If Joe the plumber decided that he wasn't going to work, he would have to separate from his wife and kids, in order for them to collect welfare, AFDC, Food Stamps and WIC. He would be compelled to reimburse the state of Ohio for the value of that welfare as well as the value of the back child support from the date of the separation. Since joe would have the money since he's not working Ohio would name him as a deadbeat dad and throw his sorry butt in jail. He would be deneid visitation with his children.
That's today...imagine what it could be under Obama/Odinga.
Work for someone else and be their property??? Sounds like marriage to me.
parsy, the cynical
