That pretty much sums up what I think most of the people who have had problems with public assistance have been trying to communicate in these threads. I don’t recall anyone really saying “fuck the widow with the mortgage and toddlers”. Most people I think just want to see those that accept public assistance truly need it, not abuse it and get off of it when they no longer need it.
And include me in thinking that there needs to be a “none of the above” choice for the poll. I see the TFP as having people usually both for and against both sides of a discussion. These discussions would suck were everyone to have the same views on everything.
