She has a valid point.
The champagne & lobster donor crowd has no problem getting Republicans and Democrats to sign a discharge petition to reopen the Export-Import Bank.
Taxpayer-funded welfare for wealthy corporation isn’t considered a luxury.
But people literally living from month to month, they’re the ones disparaged and accused of ripping off taxpayers.
If welfare were ended tomorrow, it wouldn’t make a dent in our deficit.
I understand we live in a world where money can buy influence and favors in high places.
It doesn’t mean I consider it just and for some people, redistribution is fine as long as it goes to them.
I mean people who won’t exactly starve if the Ex-Im Bank isn’t reopened.
Those of us who looked down on are told that’s needed more than welfare.
That says a lot more about the character of our society than it says about whether people abuse the system - but let’s at least make sure the same standard applies to rich and poor alike.
What the heck degree did she get in collge that she cant evr get a job that pays more than $11 an hour?
Why did she have multiple kids given she knew she was poor? How is that considered good and sound decision making based on your current and future limits and expectations?
Where is daddy? How much does he pay in child support?
Those who rob Peter to pay Paul, are always supported by Paul.
Her anger is misdirected. It should be put firmly on the administration and their failed economic policies that have placed her in this position.
If she made $50 an hour she be in the same boat and scamming the “system”.
Next time don’t be a single mom.
This is the goal is a socialist government to limit opportunities through the destruction of the free market where even those who want to work hard and be independent get sucked into the welfare wormhole. And good for her oldest being in the international baccalaureate program. That can be a stepping stone to the ivy league.
If this lady is telling the truth, she’s one in a million.
I lived in a welfare town for 18 LONG years and they waste their money and have no reservations about cheating the system.
If you cannot afford to have kids, don’t.
Where to begin.
... kids ...
If you can't afford to feed kids you shouldn't have kids
The most underpaid workers are often the ones you'd miss if they weren't there
Sorry whiner, you're not underpaid. You're paid exactly what you're worth. You want more money? Learn a more valuable skill.
5) I'm not poor because I'm lazy or stupid or uneducated
Wrong again. Tootsie roll you're both lazy AND stupid and a perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
My older child is terrifyingly brilliant
LOL at this one. All I can say is, NOT IF HE HAS YOUR GENES.
why don't you start valuing my time as highly as you value yours?
BEACUSE YOUR TIME ISN'T AS VALUABLE AS MINE. Not by a long shot.
This loser has a bone deep sense of entitlement. She has not the slightest concept of economics. She exhibits evidence of a lifetime of making poor decisions (multiple kids and she has a "fiancé" )In short she's just the sort of person I'd like to see squeezed off the public trough.
I didn’t see a “thank you” anywhere in there. Just a belligerent, self-righteous sense of entitlement.
What the heck kind of degree did she get in college? If all she is worth with that degree is 11 bucks an hour, she was robbed.
I think I found the fork in the road.
Kids, but no husband?
Why did you have kids?
Child support from the baby daddy or daddies?
BTW, you're welcome for the help. The government had to take money away from another family to feed yours.
And by the way, thank the Democrats and Obama, who have now made sure there will not be anymore jobs with more than 29 hours, nor with benefits.
They obviously don't value your time at all.
College education got her a career working fast food counters. She has kids but not a husband. And absolutely no ambition.
It’s legal to pay you so little because that’s what your lablor is worth. Your employer would give you 40 hours a week, but you probably voted for the kenyan anti-christ, and thus you got obamacare and an economy with less growth and fewer opportunities.
You effed up, along with tens of millions of others. It’s all your fault.
The economics of restaurant/food workers getting paid more via government mandate equals fewer people eating out.
This will certainly mean that more restaurants and fast food places close, being run out of business because the profit margins for them are so narrow, and in the end, more food service people jobless, and more competition for the fewer food service jobs remaining.
Maybe this a person who needs the assistance. Unfortunately justnlike disability, for every real need there are 10, 20, or more people who abuse the system. As long as more people abuse the system and make it a way of life, I will oppose that system until it’s reformed. The. Living wage thing tells me she is ignorant and the mention of 2 adults in the house says she is married to a deadbeat. Therefore liberal with poor life choices wining about the rest of us not doing enough for her. Just because she wrote it well and says some of the right things the facts leached through, Entitled liberal with poor life choices!
When you’re down and out and there’s no job, friends, family, or church to fall back on, there’s always the government. And remember, the government is always there to help you. Right?
Sounds like someone who voted for Obama’s hope and change. BTW, there’s someone down in Mexico (or over in Syria) that will be along shortly to take her job for a few peso’s less. Maybe even take some of her welfare too. She better brace herself, it ain’t getting better until we get some leadership in government.
Next time, she should marry a rich man or at least a man who can provide a decent living for his family. There are still good men out there and fathers matter.
