Seems rather funny that they are all working yet they can still cash in on other folks hardearned tax dollars.
Not all work. My neighbor sure doesn't.
Some that do work and have kids get a lot of aid to pay for food, utilities, housing, school, phones, medical, etc. By the time a middle class person pays out of their own pocket for all that, we end up with less disposable income than some who are considered poor. Since some have most of their expenses paid, they pretty much keep most of their paycheck. Even if they only make $12,000 a year, that's a large chunk of disposable income each month. More than most of us have.
There is a different between helping ensure that families have the basic necessities and making them really comfortable being poor. If they have plenty of money to spend each month because they get so much aid, what is their incentive to ever get off welfare? Why would they want a higher paying job when it means less cash for fun because they'd have to pay their own bills? The liberals want people to settle into a life of government dependency and since the people are coming ahead, they will stay right where they are at and keep voting for the sugar daddies who keep them.
Even though people have the EBT cards, which has the food money on them with money for other things, the libs want to feed all children breakfast, lunch and dinner all year 'round at the schools. It's only a matter of time before fully cooked meals are delivered to their door free of charge. This would mean they can use the food money for other things. It isn't that they need more help with food, it's that the libs want to make sure they have plenty of money left after all expenses. Now they have free cell phones, so there's more extra money for tattoos, nail salons, beer and cigarettes, etc. That is why welfare recipients are so supportive of big brother government.
It scares them when anyone suggests that they should take training, move up to a better job and start paying taxes instead of collecting them. They know they won't be sitting as pretty if someone shuts off the freebie faucet.
