How Come lazy People get REWARDS?

Me and my husband go out work hard, live paycheck to paycheck, but cannot get state assistant for food. My poor disabled mom cannot even get it, even tho she get a little disability check.



However if me and my husband were to quit our jobs or have about 8 more children and collect them welfare checks ( o then we would quailfy because we are lazy bums who don't work. The only time I truly have been able to get help is by lying and that is sad. HARD WORKING people get no help, but lazy bums get it all. What is Wrong with our Country?How Come lazy People get REWARDS?
You described our country's current situation perfectly. I don't know any people who are sitting on a big pile of money, taking trips to Europe, and not struggling paycheck to paycheck. I get so annoyed when people on the news say that there aren't people struggling to just make their bills - like they would know, making hundreds of thousands of dollars every year!



What's sad, is that our government thinks everyone is doing just fine. That's why they set ridiculous limits on who qualifies for assistance (food, housing, etc.), student loans, tax breaks, disability/elderly benefits, etc. And, why they think that the checks they are mailing out in May/June will be going towards new big screen tvs (to keep the economy going) vs. where they will actually be going... to pay bills and set aside for an emergency.



Have you noticed that at your work, the lazy people end up getting promotions? Or, they are at least ';buddy-buddy'; with the boss? That just seems to be the way our society has gotten.



Hopefully, the economy will start turning around and we will all be better off - very soon! Stay true to who you are - continue working hard - your kids are watching everything you do, and you're the best example they have.

Because Life's a *****.
put like that, this country has got it all wrong
because that's the way our crazy world works but much like why do people treat ugly people like crap because their ugly like they made their self ugly just to piss you off but people who cool looking could get alot of love but are complete a holes
Do I really need to say it? This is caused by LIBERALS! I too work my butt off at 16 hour shifts, but my lazy neighbor who is young and able-bodied sits at home on her butt all day and soaks the government dry. We all need a helping hand at times, but when these lazy sacs of crap live their entire lives this way it is so discouraging. Food stamps and medicare should be a temporary fix, not permanent.
I totally agree with you.... we have to work hard to support people that want to be lazy. Lazy people get the handouts when they can %26amp; should work, but when hardworking people have something bad happen to them and need a little help nobody wants to help. Its 1 thing that is definately wrong with this country.
let's see....you work hard. I presume at a job that relies on a growing economy.



the government gives money to poor people...they spend it...and help keep the economy growing...so people like you have a job.



Sort of symbiotic
I've been on welfare and i sure didn't feel like it was a free ride. they had my bank account info. so if i put money in or cash a check they would know and i would lose my benefits. i did lose them but all i ever got was covered health insurance and dental for one month. i was single, in college, and worked at chuck e. cheese. no food stamps, no free money. you can't buy a car or plasma TV with food stamps anyway. unemployment is a whole other subject. you know you only get 6 months unemployment. and most of the money from unemployment comes from the insurance your company pays for.



people that work instead of collecting government hand out don't quit because it's not as sweet as it sounds. quit your job and lets hear from you in a few months. didn't think so.
Been there. Long time ago when we were first starting out, husband worked long hours, labor, 6 days a week. I worked part time here and there. Couldnt get assistance...but yet....the laziest, scumbags can collect big checks each month PLUS get medical/dental insurance. We were penalized for actually working. Should we have been the ones to get assistance since we were trying to help ourselves? Youd think. The system is a mess. I dont know why but it makes me sick. When Clinton was president I believe he made welfare reform (?). Stopped some of the have-kids-to-collect-checks people from having kids to get checks each month from what I have read. Still needs more improvements. A$$ backwards is what it is:{
Because someone has to take care of them, the rich wont do it, that leaves people like most of us that work our butts off to get by and it is infuriating to watch this happen, i am with you on this 100% They should get jobs.
It isn't symbiotic, it's socialism when the government takes that money from the hard working to give it to the welfare leeches.

Oh the poor little things can't be expected to bear any PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for their miserable lives.

Case in point: anyone in New Orleans that is still dependent on nanny government. If I hadn't hauled myself up by my bootstraps in almost THREE YEARS TIME, I deserve everything I don't get!
There's a saying that goes like this '; it's not what you know but who you know' you know that your mom should get states assistance but until you know someone who can help you, you'll get nothing. this is the principle LAZY people live by.they reap rewards because they benefit from other people's hard work and achieved status.
I can't help but wonder...does anyone actually know all these scumbags who are supposed to be on welfare etc? Cause it seems like there are a whole lot of them I've never seen...maybe its the stereotype talking.



**I do not disagree that there is somebody somewhere taking advantage...but just because you didn't meet the qualifications (its not completely arbitrary) don't act like you didn't get aid because you were a hard worker.



My fiance and I are in the same boat you guys are...we just don't make enough to cover rent, bills, debts, healthcare but can't get help. The problem is that wages are high enough to cover cost of living and that the rules for government programs don't factor that in. I've written letters to my state representatives about this disparity...maybe if you write too we can help make it better.
