“Or are you saying they should be living under a bridge with their children since the dad only works part time?”
I thank God for my part-time work, because it keeps me off the streets and provides food for my table.
Exactly how much do you make ‘helping’ the poor? I’d imagine you make substantially more than me, and stand to lose this if your job went away.
The only people who helped me find work and the way to a future life, were the people who, unlike you, actually cared about me.
Let me tell you a story. When I was down and out and in a really tough place, I went to you folks for help, to claim disability benefits, to which I was and have always been entitled.
You know what you folks told me? I was ‘employable’, and thus, not entitled to the benefits that were being distributed by the state for that precise purpose.
So I want to hear this drivel as to why the state cares about me? Because they really don’t care, and no, the social system is broken.
Most of the money that is set aside for the poor, gets eaten up in the salaries. Truth. It’s never about the poor, but about making sure that the bureaucrats get and keep their jobs.
Nope, I am suffering from the terrible economy too, do not work for a government agency, I wish I did, good benefits. Nope, I doubt I make more than you. Self employed.
BTW if you are talking about SSI, they are handing it out like a candy store now. Apply again. Part of the agenda is to get as many people on assistance as possible, so the Democrats can get elected again.
