[quote=Anonymous]OP, you can see for yourself. Public assistance doesn't work especially because some people choose this as a source of regular income for generations. That is a real problem, especially because their assistance comes from all of our paychecks and we watch them turn around and blow it. Flamers, I have one in my own family. Cousin under 30 never worked a day in her life and from her own mouth, "never will, what for, the government pays me," She drinks away all her money and doesn't take care of her 7 children. She makes no contributions to society and doesn't give a shit. I have seen this attitude over and over again. Why do you keep having babies when you can't afford them?

I find it odd that on DCUM the posters are quick to blast people who do work but may not budget well and don't have money left over from their big paychecks. However there is so much sympathy for the poor who don't want to better themselves, keep taking handouts and have a sense of entitlement.

On the flip side I also know or have friends who were born into poverty and welfare and now have an education and make six figures. These are the go-getters who could have stayed in poverty and continued the cycle but choose to do better for themselves. They didn't sit around expecting a handout and someone else to feed their children.

Happy New Year
