This is a real post from a real board. I haven't placed any names because, well, what would the point be? Chances are someone knows somebody that fits this any way....
"What is it with the labor department.I go there to look for a job (I have my ged) and all they offer is minimum wage jobs. How am I supposed to support myself and my four kids on minimum wage? None of my kids daddies pay any child support.Three are doing time in prison.My boyfriend can't get a job because he has a hurt back.Even if his back wasn't hurt no one will hire a convicted felon (this was over 2 yearsago).I have been waiting for my disability to come through for over a year.I have sugar and weight problems.So all 6 of us live off my government check for my kids and food stamps.They won't even let you buy cigarettes with the stamps.IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE."
I don't even know where to start on this. This is how people actually feel. The whole well-fare system is broke and the only thing we can count on the government to do ('specially with Obama in the house) is to funnel even more taxes to take care of dead beats like this. This "lady" has four children, and all four have a different dad. Good thing she stopped there, since the government won't pay for a fifth child... gee, what luck she only had four. This is what people use the system for - to pay for the kids they have while shacking up/hooking up and then they turn around and suddenly have a"medical" problem and have to suck even more money out of the system because they can't work. People like this should be on some kind of government "work program". If they aren't going to look for a job or can't, then the government should put them to work (at least then they'd be doing something beneficial instead of just drinking and partying on the weekends).
When did the system set up to help folks get back on their feet turn into a "I'm owed this. They owe me" system?!?
Wow! To think that someone would have the nerve to complain about what the government is not doing for them when in fact not only is the government supporting her and her four children but also a dead beat live in. I think there is probably some sort of infraction here with the convicted felon living with her and her four children on welfare. I wonder if he is a reported member of the household ?
ReplyDeleteProbably not. I'm supposing that he gets his check sent there with no mention of them and she gets hers sent there with no mention of him.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how that works but I'm guessing that her benefits would be cut if he is claimed to live there and gets a check for his "hurt back".
Wow. It's awfully convenient that it's a back injury. The hardest of all injuries to "disprove". Reminds me of a former wanna-be wrestler turned preacher (of all things) who got a check for a fake back injury.
