[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you comments were not racist, at all. There is a lot of abuse in the system, people who think there is no abuse are either naive or willfully acting ignorant. Something to share: The Starbucks I go to has nice young girl (AA) working as a Barista there, we chat a bit everyday and she is very nice and provides excellent customer service. One day in the matter of conversation she mentioned that her mom lives in the projects not too far from the Starbucks and has been living there for 27years. I still like her the same and respect her work ethic but for the life of me I can't understand why somebody would use temporary housing benefit for their entire life. I walk by that section of project housing everyday, every single one of them has cable and majority has young, able people living in there. I understand the concept of generational poverty but government needs to set a time limit for the good of these people, otherwise they have no reason the change a perfectly subsidized lifestyle and OP and me can work ourselves to our grave.[/quote]

Ummm...you do know that there ARE time limits to certain types of assistance?  And what most entitlements these days are kids in the household or diabilities.  An "able" person cannot stay on welfare forever - at least legally

But it so nice of you to be concerned about the perceived lack of ambition by the barista's mom as you are waiting for your $4.00 cup of coffee.  LOL[/quote]
