For your Info I work 40hrs a week in school raising my child by my self. So your misconception about welfare is wrong. Just because you don't receive it don't make you any better that the people who do. God let you get everything you got and he can and will take it away. The you might be on welfare.

Many of you that are working are on welfare! Corporate welfare! And using MY money! I wish you weren't working and then bitching about the majority whom you refer. They are children, who will one day work, the elderly who have already worked, and the disabled who can't work! So if you don't know what you are talking about, find out before making such a stupid statement!
Want to start putting 10 year-old children back in sweat shops! I bet you do if you could make a buck!
Almost 1/2 of the homeless hold a full-time job, and 1/2 of families in the US earn less than $25,000 a year! Poverty wages, while you get rich off of their backs!
You should be the last to complain!

I'm sure some people are, either because they are disabled or retired. I personally don't know of any, and I am not on any govt assistance.
But your statement doesn't make sense. If someone is not physically capable of holding a job, that's the reason they aren't working. I think you mean "not physically incapable"....

Contrary to very popular belief, there is no such program as welfare. The closest to "welfare" is TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families). This is paid to mostly mothers with young dependent children. It also has a work or job training requirement. And as the name implies it is temporary with a 60 month lifetime cumulative limit. (See the Welfare Reform Act of 1996).

Because they are lazy. They stay up all night and drink and get high and use government funding to support their addictions. Not all of them but I bet about 98% of the people on welfare are capable because if they were not they would be on social security disability.
And no I am not on welfare.

There are various reasons why people are on benefits. They maybe, as you rightly pointed out, incapable of working. Or they are a single parent looking after their children, they may have other problems: emotional or mental. All of these people deserve our help; that's not socialism, that's humanism.
