I just have a VERY HARD TIME understanding WHY when your income is 27,000 a year you have 4 kids you can’t afford!!!!
They may not have made this little in the past, yet have a strong work ethic.
Many rural towns no longer have above minimum wage jobs, due to the general collapse of work options from the economy and China, etc. Even miners are sliding into this situation.
Maybe they used to have a $50,000 job 6-8 years ago. Millions of people have lost their jobs and are unemployed or under employed.
Maybe the kids were prior to an income cut. Man people are arrogant. People are poor, but who reports on poor white people!?
Well around here I know several people with big families who are struggling to pay their bills while working a low wage job. Of course when they planned their families they had great jobs working in the coal industry.
One of the guys I know has now let his house go back to the bank (no choice) while his wife and kids stay with her mom. He has ranged all over the tri-state looking for work. He finally found a job in his field (he is a certified electronics tech that works on controllers for mining equipment etc.) in Texas. He is down their now working and saving up to bring his family down but it is really sad because they have lots of family in the area they must leave.
See sometimes people get caught up in bullshit politics and lose their jobs not because they chose it. Obama destroyed the coal industry around here and it is going to take years for this area to recover.
We have over 94 million Americans not working, and those working less skilled jobs are not employed full time most of the time. Large numbers of people have lost their better-paying jobs in their cities and rural communities and are making ends meet the best they can, in place. Their families and friends are all in these communities and serve as a much-needed social net, helping each other.
Those people who have 3-4 kids that you should be mad at are those working NO JOBS and getting by on welfare and money “on the side” that doesn't get counted as income for any official stats.
Think before you speak, Kit Cat. There is a reason Trump is appealing to so many, everywhere. Why diss your fellow Trump supporters?
Because they know that other taxpayers will help support them.
Not sure exactly what you mean, however, perhaps parents had good jobs in past—thought they could support 4 kids...but now due to lost jobs, etc., they have 4 and making $27,000
OMG! LMAO! You’re gonna be fun.
Do you think that way about all the welfare and illegals here that we taxpayers support?
What’s your solution?
