Did anyone read a bunch of those. All of these people have:
- a place to live
- a car
- food
- friends / family that help them out
- free money from the government to live on while “trying” to find a job.
I dont know about any of you, but thats not a bad life, is it a life of excess? no, but neither is most peoples lives… [/quote]
I’ll have to find it again, but I remember a report that came out earlier this year based off census data. The average family in the US living in ‘poverty’ had:
A place to live
Food
At least one car
A big screen tv
At least one gaming system (current; wii, xbox 360, ps3)
Clean water
Clothes
Etc
To me, compared to the rest of the world, our families in poverty are sitting kinda nicely.

I made a thread about it already and everyone threw shit at me for suggesting that instead of focusing on everyone labeled “under the poverty line” which is arbitrarily at thirty percent of America (I even found out I was considered under the poverty line and I live an awesome life), we focus on the something like .8% of American families that are actually homeless. Get more return for our money since the rest of the money is just supporting people sitting on their couch.[/quote]
HELL…YES
Also, make the requirements for social services more stringent, drug testing, verification of dependents ect. And don’t make it a moneymaking benefit to having more children i.e more children = escalating welfare.[/quote]
You guys might actually be able to understand the situation if you weren’t busy jerking off to your superiority over all those “lazy” people who are unemployed because they’re “sitting on the couch” instead of going to work.
If “poverty” is so great and the poor are just getting a free ride, heres an idea: quit. Quit your job, move in with “family or friends”, just sit on the couch and take the free ride too.
Whats that? You wont? Oh, right, I forget - you’re just better than all of them.
That about right?[/quote]
How many three generation welfare families do you know? How many two generation welfare families do you know?
