I rent to THOSE PEOPLE, they don't listen to any of this. All they know is their welfare check date and when to apply for Sec 8 housing. That's it.
They don't listen to the news, or read the things we do, they don't care.
I have sat down and explained the system to them, they just listen with that DUH look on their face. When I tell them they are more of a slave now than ever, they don't get it.
I've tried, but they simply have no reference for any type of support system, and they don't know how to make the first step and break away.
Once the system broke up the family unit, no fathers in the home, it is hopeless for those mothers.
People who work with the underclass do tend to despair of their capacity for improvement. Nonetheless, some do change their lives on their own or with help. As for the majority, “tough love” in the form of cutting off the handouts might help. If nothing else, it’s hard to see how the results could be worse than what we have now.
