You’re kidding right?

I won’t even dignify that utterly ignorant statement with a response.”

How big is your family? Everybody in the family could chip in to do the same thing for her that the taxpayers are being forced to do.
How many of your family would do that if it was the only option? Would you?

No, I’m not trying to bait you.
No, I’m not kidding.
No, it’s not ignorant questions or statements.

Pn the flip side )acknowledging that every situation is different), my family rallied to take care of my out-of-work youngest brother and his wife and daughter. Family-subsidized apartment, job with another family member on a construction job, a loaner car from another family member, free childcare so his wife could get a job, and a bit of extra cash to get by. All of this was supposed to be temporary -- "until they got on their feet again."

Instead of paying his contractor's insurance ($400), he took the money to buy a flatscreen tv.
His wife refused to work, and spent grocery money on waxing her "personal regions" and getting her nails done.
They let their car insurance and registration lapse.
Their child went without even the CHIP insurance.

It was not until we completely cut them off, let them get evicted, etc., that they actually started doing things for themselves -- complaining bitterly the whole time about the unfairness of it all, because they "needed" the help.

philetus,

You understand what I meant.

See my post #29. Headstamp should know where I am coming from. I was being not ‘cold’ or ‘ignorant’.
