Oh really? Then tell me how the system works if you wouldn't mind. Two people very close to me work here in Virginia helping these people and I can assure you it's not what you think. They help people on welfare find jobs, help them find transportation, do WEEKLY assessments on them covering everything from their relationships to drug tests etc etc. and eventually help them GET OFF of welfare. There are very strict guidelines in place and they are monitored more than you'll ever know. Oh, and this place I'm talking about has 2 or 3 cars people can use and I can assure you that they barely even pass Virginia's safety inspection. This broad generalization that everyone on welfare are just sitting around, taking money, and doing nothing is nothing more than uneducated people on the subject making uneducated guesses. You may or may not be one of those people, I don't know.
I understand that some might abuse the system, but that's the case in all walks of life.
That my be the case some, but there are so many people abuse it. I even know one personally.
He has held one job in his life and then quit a few weeks later "because a monkey could do it". He still lives with his mom while he's 29. He has 2 kids by 2 different parents and barely raises them. His mom does the majority of it. All he does is sit around at home playing WoW. Yet he gets enough money and food stamps to live fairly comfortably, enough to make him not want to go out and get another job.
There are so many stories like that. While some people may get back on our feet, we consistently waste a ton of tax money helping people who have no intention of getting off of it. Just giving them a free car, that they'll never have any restrictions on or have to return, is just wasting even more of our money.
