It says:

WORK HARDER:
Millions on welfare depend on you!

I live in a place were 40% of the population is supported by government aid btw. I think its funny but do you think anyone would vandalise my (rusted 1985) vehicle?

I figure either the people on welfare would get mad and smash it, or the middle/upper class people would see the sh***y looking car and think it was owned by a welfare user who was making fun of them. Your thoughts?

i think that people vandalise cars for some cheep thrill and not because of any bumper stickers.

case in point

my 1972 Chevy Nova has a stickers on it that say

The only Problem with Baptist's is that they do not hold them UNDER LONG ENOUGH.

BORN AGAIN...AND AGAIN...AND AGAIN...

Jesus loves you..The rest of us think that you are an A**HOLE

my 1995 mercury sable has stickers that say.

Militant Agnoastic...I don't know and NIETHER DO YOU

No that is not a star of david (with a penticle)

Iwalk the path of the ancient ones.

the mercury got a window smashed out of it the first day that i was in my new house. noone has touched either since then. and they have all of the same stickers

that is funny...my ex boyfriend had that sticker on his car, when i had to leave him because of his abuse and wound up on welfare. That was 7 years ago, and now he has been on welfare for 7 years. We share custody, but he wanted primary so he could collect, and didn't have to pay support. Now I'm in college working on bachelors, and thats where he is. I'm not on welfare any more...but i can tell you, it is not some free ticket.

I'm taking alot of sociology classes, and welfare is set up to keep people poor. Its humiliating, and a failure, and it doesn't really help people. It keeps them poor, and its a trap and a cathc 22. I would take it off if i were you. Not that your car will get smashed, but you know the rich are laughing at you, and its a fact. They get their riches by living off the poor, working class and middle classes, and eventually, the gap is going to widen so much (if things don't change) that even the middle class will be in danger of living in poverty.

I would learn a little more about stratification. You are making yourself feel better, by putting the poor down, but you are also working class, so that the rich can make themselves feel better...oh, and stay rich.

It is like asking if your car (which is made of metal) will ever get hit by lightning if you are driving in a thunderstorm.
The answer is: No one knows.

It certainly doesn't help your cause with such sticker. It is designed to make fun of people on welfare. Contrary to what people might think, most people on welfare DO NOT want to be there. People DO lose their jobs and have to rely on welfare - not because they chose to but because they HAVE TO. Makers of those stickers are fortunate that they never have to be on welfare. The stigma it gives you is horrible. People look down on you thinking you are either lazy or less than human.

I know - I have been there!

Its funny because there are lots of people who abuse the system. I think its a good way for people in need to get help but I hate when people stay on welfare for years and use it as their way of life. They never even make an effort to get off. So I can see both points of view but I wish people would stop abusing what it's there for.

it somewhat is incorrect no remember what celebration you're in. regrettably, the police in all probability does no longer do something, yet a document. regardless of the undeniable fact that, insurance would in all probability desire the document. i does no longer categorize this as a hate crime. it somewhat is typically reserved for racial, sexual orientation, and non secular crimes, yet i will see your component. it somewhat is a tragic day in usa whilst one hears of those issues. It only rienforces that the two aspects of the political aisle have their truthful proportion of nut jobs. I do think of your question is a sprint fishy nonetheless ... YA! heavily? Like some others published ... it does sound a sprint trollish.

Man,generally most people are good but your asking for trouble in the wrong kind of neighborhood.

Some will get the point, some may use it to motivate them while others may just hate your guts and think your showing off you got a real job. Some will take it personal.

Hypotheticaly, I really don't think it's worth risking going to jail over unles my wife left me, the dog died and you just so happen to be the next victim when my mood swings.

Life is to short to risk it. !!!

I don't know what part of the country you live in, but just from the bumper stickers I see on cars and trucks in Illinois, you ain't got anything to worry about.

People got more going on in their lives than to worry about what bumper sticker somebody put on his car.

Or a CEO might slash your tires, as corporate welfare is 11 times more than individual welfare in the USA.
