it's sort of flame but -- whatever....
I don't drive a car because I can't quite afford one, I don't own a house, let alone a mansion, because I cannot afford one. I DO NOT expect anyone to take care of me, but me...
Come down to NYC and watch the people on welfare driving around in their cars, or sitting on their porches drinking beer, talking about the latest show on cable... When you are on welfare, you do not get those benefits. I've spent enough time volunteeering in the NYC public school system, hearing pregnany 16 year olds tell me to my face that they want one more kid because it means a larger apartment... nevermind the fact that the father pays no child support for the first kid...
The system could possibly work, just not the state it's in right now... and for the single mother of two kids, where the heck is the dad, and why isn't he paying child support? Why is it my responsibility to pay for her kids when she should have kept her legs closed.
