I'm a single woman that has worked since I was 18 (ten years). I applied to go to college when I was 23 on my own income, yet I was turned down because I had to state my parent's income. (I lived alone for four years) If I would have been married or had children or on welfare, I would have gotten a free ride to college.
So, I've worked for these past ten years, paying for my health care benefits and my taxes.....why can't I get help when I need it for certain things? If I ended up with several children with different fathers, I could do that.
My family member refuses to marry her boyfriend. They have three kids. They get thousands back on federal returns, both are going to college and they have a house and free medical care, two cars. Both have low paying jobs. My married pregnant friend had to pre-pay for the birth of her child-she had medical insurance! The other pops out babies free every few years! How is it that people who work their asses off get screwed like this?
