Welfare 5

For those of you who are so ignorant to believe that for every one person that deserves welfare there are 5 who are sitting on their "fat and lazy" asses collecting a check ever week, I have news for you. Who do you think you are to judge who deserves welfare? You have no authority and obviously no knowledge on the subject. If you want to categorize people, I will do the same. People who are not on welfare, obviously work hard and live rich lives and have always known those ways. None of them are rapists, drug dealers, or FAT. Obviously. Let me tell you something, there are so many new rules in the welfare system, it is very hard to collect welfare if you are just sitting on your ass. If there was no welfare, so many people today would not be anywhere in their lives because they have no resources to make it. Take myself for example. I am a 19 year old female college student. I have a single father who works in a foundry and makes 12 dollars an hour. He supports 4 children. I work my way through college, I have two jobs and go to school full time. If it weren't for welfare, i would be nowhere right now. I would have no education, i would have nowhere to live, no medical insurance, and i would have no food on the table. How many people out there are in situations similar to mine? Many. You don't have to be jobless and lazy to need help. So get pissed because you spend some of your tax dollars to help people in need. I spend my tax dollars doing the same and i am one of those people. I would gladly give up more to help other people in situations where they need help than not give money just because of the few people who are the stereotype. Step back and take a look. Not everyone catches breaks. So next time you are bitching about where your tax dollars are going, think about the single father working to support his children and broke his back in a car accident. Think about the 16 year old girl that got raped and ended up pregnant, think about the struggling college student who is on her own and can't get anywhere, think about the single mom who was is an abusive relationship and made the decision to leave, it's those people who need our help, and so what if a few people aren't doing anything,that is punishable by law, and sooner or later they get found out. You are selfish, immoral, and a complete ignoramus if you think welfare is pointless.
