$445 for zero hours worked... more than I make per hour
And don't think that those same people are not also receiving other 'benefits' toward food, housing, etc
What does it say when working people are not making it? Maybe that their decisions, choices, work ethic, skills development, etc are not what they should be and maybe they have to take the personal gumption to do better for themselves, for it is their responsibility to do so.
Typical blame the victim mentality of the right wing....
Welfare recipients are getting rich off of $100 a week. Let the family and children starve and sleep under an overpass. It is their own fault because they are lazy
If your job pays $10 an hour and you earn $20,000 a year, it is your own fault because you are obviously lazy and made bad life choices
The fact is that lower working class families used to be able to support a family on the wages of one family worker. Since the Reagan revolution, lower middle class families have been squeezed out of sharing in available wealth while the upper wealthy classes have seen significant increases in their pay and assets
Typical diversionary tactic by the far left
Nobody said the welfare 'recipients' are getting rich.. but that they are getting something for their personal needs and responsibilities, for nothing
So I take it that you working a 20K a year job is someone else's fault? They got poor grades to get you that job, or they had bad work ethic, or they did not obtain extra training, or that they refused to take a job further away, or that they refuse to take a drug test for a job, or any more in the list of reasons??
You are not entitled to 'share the wealth' of others... however you have the freedom to earn as much as your abilities, efforts, risks, decisions, actions, or whatever else, take you to

Maybe they are not that bright, maybe they are disabled, maybe they live in an area with high unemployment and low wages ....
Not everyone can go to college, there are not enough high paying jobs for every worker, someone has to do the menial work.
Is your position that they should go hungry or live in the streets because they cannot find a better paying job?
