And......that makes you a dick who does not have concern for his fellow man.
I have lots of concern for my fellow man, it's because of my concern that I'd give them a dose of tough love and quit making it easy to be useless.
Kids seeing their parents who are healthy being comfortable while doing nothing is a big reason, imo, why we now have generational uselessness.
Taking care of those who CAN'T take care of themselves I am 100% in support of. There is a big difference in the words CAN'T and WON'T.
SO much in one sentence. First, how many welfare kids do you think live with both parents? How many wefare recipients are healthy? and just how comfortable do you think subsistance living really is? (you ever tried it? I haven't, but it doesn't look like fun)
That being said, do you support remedial reading, writing and math classes for those on welfare. How about job training? Should wefare recipients be given hiring priority over those applying for a job not on welfare? Should the guvmint support companies that look to hire ONLY welfare recipients?
And finally, what do you think is more important to a poor person; survival or looking for a minimum wage job that doesn't quite pay enough to survive?
Single parent families is another whole issue, and the lack of the traditional family, imo, is a big reason for the state of America. But there's lots of single parents making it while working and not on the welfare, it's not easy though and that's why the welfare cases take the easy way out.
I've said from the start I support looking out for those who don't have their health.
It's quite comfortable considering it's free, shelter, cable, cell phones, food, xbox, the "poor" have never had it so good throughout history.
I support remedial education for anyone who needs it, welfare not required.
The best person for the job should get the job. No consideration of anything else should be given.
No, the government should not help anyone discriminate in who they hire, this is the problem, folks want and expect government to make their decisions for them.
Judge Judy said it best, "if you can say "do you want fries with that" you can find a job".
