I agree with you, they usually put the guy (if single) to work, however, if he has a family I think they can put the whole family on welfare.....there are many articles (just Google Joe the plummer AND taxes) about his back taxes, the lien on his property, the fact he never was a licensed plummer, and never got a journeymens license to practice under someone else....as I said before, not a good example. I am a Viet Nam Era Vet and we had a lot of agencies to help us find work once we returned from active duty, dont know about good ole JOe tho.

Guess what cowboy? I've been on WELFARE! Yes, I admit I accepted WIC for 6 months when my first child was an infant. I guess that means I can't ask a question of someone running for President, or that I have no credibility or something?

He never had a license because he didn't need a license because his boss has a perfectly valid license.

Joe is the PERFECT example of a regular guy because that is exactly what he IS. Sometimes people have trouble in life. I guess in your way of thinking only the perfect among us is allowed to have a public voice.

you have so much hatred going you see it in what you read....I am not saying anything is wrong with welfare, but when you have used it in your past you can’t legitimately call it socialism when others need it....that is all I am saying ......

I, too, have personally known more than one person who accepted help with welfare at a time when they were at rock bottom. One went on to get a law degree in the passing years and the other is now living a very comfortable and independently-earned lifestyle. Both of these people were in a very hard place at one time in their life, and yet did all they could to become indepenedent, which they did.

There are times and circumstances when some among us are humbled and brought low, but have the courage to rise again.

Both of these people I know would not—and are not—afraid to have “a public voice” and to be part of of their own destiny.

It is the unhappy fact of generational dependence on government that is a problem.
