house I pay for in return for considerations and....well, you get the idea.

Because it's a fallacy. Few people are on welfare because they think it provides everything you need and is great.

The question assumes that people would only do it if it was great.

It's not great. It's good enough for a lot of people though.

Well duh.

The point is to show that the "living on welfare is so easy!" people never apply it to themselves because it actually isn't so easy. It sucks. The rant only makes sense coming from committed elitists like Paul who think poor people are inherently inferior and therefore will accept sucky conditions so they can be lazy.

I sat around all day for years at my father's house. It sucks!!


The thing is welfare gives you enough to barely live but not really enjoy yourself and once you are on social security disability you will most likely NEVER GET OFF IT

As someone who works with the homekess there is a solid percentage who refuse to use the shelters because of all the hoops ( like drug testing as one example ) the state forces them to jump through

One of you two are confused. Also flat screens are cheap now. I just recently bought my daughter one for school and it was under $300. Sell a couple of bags of dope and you can do that easy. I think you are assuming that the welfare is their only source of income. wink

I know 2 people who are currently on welfare. I wouldn't call them "lazy" but they've defiantly gave up already on attempting to better themselves and lack pretty much all initiative

One of them used to (i don't think still does) but used to sell his food stamp cards so he could buy other crap (mostly pills, he was/probably still is a major oxy addict). He has had more DUIs too than I thought was even allowed (3 that I know for sure). The other was just a college drop out that I guess didn't want to go back to his parent's house, or something. They might've changed, it's been over a year since I spoke with either of them


Oh yeah my cousins/aunt/uncle are also, I totally forgot about them. They're total junkies. An entire family of junkies and one of them is a hardcore evangelical, oddly enough, which got him fired once

I don't mind people who are working and still need welfare to help their families, although maybe they could have had a kid or two less, what bothers me is the people working under the table and getting welfare. I still think people who are getting welfare and not working should do some form of community service at least three days a week.

My brother told me for years he planned on getting off Social Security. Now that that talk has stopped.

I still cant imagine his life. I have no idea how he and his girlfriend live. I heard they stay up massively late watching movies and then sleep in massively late, spend time shopping for food and other things. I cant imagine it.

Once you are on it you are on it for life unless they kick you off it
