Ok so this is kind of a rant lol.
I work very hard for my money. 6 days a week I am busting my butt to support myself. Why are some people so lazy?!!? It really gets my blood pumping knowing there are people out there on welfare and other government assistance that don't work. I know there are ones who actually need or deserve the assistance and do work as well to support their families. I see alot of families with brand new vehicles and new houses, but no one has a job to pay for it or they do illegal acts of making money. When I am basically breaking my back everyday and have a vehicle that is over 10 years old. It just makes me so mad, that some people live off the tax dollars of so many hard working americans.
What are your opinions?

I'm currently unemployed and receive what is called in the UK Job Seekers Allowance. I'm not lazy, I lost my job through redundancy and there aren't many vacancies available now.
Although I have cut down on bills and spending I still try to treat myself. I save any money that is left over after my budget and after so long I will treat myself to something nice to cheer myself up, sometimes I spend £5, other times £50. These people you talk about with cars etc could just have saved up or been given money by family or friends

I'm not discriminating against anyone who has lost their job and is on government assistance because I have been there before. I'm talking about the people that just live off the government money and don't try to get a job. Here in the US it's a little different when it comes to the people with brand new vehicles. Yes, some may have saved their money, some maybe got the money illegally and some I know used their government assistance(which is meant to HELP pay preexisting expenses) to go buy a new car. And like I said it's not all of them just certain ones

One problem of people being on benefits and staying on benefits is their upbringing and what they are taught. If a child sees their parents never work, claiming of the state and managing then there isn't much incentive for them to go out and work for a living. If they saw their parents manage then they will think they can to. The message these children see is that it's OK to stay on benefits and that those that go to work are the daft ones as they're having to kill themselves to make a living rathen then sitting back and living the life of riley.

Actually if they are living well off from welfare then they are probably cheating the system in some way. Welfare doesn't pay enough to live really comfortable. What a lot of them do, is get someone to live with them and they don't claim that income into the household. There is a couple here,where the woman has several children from a previous marriage. Her boyfriend holds a very well paying job. She lives with him, claiming that she is renting from him. She gets quite a large amount in food stamps and cash. Then she sells some of the foodstamps for cash. She also gets help with her "rent" so that is more cash in her pocket as well as fuel assistance. It's disgusting.

If these suckers don't try to get welfare from the government, then those welfare department employees will be out of work, federal government will be blamed for not spending our tax dollar westefully by those public employees union. Isn't that the main reason congress refuse to scrap the welfare program off or even refuse to lower the fund allocation for the welfare program just few years back so that they can continue to borrow from creditor and piling up the nation''s debt. Until federal government demand those lazy fat as*es go out and get a job, you should expect more lazy people lining up the welfare department and food stamp agency collecting 'free' stuffs. It is just how lazy people get by every day.
