It’s a small sample but.. I know many people who get a check from the government and they hate it. They want to provide for themselves but have not been able to get ahead.

These people, if given the chance to start returning the checks, will.

I am one of them. We where down on our luck, looking at being thrown out of our home less than a year ago.

We accepted the help from the government when the church that I had given 10% to for over a year turned on us and would not help when my wife was told she could not work any longer..

I kept my faith, asked God for help and one night I woke up with a web address in my head.. It wasn’t a get rich site or anything like that. But a job site I knew nothing about. That site (and a few others I have learned about since getting connected) has turned our situation completely around. It’s a tech job site kinda like Craigslist. People post the job, what they are willing to pay to have the job done and techs like me can accept it, offer to do it at a different rate or just reject it.

I told them to keep their checks a few months ago.

They didn’t want to stop. The workers tried to talk me out of it. That I might still need the “assistance” I said thank you, but I know where to find you if I need assistance in the future.

Would you be willing to share that site’s address? I’m not a techie, but I’m good at recruiting.

Yep, true. A relative of mine is in the same boat; he jokes that he should be the quintessential 'rat voter, but nevertheless despises obama and his marxist policies and the American left in general, and can't wait till he gets off the dole.
