I'm sure they would love to have a raise. I have gotten to know some people in my area on welfare, not all but, many are working the system BIG TIME. Michigan is overly generous with welfare. We desperately need to stop welfare and go back to local charities. People have no sense of pride anymore. They don't care who they take money from because they don't know who's giving them money. They look at it as the government. They don't see the everyday hard working families, who are working extra hours, because their pay checks are shirking. Because the corrupt politician's have to pay their base for more votes. There is a woman that I know, who has just had her 3rd illegitimate child. And I'm really sick of paying and paying and paying for these people. Like it's there right to live however they want to live and we have to pay for it. Enough already, if she didn't have welfare to fall back on, my guess is, she would have stopped at the first child.
Ok, I'm done with my rant...lol
