Im all for people who truly need assistance getting it. By that I mean disabled, handicapped, widows who were homemakers their entire lives and children. All the others need to be cut off period and need to get a damn job. I live very very close to a social service office and everyone there for "assistance" drives a nicer car then I do and typically wears newer clothes then I do. I do not have a problem with this, what I do have a problem with is the fact that we are paying for it! I see them in the parking lot talking on their cellphones that WE pay for. Our fuel assistance running their vehicles while they sit in the parking lot idling with the ac on, lord knows we dont want them to sweat, otherwise they would get a job. I know one chick that has like 13 kids, literally, all raised by some agency or foster family. I know married couples that are legally "separated" because they get a few hundred bucks a month more. They get their health care for free! They get their prescriptions for a buck! If you set on your ass long enough your back will hurt too, then you can sell your OCs for some real cash. The safety net programs in this country are eating away not only at the financial heart of the nation but has become a way of life that is propagating swiftly across they board. Their kids have little to no chance at making it because they have never ever in their lives seen what it means to work for a living, they have no understanding of pride or purpose in life and have no problem taking you for everything your worth.
So now back to the original question.....If I have to be drug tested TO work then they sure as fuck better be drug tested to spend our God Damn money. Its one thing to set on your ass and be depressed because your a worthless nothing sucking the life out of the planet, its another to be out parting everyday and night abusing medicaid. Shit like this is part of the reason while healthcare costs so much. They go the the emergence room because of a tooth ache or back issue knowing they will get their drugs and never pay the bill. A guy was just in my place of business yesterday making a payment of $25 on a few thousand dollar bill he has owed for years now, bitching about having to take rehab and classes to stay out of jail.... The piece of shit pays the man $400 bucks a month and me $25, he owed me long before he owed them. Then gives me this spill about being on fixed income, I can promise everyone that no one shows up at my house at the end of the month handing me extra money so arent we all on fixed income?! I see these people buying party trays at the grocery store and we all know how expensive that shit is, all because they are too lazy to cut it themselves. Had a woman in line that day offered to buy my stuff on her card "welfare" if I would give her a percentage of the money back in cash. The government will never stop this because a large portion of their population is directly under their control and as long as thats the case these people will never look for something better and prosper.... and will never rise up against whats going on in the world around them.
