		<description>Okay first off, the author sounds like a complete idiot. Yah it is not fair to have money taken from your paycheck period. but thats just how it is and will always be. And how dare you act like you are paying so much money for the low income society. Its of no difference to you or anyone whether the money is for a new road or for the food stamp program, you are paying like everyone... many single mothers work their butts off and still just cant afford to put food on the table. so they have food stamps to help them. But they also pay the same taxes you do. So the high and mighty crap being preached is wrong. you have no right to look at a child and mother like you pay for them to eat or live. Everyone does. so get over your crap! I do agree to a point about the issue. I do think there is a huge crippling effect that leads to the government being taken advantage of. I think it is rediculous when you see a single mother who is on housing say...with one kid...but then ten years later she pops out another 3 kids. That is where the government is rediculous. there should be limitations that could maybe prevent so many idiots from being irresponsible. For example maybe a mother with 1 or 2 children who is recieving aid should know that thats it. her and the 2 children are covered and if she goes and gets herself knocked up, unmarried with no plan, she will not recieve more aid then she already has for the family she already has. Maybe then you wouldnt see so many &quot;baby daddys&quot; out there because they would already know ahead of time there will be no more help. But no government basically says...hey go ahead we&#039;ll make sure your irresponsibilities are no problem for you.</description>

		<description>If a hand up is more important than a handout, America misses the boat on many counts. Relying upon incarceration to remove the ties that should bind men and their families, legitimate or not, with jobs or not, the American taxpayer becomes the meal ticket for the child (children), the mother (usually on some form of AFDC or schooling aid), and quite often, the father (who may well be jailed under oppressive regimes of mandatory sentencing laws). That places more and more entire families under the welfare system as recipients of those who work and walk the straight and narrow, unfairly, and unnecessarily - to feed the government machines.

Surely, this would not pass any test of democratic logic, nor conservative capitalism. Broken homes are extremely costly to society, depending upon why they are broken.</description>

		<description>I am a living witness to the testiment of the fact that welfare should be eliminated.  I am married to an Evangelist of Apostolic, Pentecostal Faith and she took our four kids and left the State Illinois to return to her home state of Louisiana over some marital differences.  The main difference being that she admittely cheated on me with another man and even tho&#039; I&#039;m willing to forgive her and continue our realationship, she still left.  She&#039;s not well educated and I noticed that she was reading alot of self-help, career changing, self motivated books while she was awaiting a decision from her job approving her to come back and work. However, she lost the job and I believe that this was the last straw for her, resulting in her conclusion to leave and get on welfare and file for child-support instead of continue to pursue the &quot;American Ambition&quot; of working and raising a family in a UN-BROKEN home. There&#039;s no doubt in my mind that the illegitimate pregnancy rate and divorce rate for that matter would go down if welfare was iliminated.  People would be forced to take the government&#039;s breast out of their mouth and get their damn hand out of the government&#039;s back pocket and work and get along instead of being so DAMN Selfish and LAZY!!</description>

		<description>i have never seen such ignorance as i see today while reading these comments.  have you no compassion, if not for the one&#039;s abusing the system, but for the honest folks who really need a helping hand. not all assistance reciepients are drug using, cockroach infested, law breaking dirtbags, believe it or not. beyond that, people of that nature exsist in all economic classes of society, people just tend to turn a blind eye to it when they don&#039;t THINK their tax dollars are footing the bill for the behavior.</description>

		<description>THE UNEMPLOYED SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO THE SAME BENEFITS AS WELFARE PRECIPITANTS WHITE OR BLACK WE ALSO ARE VOTERS. WELFARE HAS NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE OF CARING FOR THE NEEDY. IT IS JUST ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS GETTING MORE VOTES THOSE THAT NEVER WORKED MAKE OUT BETTER THAN THOSE WHO WORKED HARD AND LOST THEIR JOBS BY NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN.</description>

		<description>The idea of &quot;we the people&quot; is a conglomeration of ideals and equality that states in this nation can decide for their selves what is best for its own state, this meaning that each state can decide a tax appointed program that works for them. Alas welfare doesn&#039;t work like that, its a federally mandated bastardized version of a good idea. It started in the 30&#039;s to help those effected by the depression and the dust bowl disaster that swept the farmlands of the Midwest. Through the generations of manipulation its now the destructive force come to be know as today, a hurricane of &quot;locusts&quot; so to speak. A sickening percentage of allocated tax payers continue to help the socially inept, Buying diapers for kids they don&#039;t have, feeding children they never birthed, submitting their paychecks to urban renewal projects that flop after the first 5 years. Its our responsibility to continue paying for these practical jokes? Forced to pay taxes that go to political agendas they assemble behind our backs, all ready spending our money before they have it, and the reason for this is they never suffer the impact of their decisions. they money continues to come from the working class and if not, they just print more! this makes our cost of living a nightmare for any one making under 30 - 40,000 a year.

I watched a country&#039;s war of &quot;protecting our boarders&quot; yet I see a border with a half finished wall. I see UN policy being used to rebuild other country&#039;s except the one bordering our nation, 94,000 US troops occupying foreign countries. Where are our troops when we see domestic war? This is a job for the same party that started it! Without the blatant punishing of the ones who keep their pockets lined and dinners fancy! Congress needs to assist the situation and redeem the plague that is welfare, It&#039;s costing America billions yearly, yet they cant figure out a way to fix the debts incurred? The Fed Gov continues to live pretty fancy off the tax payers, helping CEO and CFO friends get off Scott free after they financially rape home owners and the elderly who pay in to SSI and Retirement. The reason for this is they can&#039;t get blood from a stone... Meaning the ones living off free money cant pay back anything in value, the burden is then shifted to the ones who do make honest money. 

 To all the tax dodgers, welfare mothers, dead beat dads, illegal immigrants and the ones abusing stay at home health benefits. These people are a major negative impact on our financial infrastructure, they return nothing and their act of diminishing return is causing inflation! If cost goes up then people who had a hard time buying luxury&#039;s previously are buying nothing now. Now having a harder time paying for their mortgage, family&#039;s move out of once thriving neighborhoods, this causes our government to take up land that will either not be used or will become a welfare cesspool, supported by the adjourned neighboring tax payer.</description>

Their momma taught &#039;em how, or they picked up the pamplet on US welfare before they crossed the border.  Proof they CAN learn.  Does it bother anybody else that tons of these folks aren&#039;t Americans and never plan on becoming one?  Oh well...</description>
