I know several people that are getting medicaid, foodstamps and other forms of welfare because they are not married and have children. What the government does not know is that these women are kliving with the father of their children and these men make plenty of money to support them and they do. I think this is disgusting and unfair to those people out there who really need help, they should be ashamed of theirselves. what do you think and do you think that the government should maybe do a little more investigating before approving these people.

agree with you. It's something I think about quite a lot. Where I come from to work is kind of a privledge and a pain in the *** at the same time, but taxes do take a sizeable chunk out of anyone's income. People on a benefit admittedly do not receive a large income, but it's a pain in the *** when they say that they should be on one because "boo hoo" they are a single parent or whatever. And when the people who are working and basically, apart from all the rest of it, paying for them through their taxes, quite possibly have things which they could choose to say "boo hoo" about also. Anyway - that is just regarding your basic everyday run of the mill single parent family, which honestly probably does need quite a lot of help. If someone is together with someone else and passing themselves off as single so they can claim more benefits, then that is shitty yes. If they have plenty of money coming from someone else I don't think they should be chasing welfare stamps as a lifestyle option.

yes, i worked with some people like that once. it is unfair to the people that follow the rules and do need the help. unfortunately, no matter what the government does, be it change the rules or administer welfare and aid programs better, there will always be people that will figure a way to work the system, and do so with no shame.

I think it isn't right at all, and it should be monitored. They should provide health care to all, and stop giving out food stamps, and start doing free meal programs for children up to the age of 18.

I am in agreement, the sad thing is so many people really need assistance, but will not get any because of the reputation of welfare scumbags

We need to quit feeding these leaches. I am sick of it. If they had a choice starve and watch you family starve or work, they would work.
We do not give them that choice.
I would like to see 95% of welfair stoped.

If it bothers you so much, turn them in. Isn't that the right thing to do?
