couldn't agree more... it has it's uses, but there should be limits, like max 6mos - 1yr or something. I was on welfare when I first moved out with my gf. I got her pregnant, she had to live in a group home, so we had to move in together when my daughter was born, and I couldn't find a job.
But I did, I was on welfare for 2 years, hated every min of it and worked my ass off to get things straightened away. Finally got a job and have been working ever since.
I live in a shitty neighbourhood, the "projects" across the street from me is full of low life scum who leech off the system, neglect their kids, drink, party, and buy fancy clothes for themselves.... why the fuck should my tax money be paying them??
I should be allowed choose what demographic gets my cut of the taxes, cause I sure as hell wouldn't give it to those assholes.
