Yeah, a few bad apples spoil the bunch, but you seldom hear of the good things that come out of welfare...
I equate it to the homeless guy on the street who yelled at me because I gave him coffee and a bagel, he wanted the money for it... Now, he claimed he was going to use it to buy food... I supplied the food, he didn't like it. I see that a lot with welfare cases (and I've lived in some pretty crappy areas...) I've done a lot of volunteer work with soup kitchens that are run by either religious or charitable organizations, I have no problem with that... People can get a hot meal, maybe it's not in their own home, but ah well -- get a third job...
I'm not sure whyit is the responsibility of the government for feeding the masses?

who said it was okay for louis to slack off? did you even read the above responses? I don't understand. Yes mal people are against abuse of the welfare system, but a third job? give me a break. Please, so let say a single mother of 2 has a full time job 8-5, her kids are school aged so there in school while she works. What does she do with the kids when she goes to her second job? no social programs to watch her kids according to you, how does she work? or is she to just leave her kids home alone and hope they'll be okay?
I hope you never get to a point that you require assistance, oh wait your thoughts that we don't need those programs. So will you starve? go to a life of crime? kill yourself, remember no government, nobody to watch your back incase life deals you spades. People need to get off there mansions and out of there hummers to see that there is a real world out there with real issues that may not be as cut and dry as typing on some internet forum. delete if this is a flame.
